Background
As corporate digital transformation (DX) advances, the adoption of AI chatbots and inquiry management tools in customer support is accelerating. However, merely introducing tools does not lead to operational improvements. Many companies face challenges such as 'operational rules failing to keep pace,' 'inquiry handling becoming overly dependent on specific individuals,' and 'insufficient internal resources to effectively leverage AI.'
Additionally, amid declining labor populations and ongoing hiring difficulties, maintaining and improving customer satisfaction with limited staff has become a critical management challenge for many businesses.
In response to these challenges, Ingeage, provider of the communication platform 'Re:lation,' and Knit, operator of the online outsourcing service 'HELP YOU,' will jointly present at this seminar. By combining the expertise of technology and operational support professionals from the front lines, they will thoroughly explain 'real-world, actionable solutions for customer support—not just idealistic theories.'
The seminar will explore what is truly needed to sustainably implement AI in daily operations and achieve tangible results. Drawing from real-world support experiences, the speakers will introduce concrete approaches to simultaneously reduce workload and enhance customer experience.
