RPA is an ideal technology to make the agent's life easier and significantly reduce average handle time. However, chatbots and voice bots optimize it even further for both the agent experience and the customer experience. By using Conversational AI together with RPA, an entire interaction can be handled instantly without human effort, reducing handle time to seconds rather than minutes.

In this Showcase idea:

• A customer has applied for a home loan and calls the bank using his mobile phone to find out the status of the loan.

• The voice bot tells the customer he has an outstanding document (a pay stub). Within the same phone conversation, the bot sends the customer a link so he can upload a photo of his pay stub.

• Once the photo is uploaded, the voice bot confirms that the file was received and that the loan application will continue to be processed.

The whole transaction happened in under 2 minutes.

By combining RPA, OCR and Conversational AI, the customer was able to express what they wanted in natural language, and the voice bot responded in a way that felt natural, while resolving the customer's inquiry quickly.
