Customer Support with AI Integration

"BT Group has integrated Sprinklr's unified customer experience platform, meaning when a customer is seeking support, the platform can draw on BT Group’s data to provide a personalised, accurate response," the British telecommunications company said on December 12.

According to BT Group, the platform, which powers EE's virtual assistant Aimee, enables conversational AI for real-time chat, reducing dependency on human support for routine queries. For instance, Aimee's travel support feature has cut online chat demand by 50 percent, allowing guides to focus on complex issues.

AI-Driven Billing Support

Billing support has also improved, with generative AI providing clear explanations of charges, enhancing transparency and customer satisfaction.

"Another place it is making a difference is in billing support, where generative AI provides detailed explanations of billing charges, enhancing transparency and customer satisfaction," BT said.

Aimee now handles around 60,000 conversations per week—double the volume from two years ago—demonstrating rapid adoption. Rich media features like product cards and carousels further elevate customer engagement. Over 30 distinct customer experiences have been introduced, with more in development. Aimee's use has risen 51 percent year on year, BT highlighted.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, BT Group plans to expand its use of generative AI to further enhance customer support. Upcoming features include AI-driven automated summaries of interactions and real-time support for service agents, positioning Aimee as a virtual AI assistant to improve efficiency and customer outcomes.

Privacy and Security

To ensure privacy and security, BT Group said it hosts AI capabilities on a private cloud, with safeguards in place to prevent misuse. The platform's LLM-agnostic architecture selects the best models for each use case, and future plans include integration with BT Group's GenAI Gateway.

BT Group's data policies are managed by its internal data platform, Data Fabric, ensuring the company maintains control over its data while leveraging Sprinklr's AI capabilities.
