With this new Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) Professional Package, customers of Verint’s customer engagement cloud platform can eliminate the manual work of data entry by allowing for the rapid processing of unstructured real-world conversational data, which it then categorizes, Verint said. Once these ideas are categorized, non-technical users can then drag and drop them into the IVA for testing and deployment without requiring data expertise, the company added. Benefits include the ability to turn conversation data into automated self-service, continuously improve automation with conversation data and insights, and measure return on investment, Verint added.

Clarabridge Debuts AI-Augmented Quality Management Functionality

Clarabridge this week announced QM updates for its customer experience management platform.

With this update, Clarabridge provides AI-based categorization and scoring of agent interactions, relying on its natural language understanding (NLU) algorithms to detect “effort, empathy, and emotions,” he said. Should the algorithms detect violations or risk, a notification is sent automatically, Clarabridge said.
