Personalized GPT chatbots for customer service have the power not just to improve how we serve customers but to vastly accentuate customer service beyond the advantages rule-based or machine-learning model chatbots have offered to date.
In this article, we’re going to look at a few major pain points that currently constrain businesses from offering definitively next-level customer experiences and match those to some of the benefits of CustomGPT.ai.
Customer Service Challenges of 2023
Reaching the global marketplace – languages, time zones, and demand
Today’s businesses are global businesses, but without building service centers in multiple locations around the globe, it can be incredibly difficult to serve customers in their preferred language. A 2020 study revealed that 40% of global consumers wouldn’t buy from companies that didn’t offer native language support.
Rule-based and basic AI chatbots have been improving multilingual customer support, serving customers 24/7, and handling peak demands for service centers, but generative AI can do better.
Pre-ChatGPT bots can’t handle context and frustrate customers
Up until this year, chatbots have also been somewhat able to relieve customer frustrations by reducing or reducing the perception of waiting times and answering the most basic of questions. However, a surprising Gartner survey released in June 2023 revealed only 8% of customers used a chatbot in their most recent customer service experience, and of those, just 25% said they would use that chatbot a second time. Gartner says, “Despite customer service and support leaders’ growing focus on chatbots, customer use of them remains low, suggesting they don’t consistently help customers accomplish their goals.”
One of the issues with pre-GPT bots is that they struggle to understand context. When faced with a query, they search their knowledge base to offer a predefined response, but they can’t understand user intent or sentiment and other nuances, and they can’t deliver complex, natural, human-like responses.
A ChatGPT-powered chatbot uses advanced natural language processing and machine learning capabilities. Its deep learning algorithms and large language models (LLM) allow it to understand customer inquiries better.
Upskilling Human Customer Service Agents for Complex Queries
The Gartner survey, earlier this year also found that chatbots were resolving 58% of returns and cancellations but only 17% of billing disputes. Michael Rendelman, Senior Specialist, Research, in the Gartner Customer Service and Support practice, says, “Chatbots aren’t effective for all issue types.” Rendelman suggests that customers should be guided to chatbots where appropriate and to other channels when not appropriate.
What Gartner’s research illustrates is that human customer service agents will face ever more complex inquiries, the ones best handled by a human expert. Employees will handle customers at the point where they expect human support and interaction. Handling this role shift will require upskilling and development for customer service agents, but it’s an added benefit for these employees.
CustomGPT.ai: The Game-Changer for Customer Service
CustomGPT.ai creates your own ChatGPT bot with your business content in a secure, privacy-first, business-grade platform that allows you to grow your revenue through increased customer engagement.
Advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) Powered Conversations
A CustomGPT.ai bot is indexed with the content from your guides, websites, helpdesks, and more. Queries are answered with advanced large language models (LLMs) streaming AI. What this means is that you benefit from advanced natural language processing and machine learning capabilities.
Customer service conversations feature the same engagement and interactivity as generative AI ChatGPT and its competitors. A CustomGPT.ai bot understands and responds to human language more accurately and learns from every interaction to improve responses. Unlike many chatbots, a CustomGPT.ai bot can handle complex queries and provide personalized recommendations.
Your product expert – zero hallucinations
Using CustomGPT.ai, customers can interact with a chat widget on your website. Or even use a live chat option. Your bot is populated with your own company, product, and service data in an added layer that puts guardrails around ChatGPT’s data set. As a result, your CustomGPT.ai bot will only answer queries based on the information you provide and doesn’t suffer from the hallucinations and false information seen with ChatGPT to date. The more data you provide, the more accurate and capable your CustomGPT.ai bot is.
You can also tailor your CustomGPT.ai bot’s persona and instruct it to handle inquiries in certain ways. It can easily pass a customer with a complex inquiry to a human agent before the customer gets frustrated with the process.
24/7 in 93 languages
A CustomGPT.ai bot is available for inquiries at any time, 24/7, and can easily handle peaks in demand, negating the need to schedule human agents for peaks in capacity who can then be idle in quieter times.
Moreover, a CustomGPT.ai bot now supports 93 languages, enabling you to overcome language barriers, expand your global presence, and provide a next-level customer experience to anyone in the world.
CustomGPT.ai takes advantage of advanced large language models (LLMs) contextual awareness, enabling it to understand the nuances and intricacies of different languages. This results in a chatbot that delivers accurate and relevant responses tailored to the specific language and culture of your audience.
Create a Bot to Help Your Employees and Your Customers
A CustomGPT.ai bot can be such a comprehensive company and product knowledge repository that you can use it to train and support the customer service agents who are going to deal with more complex human interactions.
While your customer service agents are on the phone with customers, they too can ask your CustomGPT.ai bot questions, which it will answer in a conversational manner that can be relayed to consumers. Your human agents won’t need to wade through your guides and product features. A CustomGPT.ai bot can do that for them. Your employees will learn every time they use your chatbot, in the same engaging and conversational way, making their learning more interesting too.
