AI in Customer Service
Tele2 noted that Taka, or the automated assistant for commercial offers, is like a digital manual or map for employees who continue to learn and develop with the help of AI every day, so that recommendations to Tele2 customers become more accurate over time.
Empowering Tele2's Employees
"There are many public statements that AI will outcompete humans in the future and that many professions will disappear, but this example from Tele2 shows well that AI can be a great assistant to an employee and help strengthen a specific function in the company - in our case, customer service," says Tele2 Latvia.
"This solution was important to us because we are developing as a multi-service company that offers more and more diverse services. Therefore, we created 'TAKA' to help employees not 'get lost' in the huge sea of products, knowing that the company's ambition is to expand the service portfolio in the future as well."
