San Francisco, September 14th, 2023 - Gigs (gigs.com), the world's first telecom-as-a-service platform, has announced the launch of Operator (gigs.com/operator), the first conversational AI assistant for telecom. The AI tool enables any company that provides voice and data plans to assist users in self-service and resolving any query directly within a white-label chat interface, utilizing in-chat UI elements. Initial results indicate that Gigs Operator reduces customer service overhead by up to 95% with conversational sales and instant, always-on support, thus significantly improving the margins of any wireless service provider. Gigs Operator is currently in closed beta and will be publicly available in the next couple of months.
Hermann Frank, co-founder & CEO at Gigs, said, "The potential of AI in telecom is completely untapped, and we're excited to launch the first conversational AI assistant in the telecom space. Gigs Operator troubleshoots and executes speedy resolutions to any query, thereby dramatically decreasing support volume and overhead by up to 95%. It intelligently handles requests in any language, responding with a relevant help center article or escalating to your support team based on sentiment and complexity. Whether your customers want to purchase a new phone plan, update their payment method, or learn how to activate a dual SIM on their phone, no query is too complex for Operator."
With the global market for AI in telecom projected to reach $38.8 billion by 2031, AI represents the single most powerful lever in improving profitability across the telecoms sector. A study by McKinsey underscores the necessity for telecom companies to incorporate AI-powered solutions if they are to remain competitive. Particularly in customer service, AI can lower operating costs by up to 70% through task automation while simultaneously enhancing customer experiences. By leveraging advanced technologies like Gigs Operator, telecom providers can streamline processes, improve efficiency, and personalize services, leading to increased productivity, stronger customer relationships, and a competitive edge in the market.
