increase customer support speed with chatgpt
How might we empower our agents to give the best customer experience with the power of AI?
The problem
How might we empower our agents to give the best customer experience with the power of AI?
Call agents are used to clunky outdated, and disconnected systems. Providing them with a unified tool helps agents focus on the customer. When customers called in with complex questions, agents aren’t able to “Google it” due to security risks and contractual obligations with our clients. Using a combination of ChatGPT and custom data science models, we can help our agents serve our customers more effectively.
Hypothesis: Agents have created workarounds and hacks to make the most of legacy tools. Empowering them with a sleek design and AI-driven support will improve productivity leading to more sales.
Product goals
The second paragraph of an article is sometimes called the “nut graph,” which is short for “nutshell paragraph.” That’s because this is usually where the article gets to the heart of the matter—the main point. After the first section, the reader is ready to hear what’s truly at stake in this piece of writing. They’re invested. They’re paying attention. If your piece is long enough to have long, multi-paragraph sections, then you’ll want to use this strategy throughout to make sure you’re holding reader attention in a consistent way.

My role
I was the Senior Product Design manager for the workspace. I supported this team from the beginning of the project in mid-2023. The domain is comprised of engineers, product leads, and data science. I was responsible for leading research on the workspace and determine the overall design direction of the project.
Arriving at the proposed solution
The initial discovery interviews showed us that many of the legacy agent tools did not work as expected. I made several research trips to sit alongside our call agents and understand their needs. We received rave feedback from early prototypes and continue to iterate and evolve the design.

Challenges and other solutions explored
Many attempts had been made to build on top of the legacy workspace. This resulted in a very congested and complex UI, and sometimes old experiences were abandoned. Integrating modern data science models in a complex UI didn’t work. Some AI experiments were ignored because it was there was too much look while other AI experiments were not impactful because they were delayed. Thus, the idea was born to build a new system from scratch.
Designing the call bar was particularly challenging. We had to learn how to help a call agent make call transfers and triage for the customer. The workspace continues to be a rewarding design challenge.
