System and method for proactive intervention to reduce high cost channel usage
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a system and method for proactively generating an intervening message for a remote client device in response to an anticipated user action. A computing system receives one or more streams of user activity. The one or more streams of user activity include interaction with a server of an organization via an application executing on the remote client device. The computing system inputs the one or more streams of user activity into a prediction model. The computing system identifies an anticipated user action based on a prediction output from the prediction model. The computing system determines, based on a solution model, a proposed solution to the anticipated user action. The computing system generates an anticipated message to be transmitted to the remote client device of the user. The computing system transmits the anticipated message to the remote client device of the user.
1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a computing system, a user action originating from a mobile application operating on a user device authorized to access an account of a user managed by the computing system by detecting a trigger event from one or more user interactions with the mobile application;
inputting, by the computing system, the user action into a prediction model configured to predict a future action to be taken by the user;
determining, by the computing system, that a bandwidth of a primary communication channel can be reduced by identifying an alternate communication channel capable of processing the future action to be made by the user; and
based on determining that the bandwidth of the primary communication channel can be reduced, generating, by the computing system, a message to be transmitted to the user via the alternate communication channel before the user accesses the primary communication channel for performing the future action and transmitting the message to the user via the alternate communication channel, wherein the prediction preempts utilization of the primary communication channel for the future action.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more sequences of instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, causes a computing system to perform operations comprising:
identifying, by the computing system, a user action related to an account of a user managed by the computing system, the user action comprising a trigger event associated with a loan application or credit application;
inputting, by the computing system, the user action into a prediction model configured to predict a future action to be taken by the user;
determining, by the computing system, that a bandwidth of a primary communication channel can be reduced by identifying an alternate communication channel capable of processing the future action to be made by the user; and
based on determining that the bandwidth of a primary communication channel can be reduced, generating, by the computing system, a message to be transmitted to the user via the alternate communication channel before the user accesses the primary communication channel for performing the future action and transmitting the message to the user via the alternate communication channel, wherein the prediction preempts utilization of the primary communication channel for the future action.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein identifying the alternate communication channel capable of processing the future action comprises:
determining a complexity of addressing the future action to be taken by the user; and
determining that the alternate communication channel can handle the complexity of the future action.
