“While our Virtual Financial Assistant is always learning and increasing the number of questions and requests it can answer and process, there are always certain situations where transitioning to a live agent for further assistance ensures the best experience and meets consumer preferences,” states Rob Guilfoyle, Vice President, AI Products for Envestnet/Co-Founder of Abe.ai. “This partnership allows customers of financial institutions to avoid the typical frustration of switching communications channels, reauthenticating and again providing details regarding their request, delivering the best experience possible.”
“The ability for consumers to escalate to a human through our digital customer engagement platform is just what consumers are requesting,” says Jed Taylor, CEO of POPi/o. Taylor continues, “Recent industry data and research suggest that dead-end customer journeys are a major factor for consumers to leave their current financial institution. A frictionless experience is what they are seeking. This strategic partnership with Abe.ai connects the dots digitally by providing options for consumers to choose their path of engagement. It’s another great step forward in building a world class digital customer engagement platform for financial institutions.”
