Abstract

An apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: identify a keyword from machine-readable text; identify a contact center resource based on the identified keyword; update a first group of keywords associated with the contact center resource based on the identified keyword; invoke an action based on analysis of the keyword associated with the contact center resource; monitor the action and report results in response; and update a second group of keywords according to analysis of the results.

Claims (37)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:

identify a keyword from machine-readable text during a session with a client at a contact center, wherein the keyword reflects a skill possessed by the contact center resource;

identify a contact center resource based on the identified keyword;

update a first group of keywords associated with the contact center resource based on the identified keyword;

invoke an action based on analysis of the keyword associated with the client or the contact center resource;

monitor the action and report results in response; and

update a second group of keywords according to analysis of the results, wherein the second group of keywords is associated with a second contact center resource.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the text is derived from a communication session between a client and the contact center resource, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

tag the communication session based on the identified keyword.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the text further includes text associated with a communication session between the contact center resource and a supervisor of the contact center.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the text is converted from an audio recording.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the contact center resource is a contact center agent, contact center product, or contact center service.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the action is at least one of routing a call, routing a message, or generating statistics.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

search to discover entities based on the identified keyword.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the action includes inferring relationships between certain entities based on similarity evidenced through comparing associated keywords attributed to those entities.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the action includes providing search engine functionality to discover problem interactions based on the keyword.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the keyword reflects sentiment or mood of the client or the contact center resource.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the action includes inferring an interaction topic based on historical record of frequency of use of the keywords relative to those topics.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

maintain two different sets of tags for the client relative to two disparate client roles of interaction with the contact center.

13. A method comprising:

identifying, by a processor, a keyword from machine-readable text during a session with a client at a contact center;

identifying, by the processor, a contact center resource based on the identified keyword;

updating, by the processor, a first group of keywords associated with the contact center resource based on the identified keyword;

invoking, by the processor, an action based on analysis of the keyword associated with the contact center resource;

monitoring, by the processor, the action and reporting results in response;

updating, by the processor, a second group of keywords according to analysis of the results, wherein the second group of keywords is associated with a second contact center resource; and

maintaining two different sets of tags for the client relative to two disparate client roles of interaction with the contact center.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the text is derived from a communication session between the client and the contact center resource, the method further comprising:

tagging the communication session based on the identified keyword.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the text further includes text associated with a communication session between the contact center resource and a supervisor of the contact center.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the text is converted from an audio recording.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the contact center resource is a contact center agent, contact center product, or contact center service.
