What AI should (and shouldn’t) automate
Automate repeatable, well‑bounded intents. Keep bots away from edge‑case resolution and emotional scenarios. Always design for graceful escalation.
The 7 high‑impact workflows
- Bill payment & reminders: authenticate, accept payment, send receipt.
- Order/status lookups: fetch CRM status; notify delays proactively.
- Appointment booking: check calendars; reschedule with confirmations.
- KYC/verification: guided capture; real‑time checks; privacy prompts.
- Policy/plan renewals: explain options; collect consent; process.
- Outage advisories: detect widespread issues; broadcast updates; triage tickets.
- Feedback/NPS: post‑interaction surveys; route detractors to a save team.
Bot→agent handover customers love
- Pass intent, transcript, authentication state, and disposition.
- Play whisper notes to the agent.
- Let agents “rewind” the bot segment to avoid repeated questions.
Measuring impact

Guardrails you need
Confidence thresholds, clear escalation rules, PII redaction, and documented consent. Keep NLU models fresh with recent transcripts.
