Many organizations have integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into the contact center in a number of ways, but OpenAI, a leading AI research laboratory, has the potential to revolutionize the contact center—again.

In a recent announcement, 8x8 introduced a number of innovative AI-driven platform enhancements to transform customer engagement. Among these announcements was an 8x8 platform integration with OpenAI Whisper for the Quality Management, Speech Analytics and Conversation IQ solutions,bringing superior transcription and translation capabilities.

OpenAI boasts industry-leading transcription and translation accuracy, with a transcription accuracy rate of higher than 85% for the most common languages and support for over 50 languages across the platform. This opens up opportunities to help 8x8 users to better understand their customers, provide better customer service experiences, and offer more prescriptive coaching to their agents, resulting in improved customer and agent experiences across the board.

Looking to the future at 8x8, OpenAI has the potential to transform contact center operations even further. For example, as natural language processing technology improves, chatbots powered by OpenAI could be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations with customers and analyze customer data in even greater detail, leading to more successful sales and higher customer satisfaction.

By harnessing the power of AI, 8x8 can enhance customer interactions, improve efficiency, and provide more personalized services. And this is just the beginning, as advancements in AI technology will continue to evolve, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in the years to come.
