Also, tell us about Ozonetel’s recently launched AI-powered speech analytics dashboard for call centres. Chaitanya Chokkareddy: Being in the communication space, we mainly work on speech AI and NLP. By utilising AI, the cloud contact centre will become a harmonious blend of AI and humans working together. The AI will fill in for monotonous and repetitive tasks while humans will concentrate on tougher, more challenging tasks. Ozonetel’s recently launched Speech Analytics platform is a useful tool for both customer success and marketing teams. It helps to convert the vast, unstructured data that call centres receive on a daily basis into valuable insights. Currently, it analyses customer sentiment, conversation speed, conversation volume, and customer demographics, such as gender recognition. It can be used within call centres for quality assurance and faster monitoring. The real value will be in preventing escalations and improving overall customer satisfaction. By giving useful insights to both product development and marketing teams, it is also set to raise the total value of call centres within a business.

Using these developers can design innovative flows for their customers.
