Automation has reduced large call centers and provides real-time outbound support for patients
Kore.ai is a low-code platform, and you do not necessarily have to be an expert in artificial intelligence or generative AI to use this platform. However, if you have that experience, it will be a valuable add-on. The main advantage is that it has almost every kind of plugin available to use, whether for live agents or if you want to use it as a call center. You have real-time capabilities and the most useful plugins available, with almost every kind of model available with configurations. We can configure the ML models and train them. The platform is very user-friendly with explanatory features and a great UI. One significant feature is the live testing platform with Kore.ai. When you are creating a workflow, you have an interactive, real-time testing platform that reflects every change you make. This makes it easy to debug errors or add new features. Additionally, Kore.ai has many different tools and platforms that cater to different needs, whether for a call center, normal workflow, or machine learning workflow, which is really useful. Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually. A low-code platform always helps, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development. It was particularly helpful for our team that we could create a POC and get that project into production. Kore.ai helped our team build a generative AI outbound calling chatbot, and it truly helped our customers. If you have a hospital with a thousand employees in a call center, you might consider outsourcing. However, with Kore.ai's outbound calling capabilities, you can eliminate the outsourcing part. You do not need a thousand call center employees. You can accomplish this through automation with just one or two employees if people need to switch to agents. This represented a significant cost reduction.

Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by being a big money saver because before having our chatbot, the use case was that every time some of our customers needed help, they used to call a number."
"Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development."
"The best feature of Kore.ai is that it is a cost-saving tool because when we use IVR, we have to assign agents at the backend, but using Kore.ai, we can automate all of those functions."
"The positive impacts we have seen include expected reductions in average handle time, which is typically around 40 to 50 percent for any BFSI industry use case."
"Kore.ai helped us integrate a lot through documentation and trial and error, making it straightforward to integrate overall, resulting in a very good experience for first-timers."
"Compared to other tools, Kore.ai provides a well-organized chatbot experience that others do not offer."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization because we are implementors, and I would say that approximately 80% of our income comes from developed projects with Kore.ai."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by helping us build intelligent chatbots and incorporating voice agents, enabling various clients to adopt these solutions, which have been revolutionary for their businesses."
"The technical support provided for all the solutions from Pega is of the same quality since they have their own internal teams and the same mechanisms, which are good for dealing with issues of different users."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is case management and different configurations."
"The product is scalable. It works efficiently for changing existing features."
"It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side, and although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information with real-time information available."
"Pega Customer Service is scalable."
 

Cons

"Customer support is okay, I guess. We get what we want from them whenever there is an issue or something, but sometimes when we had issues, it was delayed a lot."
"I rated Kore.ai eight out of ten because of the potential for these additional improvements."
"One thing I have learned is the unpredictability of LLMs and how buggy Kore.ai is as a software."
"I would suggest incorporating pre-recorded videos in the tutorials and enhancing the documentation area to make it more user-friendly."
"This is a regret for me."
"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"Customer support is where Kore.ai has significant room for improvement. Post-implementation support is a particularly discouraging aspect for me."
"The two points I deduct relate to the integrations, which were not as extensive as I initially expected."
"The licensing cost could also be improved."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The only concern I have seen about the product is its prices."
"Pega JVM function needs to be improved."
"Integrating with non-Pega systems (e.g., legacy CRMs, third-party APIs) can require significant effort and custom development."
"Improvements are always required, but at this moment, the UI is the key area that is not flexible enough for us."
