Types of AI
The product of over 60 years of research, there are now dozens of types of AI.
From medical imaging to self driving cars, e-commerce recommendation engines, smart home speakers, research tools and now human-level text, speech, image and video. The latter is made possible by the creation of Large Language Models that encompass the entirety of knowledge on the Internet coupled with an uncanny ability to generate artwork
and natural language conversations in any human style required, with flair. There are almost infinite possibilities.
Our collaboration with Liverpool University and the LCR4 programme keeps us at the forefront of AI application.
We developed a service framework that links different types of organisation/function with the best and most appropriate AI apps available.
Benefits of Generative AI
Incorporating AI into your service operations can bring numerous advantages.
* Increased productivity and reduced costs: AI can automate tasks currently performed by overworked employees.
It can create optimized work plans based on staff availability, reducing the time spent on scheduling and reporting.
Then it can update these plans in real-time when absences occur.
* Exciting changes and increased innovation: AI can generate ideas and solutions rapidly, enabling you to stay ahead and meet customer expectations.
Imagine a comprehensive strategy document that builds on your current strengths, knowledge of all your competitors, and every published customer survey in existence,
all prepared within minutes instead of days, to kickstart your analysis.
Further benefits of AI
* Enhanced customer experience: more personalized and timely customer service, leading to greater customer loyalty. For example,
AI can produce real-time responses to customer enquiries, reducing the time spent on routine interactions. It can also generate
targeted sales offers based on customer data and the sentiment
in the current interaction, leading to higher conversion rates.
Employ AI wisely and your people will be diverted from admin to more vital tasks. You could see a 30% increase in operational efficiency and a 20% improvement in customer experience [according to McKinsey and Accenture research].
