Rules

The Rules engine within AI Studio allows you to define custom rules that monitor live customer interactions for specific keywords and phrases. When these keywords or phrases are detected, the engine automatically triggers helpful actions or suggestions to assist agents in real time.

The engine is powered by the Realtime Insights Orchestrator (RTI), which monitors live interactions, detects defined keywords, phrases, or conditions, triggers relevant actions or suggestions, and delivers them to the agent through the Copilot interface.

The Rules engine offers several key benefits that enhance its usability and effectiveness. It is customizable, allowing tenants to define their own rules and actions based on specific business needs. The engine is highly flexible, supporting a wide range of triggers and responses to suit various interaction scenarios. It is also integrated seamlessly with other Copilot for Agents features such as Real-time Summary, Sentiment Analysis, and AutoSummary, ensuring a unified experience. Lastly, the engine is scalable, built to adapt to evolving business requirements and diverse interaction types across different industries.
