- Disputes intake via Virtual Agent
- Disputes intake via Virtual Agent enhances the customer experience by performing dispute intake with a chat bot. This can streamline the card dispute submission process for customers, and reduce workloads for live
agents.
The following figure shows the interaction between the Virtual Agent topic, the form data collector application, and Now LLM.
- The Disputes intake via Virtual Agent topic contains the logic of creating a dispute case and filling out the dispute questionnaire based on the conversation. If the answer cannot be determined from the chat responses, it will present a question in a clear and easy-to-understand way to the user. For more information, see Customize the Virtual Agent topic in Disputes intake via Virtual Agent.
- The form data collector takes the table name and view name as an input, and goes through each question on the form. While iterating over the questions, it asks Now LLM if the question is answered based on the chat history. If it is answered, it moves on to the next question. For more information, see Form Data Collector.
- Now LLM helps to infer answers from customer responses to proactively fill out fields in the record, and rephrases questions from the dispute questionnaire.
Note:Certain questions will not infer answers from Now LLM to ensure that the correct dispute category and reason code are determined from the conversation. See Bypassed questions from LLM processing for more information.
By default, all skills exist in the global domain. When you use Now Assist in a domain-separated environment, users are only able to access data in their domain. For example, if a user uses the summarization skill, Now Assist only uses material that exists in the user's domain when generating that summary. Additionally, there is no co-mingling of data for domain-separated instances when using generative AI skills. The data resides only on the instance, and the shared services used for generative AI do not persist any requests (prompts) and responses. For more information, see Domain separation in the Now Assist Admin console. (Note that global domain is not the same as global scope. For more information, see Exploring Next Experience pickers.)
