  • Patent number: 11677875
    Abstract: Disclosed implementations use automated transcription and intent detection and an AI model to evaluate interactions between an agent and a customer within a call center environment. The evaluation flow used for manual evaluations is leveraged so that the evaluators can correct the AI evaluations when appropriate. Based on such corrections, the AI model can be retrained to accommodate specifics of the business and center—resulting in more confidence in the AI model over time.

  • Patent number: 10897538
    Abstract: The graphical programming call router features a rich library of powerful and easy-to-use components that administrators can use to seamlessly drop in contact center actions such as data dips, complex interactive voice responses (“IVRs”) and call recordings, among many others. This makes it easy to visualize the exact structure and outcome of any call flow. The graphical programming call router also offers granular queue management functionality so you can get specific around call prioritization, wait time and time-based actions on virtual queues.

  • Patent number: 10887463
    Abstract: A system is provided that employs a multi-dimensional presence model to manage routing of interaction requests from customers to available agents over available omni-channels in contact center(s). The multi-dimensional presence model employs multiple model states that define availability and capacity for a given agent or class of agents, including, but not limited to, an availability state of the agent, as well as occupancy, activity, device, and channel states to which a routing engine in the contact center can effectively route requested interactions of a customer with an agent. A capacity manager is also disclosed that can be used to facilitate the configuring of the multi-dimensional presence model for a given agent or class of agents.

  • Patent number: 10866794
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for automatically providing access to multiple user accounts associated with an enterprise account based on a single install request. In so doing, the disclosed systems can rapidly and automatically integrate a developer system with the enterprise account. For example, the disclosed systems can, for a requested application created by a developer system, determine application ID and authentication credential pairs unique to each user account that enable secure, independent access to the requested application for each user account. In addition, the disclosed systems can provide such access to the requested application on user devices through the associated user accounts without users having to separately login to the requested application. Further, the disclosed systems can handle access changes on an individual user account basis while maintaining cross-system synchronization.

  • Patent number: 10824978
    Abstract: In one embodiment, one or more performance metrics for communication queues are monitored. The performance metrics may include metrics such as wait time, abandonment rate, and customer survey scores. Communications are retrieved from the queues and provided to agents based on rules associated with each queue. When a monitored performance metric for a queue falls below a threshold, the system determines one or more attributes of the rule associated with the queue that could be changed or removed to improve the performance metric. The determined attributes may be made based on the number of agents that will be available to handle communications from the queue after the attributes are changed, and historical performance metric data collected about the queue and agents that handled communications for the queue. The proposed changes to the rule may be presented to an administrator who may either accept or reject the proposed changes.

  • Patent number: 10812655
    Abstract: A Virtual agent that is a fully automated computer software solution that can engage with real people, customers, clients and even other agents. Virtual agents have personality with animation and engage with the customer via text or voice or a combination of both as an actual person. Virtual agents are able to answer customer questions and provide information to address their issues. Virtual agents transfer calls to live agents if they cannot address customer issues.

  • Patent number: 10812659
    Abstract: Optimizing a number pool for dynamic number insertion (DNI) used for call attribution is achieved by considering physical characteristics of the DNI number assigned to a specific channel versus characteristics of consumers within that channel—such as by identifying more optimum DNI number characteristics and modifying a DNI number pool based on the more optimum DNI number characteristics—in order to make more optimized DNI number assignments.

  • Patent number: 10708426
    Abstract: A system provides an interface within a CRM system that allows a user to select a routing option for a contact (e.g., phone number) based on a specified CRM data object by allowing a data dip into the CRM database. The system then provides the CRM data and the selected routing option to the communications management system where the communications management system updates a routing state machine and activates the selected routing option for the contact.
