Our consultation with 20 of Australia’s top-tier organizations reveals the three key priorities for automation in customer service are enabling technology, meaningful strategic direction and the ability to iterate and scale-up.

With 57% of companies either planning, piloting, or already using a chatbot, and 63% of customers willing to try these types of service interactions, there’s no doubt the movement toward automation has momentum.

The cost of a quick-fix without the right scope can have dire consequences, with cautionary tales from Boost Juice and Microsoft making the headlines recently.

  • Designing an effective logic engine
  • Integrating bots into social care tools
  • Creating a seamless Bot to human handover
