How does AI differentiate between different types of inquiries?

AI uses machine learning models trained on historical inquiries to recognize patterns and context.

What happens if the AI cannot identify a suitable department?

In such cases, the inquiry can be routed to a predefined fallback team for manual handling.

Can AI routing be customized as per our department needs?

Yes, the AI system can be tailored to match your specific departmental inquiry requirements.
