Toil, Labor Market Shortages, and Margin Pressure—How Generative AI Can Now Fill the Empty Seats in the Contact Center

The contact center has access to the greatest technology ever known—the best software, coaching tools, motivation & gamification technologies. Operationally, the contact center offers employees unprecedented flexibility in terms of scheduling, WFH, and competitive salaries.

And yet, agent absenteeism and attrition is at an all-time high. The cost to serve customers is also at an all-time high. What if AI is finally ready to ease the burden by filling those empty seats with generative agent use cases.

Meet the Speakers

Dan will be joined by Santiago de Buen, ASAPP’s Product Manager. Santiago will also participate in a panel discussion to share how GenerativeAgent—a fully conversational AI voice and chat platform—is changing contact centers and improving human-technology interactions.
