    Key Features

    • Complaint Case Intake Agent: Collects essential complaint information from customers, such as details, nature of the complaint, and documentation, to initiate resolution. This agent operates with Virtual Agent and is separate from the AI workflow.
    • Complaint Case Triage Agent: Categorizes cases by category, subcategory, and priority. It analyzes customer tone, sentiment, and speech patterns to assess frustration levels and prioritize cases effectively.
    • Complaint Case Research Agent: Supports human agents by retrieving relevant knowledge base articles, similar cases, and additional system information to provide accurate answers and create case tasks based on context.
    • Complaint Case Summarization Skill: Generates structured summaries highlighting key complaint context such as involved products, locations, parties, actions taken, and SLA urgency. This helps agents quickly grasp the case without reading full activity streams, useful during intake review, escalations, handoffs, or reengagements.
    • Agentic Workflow: Coordinates the systematic analysis and optimal routing of complaint cases, ensuring smooth transitions between specialized AI sub-agents to maximize efficiency and resolution quality.
