Converge ICT Solutions Inc., a broadband provider, plans to construct one of the Philippines’ first generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered call centers.

Converge is working with the nation’s largest software company, Salesforce, to build a contact center that leverages generative AI to address customer issues.

The facility — which will be the first of its kind in the Philippines — should already be operating by the latter part of 2024.

New contact center to operate on generative AI

According to Converge, Salesforce will supply the necessary technologies for the new contact center to be able to operate on generative AI.

The facility will specifically use Salesforce advancements, Einstein and Einstein 1 Platform, to enhance Converge clients’ digital experiences, both enterprise and residential.

Salesforce revealed the introduction of its Einstein 1 Platform in September. Businesses may create new customer experiences by integrating their data with AI apps thanks to technology.

Converge may leverage the Einstein 1 Platform to boost customer support team productivity by relying on generative AI to generate timely and accurate analytics.

For instance, the Einstein 1 Platform can offer quick answers to commonly requested queries together with bots to answer basic inquiries.

To expedite efforts to digitize the business and encourage self-service, Converge also intends to make the most of the Einstein 1 Platform, which will shorten the time it takes to settle problems

Jesus Romero, chief operations officer of Converge, stated that the company is making investments in generative AI to stay up with the automation trend in the market.

Prior to this announcement, Converge had only used AI for backend processes, but they soon recognized that AI could also be used to engage customers.
