Power Virtual Agents
Empower organizations to easily create powerful bots using a guided, no-code graphical
interface without the need for data scientists or developers. They address many of the
major issues with bot building by eliminating the gap between the subject matter experts
and the development teams building bots.
Some of the things you can do with Power Virtual Agents:
Empower your teams
by allowing them to easily build
bots themselves without needing
intermediaries, or coding, or AI
expertise.
Reduce costs
by easily automating common
inquiries and freeing human agent
time to deal with more complex
issues.
Improve customer satisfaction
by allowing customers to self-help
and resolves issues quickly 24/7
using rich personalized bot
conversations.
