Generative AI technology is revolutionizing the customer service landscape, heralding a new era characterized by modern, personalized automation and voice bot assistance, powered by advanced large language models (LLMs).
As Generative AI continues to evolve, we anticipate the coming decade will witness the dissolution of IVRs and traditional call centers, paving the way for more sophisticated customer engagement platforms.

5 key reasons LLM-powered automated message and voice options are growing in today’s call centers
