Abstract

A method of providing artificial intelligence (AI) functionality to target legacy customer outreach platforms of a plurality of tenant enterprises includes storing a plurality of AI templates, each of which is associated with one or more AI routines, generating a campaign object associating one or more of the AI templates with a tenant enterprise from among the plurality of tenant enterprises, transforming a communication on a switching network associated with the tenant enterprise according to the one or more AI templates associated with the campaign object, and providing the transformed communication to a target legacy customer outreach platform of the tenant enterprise.

Claims (31)

1. A method of providing artificial intelligence (AI) functionality to target legacy customer outreach platforms of a plurality of tenant enterprises, the method comprising:

storing a plurality of AI templates, each of which is associated with one or more AI routines;

generating a campaign object associating one or more of the AI templates with a tenant enterprise from among the plurality of tenant enterprises;

scanning a communication between a customer and a bot to categorize an attribute of the customer; and

triggering an escalation on a target legacy customer outreach platform of the tenant enterprise to move the communication between the customer and the bot to a live dialog between the customer and an agent based on the attribute of the customer according to the one or more AI templates associated with the campaign object.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bot comprises an AI routine from among the one more AI routines.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication between the customer and the bot is a telephone call.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication between the customer and the bot is a text message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication between the customer and the bot is over a social media page.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute of the customer comprises a sentiment of the customer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute of the customer comprises a tone of the customer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute of the customer comprises a personality of the customer.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising setting an alarm based on the attribute of the customer according to the one or more AI templates associated with the campaign object.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target legacy customer outreach platform comprises an automatic call distributor (ACD).

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target legacy customer outreach platform comprises a dialer.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target legacy customer outreach platform comprises a customer relationship management (CRM) system.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein said triggering includes triggering the escalation via an application programming interface (API).

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the campaign object further associates one or more agents with the tenant enterprise.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the campaign object further associates routing rules with the tenant enterprise.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the routing rules associated with the tenant enterprise include routing rules associated with respective agents or agent groups from among the one or more agents.

17. A non-transitory program storage medium on which are stored instructions executable by a processor to perform operations for providing artificial intelligence (AI) functionality to target legacy customer outreach platforms of a plurality of tenant enterprises, the operations comprising:

storing a plurality of AI templates, each of which is associated with one or more AI routines;

generating a campaign object associating one or more of the AI templates with a tenant enterprise from among the plurality of tenant enterprises;

scanning a communication between a customer and a bot to categorize an attribute of the customer; and

triggering an escalation on a target legacy customer outreach platform of the tenant enterprise to move the communication between the customer and the bot to a live dialog between the customer and an agent based on the attribute of the customer according to the one or more AI templates associated with the campaign object.

18. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the bot comprises an AI routine from among the one more AI routines.

19. A system for providing artificial intelligence (AI) functionality to target legacy customer outreach platforms of a plurality of tenant enterprises, the system comprising:

a database for storing a plurality of AI templates, each of which is associated with one or more AI routines;

a decisioning and workflow engine for generating a campaign object associating one or more of the AI templates with a tenant enterprise from among the plurality of tenant enterprises; and

an AI-based compliance and preference server for scanning a communication between a customer and a bot to categorize an attribute of the customer and triggering an escalation on a target legacy customer outreach platform of the tenant enterprise to move the communication between the customer and the bot to a live dialog between the customer and an agent based on the attribute of the customer according to the one or more AI templates associated with the campaign object.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the bot comprises an AI routine from among the one more AI routines.
