Background | The Era Where "Simply Increasing Staff" No Longer Solves Contact Center Problems
Japanese contact centers are grappling with severe issues including difficulty in recruitment, high training burdens, high turnover rates, constraints on night and holiday support, and the increasing load of post-processing tasks such as recording, summarizing, and inputting information after customer inquiries.
To maintain the quality of customer service while reducing the burden on the front line, it is necessary not just to increase personnel, but to redesign the entire operational model, encompassing everything from customer touchpoints to post-processing, knowledge integration, and task execution.
Jurin AI's Proposal: "Full Automation" and "AI-BPO"
Jurin AI offers an AI agent platform that supports multiple customer touchpoints, including phone, email, chat, LINE, and web chat.
It goes beyond mere FAQ responses and initial greetings, providing end-to-end support for understanding inquiry content, knowledge referencing, recording, summarizing, post-processing, integration with internal systems, and escalation to human agents.
Furthermore, in addition to offering it as a SaaS, Jurin AI is exploring the implementation of AI-powered BPO, or "AI-BPO," aiming to establish a new contact center operational model that integrates technology and operations.
From "Answering AI" to "Business-Driving AI Agents"
Responding to inquiries does not end with just providing an answer.
Many processes exist before and after, such as checking customer information, reviewing history, searching internal knowledge bases, collaborating with relevant departments, and recording in CRM.
Jurin AI aims to reduce the burden on the front line by having AI agents comprehensively support these pre- and post-processes, creating an environment where humans can focus on more sophisticated decision-making and designing customer experiences.
Comment from Representative Director CEO Rise Ooi
Japanese contact centers have long supported high-quality and meticulous customer service. However, structural challenges that cannot be resolved solely by the efforts of the front line, such as labor shortages, training burdens, high turnover rates, the difficulty of 24-hour support, and heavy post-processing loads, have become evident.
Jurin AI's goal is not just to automate a portion of inquiries. It is to create an environment where AI agents comprehensively support everything from customer touchpoints to post-processing, knowledge integration, and task execution, allowing humans to concentrate on higher-level judgments and designing customer experiences.
We are deeply honored to have been featured in "CallCenter Japan," a specialized media in the contact center/CX domain. We will continue to provide practical solutions for AI implementation rooted in real-world operations.
