Configure Copilot for Agents for Email Sentiment

You can use NiCE CXone GenAI Prompts to control the prompt that Copilot for Agents uses to determine customer sentiment during email interactions.

Email Sentiment analyzes the ongoing email interaction and displays the customer's current sentiment to the agent. This helps the agent understand the customer's tone and respond appropriately as the interaction progresses.

This lets you control the length, language, and instructions of the sentiment. Once you have completed your prompt configuration, you can publish the prompt to make it available for selection within the Copilot for Agents profile on the Copilot for Agents Config page.

All users can now open the LLM Model dropdown. Users with an Prompt Editor Advanced license can select any model in the list; other users are limited to standard models. The list itself is grouped by standard and premium models, with models verified by NiCE CXone shown first and the rest listed alphabetically.

NiCE Default is available as an LLM Model option. It represents the model NiCE CXone currently recommends for that specific prompt type. If a prompt template only supports one model, NiCE Default is the only option shown and the dropdown is disabled. If a template supports multiple models, NiCE Default appears alongside them as a selectable choice.

If the LLM model currently selected for a profile is scheduled for retirement, NiCE CXone displays a warning next to the LLM Model dropdown stating that the model will retire in a set number of days and prompting you to update to a supported model.

When a model you use is closer to its retirement date, NiCE CXone also displays an LLM Update dialog when you open the affected profile. The dialog states the date the model switches to retention mode, after which the model is no longer accessible, and reminds you to update the LLM and test and publish all affected profiles before that date. Select Don't show this message again to suppress the dialog for that profile, or click OK to close it.

If a model reaches its retirement date and you have not selected a different model, NiCE CXone automatically switches the profile to NiCE Default. Test and publish the profile after this switch to confirm the output still meets your requirements.

   Field	Details
   Who is the contact center agent?	A brief description of the agents handling the interaction. For example, Customer service assistant for the business Classics, Inc.. This setting informs the generative AI prompt, but it doesn't directly influence the generated output. If you want to influence the output sentiment text, include written details in the Instructions field. For example, When referencing the agent, use the word "Associate".
   Who is the customer?	A brief description of the person being helped. For example, Classics, Inc. customer. This setting informs the generative AI prompt, but it doesn't directly influence the generated output. If you want to influence the output sentiment text, include written details in the Instructions field. For example, When referencing the customer, use the word "Consumer".
   What is the max length for the sentiment?	The maximum length of the sentiment between three options:  Short (1 - 25) words Medium (26 - 40) words Long (41 - 60) words Extra Long (61 - 80) words Extended Long (81 - 100) words

   What are the instructions for the sentiment	The information you want the sentiment to include and the format you want it in. Important: The What is the language of the sentiment? field only affects the language of the generated sentiment. You must enter these instructions in English. For example:  Systematically review the contact center transcript and identify key indicators of positive, neutral, and negative sentiment, consider the contextual flow, and determine the underlying reason for the sentiment. Synthesize these observations to conclude the overall sentiment, employing a clear, step-by-step Chain of Thought methodology.
