Voice assistant integration

Introduction

Natural Language Processing or NLP is changing the face of the telecommunications sector and helping the interactions between users and devices to become easier and more effective. This has been made possible by the use of NLP in voice assistants which have made the interactions between consumers and devices easier and more efficient. Some of the popular voice assistants that are available in the market include Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple’s Siri and these voice assistants incorporate NLP AI to listen and act on commands that are provided by the users. In the telecommunications sector, NLP AI has found its application in improving the interactions between customers and companies as well as improving the internal processes and providing the customers with tailored experiences.

Challenges

There are however some challenges that have to be addressed in the telecommunications industry for the potential of NLP AI to be realized. The first one is that understanding human language as it is, in its complexity, is not an easy task for AI. Different factors such as accents, dialects, slangs, and incorrect grammars are some of the factors that can lead to confusion. Second, there are issues of privacy and security since people’s conversations are sensitive. This is a major challenge as it relates to the misuse or leaking of conversations. Third, implementation of NLP AI as an addition to current systems is a process that can be complicated and costly. Fourth, there is the issue of maintaining the integrity of the AI as it is a dynamically evolving technology which means that the models have to be updated on a regular basis.

AI Solutions

These challenges are being addressed by AI solutions. In order to comprehend the language variations, the state of the art deep learning algorithms are employed which are trained on vast number of voice samples. To ensure privacy and security, encryption techniques have been enhanced and data handling procedures have been made strict. To integrate, AI-as-a-Service platforms are being provided through which AI capabilities can be easily incorporated into the current systems. To make sure that the system is always up to date, continuous learning models are being created which are capable of learning from the new data. Some of the examples include IBM that provides cloud based NLP services such as sentiment analysis, text classification, entity extraction among others that can be easily incorporated in any system.

Benefits

There are numerous advantages of incorporating NLP AI into voice assistants in the telecommunication sector. First, it enhances the level of customer satisfaction through availability and timely responses. Second, it minimizes costs by performing normal functions automatically. Third, it improves the user experience through more interactive solutions. Fourth, it gets a wealth of information from the conversations that can be analyzed to enhance services and products. Fifth, it optimises the use of resources as human agents are not bogged down by repetitive tasks.

Return on Investment

Implementing NLP AI in voice assistants in the telecommunications sector can provide a high return on investment (ROI). A study by Accenture states that companies that have adopted AI in customer service have noticed improvements in efficiency, which can range from 40% to 60%. In addition, Juniper Research has estimated that the use of chatbots will cut costs by more than $8 billion per year by 2023. The return on investment is not only limited to the cost reductions but also includes other benefits such as increase in customer satisfaction, boost in sales, and improvement of the company’s image.
