Project Overview
"Humana Inc. has deployed artificial intelligence software trained to detect conversational cues, to coach call-center agents and supervisors, in real-time, when calls with customers are going awry.
The software, built with AI tools from Cogito Corp., can, for example, recognize increasing agitation by “listening” for markers such as a steady rise in the pitch of a customer’s voice or instances of a customer and an agent talking over each other. The digital coach, called Cogito Dialog, will then send an electronic alert, such as “speaking quickly” or “frequent overlaps,” to prompt the agent to change technique.
As members call in to its customer service centers, Humana’s AI tool listens for signals of consumer frustration, such as a consumer’s elevated tone of voice or instances of the representative and the member talking over one another, according to a Wall Street Journal article. The AI bot, Cogito Dialog, then delivers instant feedback for the customer service agent to alter his or her strategy while on the phone."
