Renogy Witnesses Improvement in Customer Service with Sobot's AI Agent

Even with AI Agent Around, Humans Will Never Be Absent

Sobot believes the human touch carries the same importance as efficiency in customer service, something that can obviously only be performed by human agents. Therefore, Sobot's AI Agent AI Agent is designed to assist, not replace, human agents, and maximize efficiency in CX improvement by giving full play to their respective advantages.

"Just like Baymax, Sobot's AI Agent is also created to assist humans as a companion, not to replace humans." Chin said. "Our AI Agent will not be our ending point in our exploration of AI. While the AI Agent enhances CX, we are also developing AI Copilot and AI Analyst roles to further support human staff."
