Let’s proceed the journey I began in my first weblog about Cisco, AI and automation. In it, I targeted on our zero-touch RMA notification instrument. Now we’ll discover Webex Chat Assistant, our AI-based conversational instrument.
The Collective Intelligence of Webex Chat Assistant
I discussed in ‘Machines as “Considering” Companions’ that yearly, Cisco has 16 million buyer exchanges. That huge quantity of knowledge is fodder for our AI crucible. From it, we cast Webex Chat Assistant, merging know-how and repair improvements.
Join with it for assist, day or night time. You get focused solutions and make it smarter and sooner… for you. The query of actual versus synthetic intelligence is moot, as Heinlein’s rhetoric from The Variety of the Beast highlights: “Who’s extra actual? Homer or Ulysses? Shakespeare or Hamlet? Burroughs or Tarzan?” We’re the co-creators. That is our collective intelligence. There’s nothing “synthetic” about that. Simply a simple, totally different solution to discover quick solutions.

Webex Chat Assistant was additionally the pure resolution for purchasers who’ve instructed us that generally they’d relatively repair an issue than open a help case. So, to create a customer support expertise as superior as working with the Cisco TAC, we designed it with two themes in thoughts: cut back friction and fail quick.
Let me clarify.
Scale back Friction and Fail Quick
To cut back friction, we targeted on comprehension, pace, and relevancy. First, we checked out that AI crucible and requested ourselves your questions. Turnkey questions, corresponding to, “How do I modify my digital background?” Extra concerned questions, corresponding to, “How do I allow single sign-on certificates expiration alert notifications?” We answered them in dozens of how to bake the vagaries of human language, and comprehension, into your AI expertise to create a “actual” Cisco TAC expertise. Right this moment Webex Chat Assistant “speaks” in English. We’re now programming in extra languages. Our objective is to make Webex Chat Assistant as multi-lingual because the Cisco TAC.
Subsequent is pace. Solutions come quick, as quick as you possibly can sort. They’re additionally edited and optimized for chat, so that they’re as fast to learn as obtain. Conversations with Webex Chat Assistant final about 5 minutes. The time saved in comparison with a conventional case can add up as you utilize it an increasing number of.
Lastly, there’s relevancy. In our final quarter, we delivered precise match solutions for 35 p.c of your queries utilizing guided, follow-up questions that pinpoint exact responses. We launched with 50 guided query units, and now we’ve authored lots of and counting, including extra quarterly as you, our know-how, and market circumstances evolve.

for 35 p.c of your queries.
“No worker makes the identical mistake twice.”
Like Asimov’s robotics credo from“I, Robotic”, Webex Chat Assistant is designed to fail quick. It “is aware of” when to step apart and join you with a Cisco TAC engineer. And right here’s a important element: None of your preliminary exchanges are misplaced within the ether. All particulars are logged and tagged so your engineer enters the dialog totally knowledgeable by an AI-to-human heat handoff in a seamless transition. Once more, who or what a part of that whole expertise was extra, or much less, actual?
As my summer time studying creator Isaac Asimov stated, “There may be not a discovery in science, nevertheless revolutionary, nevertheless glowing with perception, that doesn’t come up out of what went earlier than.” Watch this area to find, you probably have not already, our Digital TAC engineer. With it, we’re doubling down on pure AI communication and collaboration on much more complicated matters that can assist you higher handle your IT, time, and bandwidth challenges.
