With Q4 starting to ramp up, today we talk to Ray Nolan, CEO of eDesk, to explore the use of Generative AI for ecommerce help desks, what you can rely on AI to do and, perhaps just as important, when not to deploy AI.
Ray argues that most help desk staff spend the majority of their day answering questions which require very little skill and can be easily handled by Generative AI, such as the eternal WISMO (Where is my order) queries that every ecommerce business is inundated with. Handing these questions off to AI enables more effective use of staff to deal with the business specific questions and the vital pre-sales questions without having to deal with logistics issues.
Watch the video to discover just how much of your support can benefit from Generative AI, why it is immensely impressive for cross border trade, why AI once offered to send a customer a new car and how to ensure it doesn’t make similar promises for your business!
