Frequently asked questions

What is AI Agent Assist?

AI Agent Assist is a real-time intelligence tool that listens to live customer conversations and helps contact center agents respond faster, stay compliant, and reduce errors. It surfaces relevant knowledge, suggests next-best actions, and automates after-call work, so agents focus on the customer instead of searching through systems or documenting calls.

How does Exotel's Agent Assist work?

Exotel's AI Agent Assist works in four steps: 1. It listens to live calls and chats in real time. 2. It analyzes intent, sentiment, and conversation context using generative AI. 3. It surfaces relevant knowledge base articles, SOPs, and next-best actions on the agent's screen. 4. After the call, it auto-generates summaries and suggests disposition codes. The entire flow happens during the conversation, with no delay or manual lookup required.

What's the difference between Agent Assist and an AI chatbot or voicebot?

A chatbot or voicebot replaces the agent by handling conversations end-to-end. Agent Assist works alongside the human agent, providing real-time guidance, knowledge, and recommendations during the conversation. The customer still talks to a human, but the agent is supported by AI in the background, making responses faster, more accurate, and more consistent.

What are the benefits of using AI Agent Assist?

Key benefits include: 1. Up to 10% reduction in Average Handle Time (AHT) 2. Faster ramp-up for new agents 3. Higher first-call resolution rates 4. Reduced compliance risk through real-time prompts 5. Automated call summaries and after-call work 6. Consistent customer experience across agents and shifts 7. Lower training and supervision costs

How does Agent Assist reduce Average Handle Time (AHT)?

Agent Assist reduces AHT by eliminating the time agents spend searching for information, navigating tools, or documenting interactions. It surfaces the right answer in real time, suggests next-best responses, and auto-generates call summaries, removing the "let me check on that" moments and shrinking after-call work, often cutting AHT by 10% or more.

Which industries benefit most from AI Agent Assist?

gent Assist is built for high-volume, high-stakes environments where speed, accuracy, and compliance matter. The biggest impact is seen in: 1. Banking & Financial Services: KYC, eligibility, and compliant sales conversations 2. Healthcare: Insurance verification, appointments, patient care 3. Logistics & Supply Chain: Order tracking, delays, returns 4. Retail & eCommerce: Pre-purchase support and post-sale care 5. BPOs and Contact Center Outsourcers: Multi-client SOP handling and faster agent ramp-up

Does Agent Assist replace human agents?

No. Agent Assist is designed to make human agents more effective, not replace them. The AI provides suggestions, but agents always remain in control. They can accept, edit, or override AI recommendations in real time, ensuring conversations stay accurate, empathetic, and aligned with customer needs.

Is AI Agent Assist secure and compliant?

Yes. Exotel's AI Agent Assist is built with enterprise-grade security, data masking, and compliance controls at the core. It supports adherence to industry regulations including PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, making it suitable for regulated industries like BFSI, healthcare, and insurance.

Can Agent Assist integrate with my existing CRM and contact center tools?

Yes. Exotel's AI Agent Assist comes with pre-built integrations for major CRMs, contact center platforms, knowledge bases, and enterprise data sources. This means AI guidance is grounded in your real business context, customer history, and policies, without engineering effort.

How quickly can we deploy Agent Assist?

Exotel's AI Agent Assist is built for fast, self-serve deployment. Operations teams can upload documents, configure the AI, and map it to agent queues without writing code or waiting on engineering. Most enterprises go live within days to a few weeks, depending on integration complexity.
