Abstract

A method includes selecting a customer of a company; constructing a digital footprint of the selected customer. The method includes inputting the digital footprint to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The method includes obtaining one or more probability values from the AI engine based on the input digital footprint. The method includes selecting a call driver, from among a plurality of call drivers, as a predicted call driver. The method includes providing the predicted call driver to a call center associated with the company.

Claims (20)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor of a system, in response to receiving user input, cause the system to perform,

selecting a customer of a company;

constructing a digital footprint of the selected customer by obtaining a plurality of digital breadcrumbs based on user data of the customer, the user data of the customer being stored in a first database and the plurality of digital breadcrumbs being stored in a second database, different from the first database, in such a manner that the digital breadcrumbs are mapped to the customer;

inputting the digital footprint to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine;

obtaining one or more probability values from the AI engine based on the input digital footprint;

selecting a call driver, from among a plurality of call drivers, as a predicted call driver; and

providing the predicted call driver to a call center associated with the company.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the system is further caused to perform:

detecting a call received at the call center from a customer,

wherein the selected customer is the customer from whom the call was received.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the plurality of digital breadcrumbs comprises:

retrieving the plurality of digital breadcrumbs from user data of the customer stored in the first database.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the AI engine includes at least one of a decision tree, a linear classifier, a neural network, and a time series classifier.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more probability values correspond, respectively, to one or more call drivers from among the plurality of call drivers.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein selecting a call driver as the predicted call driver includes selecting, as the predicted call driver, the call driver from among the one or more call drivers, that corresponds to a highest probability value from among the one or more probability values.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the system is further caused to perform:

receiving an indication of a customer,

wherein the selected customer is the customer for whom the indication was received.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the second database is a digital footprint database.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the first database is an enterprise data warehouse.
