THE COMM100 AI PLATFORM

How will it help?

Frees up agents

Higher education chatbots answer FAQs and process common requests giving support staff time to handle more complex or sensitive queries.

Speeds resolution

Chatbots gather student information and pass off the who, what, where, when, and why to an agent. With all the relevant info in front of them, agents quickly resolve queries.

Reduces wait times

Bots can handle an unlimited amount of chats simultaneously. They also deliver responses more quickly than humans.

Tracks conversations

Focus on the problem at hand without having to search across channels. See the complete student history while interacting in real time. Conversations that start on one channel can be finished on another without losing the thread.

Optimizes segmentation

Prioritize and effectively track different student groups based on profiles you create within your Comm100 platform.

“Our students are mostly 17, 18 or 19 years old, and they naturally find live chat very easy to use.

It’s also very quick for them – they can hop on a chat, ask us a question, and have their answer in a minute – all from their mobile device”

— Derek Gaucher, Coordinator of IT Solutions, Dawson College

GOOD FOR STUDENTS. AWESOME FOR AGENTS.

Welcoming students across departments.
Across channels.

88% students want the option of using different support channels

Quit hunting for answers:

Agent Assist draws on your existing knowledge resources to suggest answers to agents in real time.

Know exactly what to work on:

Set SLAs for response and resolution times so no conversation falls through the cracks.

Eliminate drudge work:

Automate repetitive workflows using pre-built trigger actions.

Stop duplicate effort:

Every conversation is assigned, and discussions about similar topics can be merged.

Say goodbye to screen toggling:
