AI Copilots have revolutionized the way we work. They have become indispensable everyday companions for enhancing productivity, creativity, and skill sets across various domains. In this blog, we’ll cover how you can create your own AI Copilot using Symbl.ai’s Nebula LLM, Nebula Embeddings, and other platform capabilities such as ASR and Trackers. 

To illustrate the process, we will focus on creating an AI Sales Copilot that is adapted to your domain and business needs. The AI Sales Copilot will automatically generate meeting notes, enrich CRM data on the go, evaluate sales reps’ performance, answer sales queries, and assist the sales team in real time during prospect calls.

Generate Meeting Notes

In the fast-paced world of sales, taking comprehensive meeting notes during client interactions can be a distracting chore. Moreover, the post-meeting process of converting scribbled notes into a format suitable for CRM entry compounds the workload. 

Having an AI Sales Copilot to automatically generate meeting notes addresses the above challenge. You have two methods to achieve this with Symbl.ai:

  1. Out of the box: As a swift and efficient solution, you can employ Symbl.ai’s prebuilt Insights UI, allowing you to generate meeting notes for your audio and video calls with minimal API calls. Powered by Symbl.ai’s Nebula LLM, Insights UI provides an intuitive interface replete with key details such as meeting summaries, action items, Q&A, objections, and sentiment analysis. Learn more from our previous blog that goes into details of Insights UI.
  2. Customization: For those who prefer a tailored approach, Nebula LLM offers flexibility. Using Nebula, just with a few prompts, you can craft meeting notes that precisely match your preferred format and style, ensuring that your notes align seamlessly with your sales process and workflows.

Enrich CRM data

Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date Sales CRM system is paramount for successful sales teams. Sales representatives are often burdened with the time-consuming task of manually updating and managing customer data resulting in incomplete and inaccurate CRM data.

Bring in your own AI Sales Copilot to automate CRM enrichment, effectively extracting vital information from sales calls about contacts within prospect companies and generate concise opportunity summaries. This automation significantly alleviates the manual effort and ensures that your CRM remains a reliable and current resource.

The following architecture diagram illustrates how you can use multiple components from Symbl.ai to automate CRM enrichment:

Evaluate Sales Performance

Evaluating the performance of sales representatives on an ongoing basis is challenging, as it involves manually tracking numerous variables, from communication skills to adherence to the sales process, which can be time-consuming and prone to biases. 

Automating the evaluation process streamlines the task, saving time and providing consistent, data-driven insights, enabling quicker identification of areas for improvement and more efficient coaching.

With Symbl.ai, you have two approaches to enable the AI Sales Copilot do automatic performance evaluations:

  1. Out of the box: Symbl.ai’s Call Score API provides a pre-configured scoring system for assessing sales reps’ performance based on predefined criteria such as Communication & Engagement, Forward Progression, Sales Process, and Question Handling. The results are also available on the pre-built Insights UI. To learn more about Call Score API, refer to our previous blog on Call Score.
  2. Customization: If the criteria or the scoring methodology of Call Scoe API does not work for you, use Nebula LLM to score your sales calls as per your custom criteria and sales process. For instance, if your organization adheres to a particular sales methodology like MEDDIC, you can craft a prompt tailored to the MEDDIC framework, resulting in a call score that aligns precisely with your unique criteria.

Sales Q/A bot

Sales representatives often grapple with delays and inefficiencies when responding to prospect inquiries. Such challenges can lead to missed opportunities, reduced customer satisfaction, and diminished chances of closing deals successfully. 

A Sales Q/A bot as part of your Copilot will serve as an everyday companion to answer all queries that sales representatives have on a day to day basis. To build a Q/A bot, the first step is to construct a knowledge base capable of efficiently addressing a myriad of prospect inquiries, spanning product information, customer interactions, internal meetings, and other pertinent data. Symbl.ai’s Embeddings API plays a pivotal role in converting this wealth of information into vectors, which in turn enables efficient semantic search as shown in the architecture diagram below: 

Vectorize domain knowledge with Nebula Embeddings

Once you have your domain knowledge available in an efficient retrieval system, employ Nebula LLM to utilize the domain knowledge when answering sales representatives’ questions. This technique is popularly known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG):

RAG with Nebula

Real-time Assistant

Building on the knowledge base that underpins the Sales Q/A bot above, the subsequent step is to infuse real-time conversations between sales representatives and prospects with this invaluable resource. 

Symbl.ai’s Trackers come into play here, capturing instances where sales representatives may require immediate assistance, such as mentions of competitors, objections, and new product questions. By querying the knowledge base in real time, the AI-driven assistant can supply instant answers, enabling sales representatives to capitalize on the crucial moment when the prospect’s attention is most engaged.

To dive deeper into how to build a real-time assistant as part of your AI Sales Copilot, refer to our detailed blog on Real Time Assist.

Conclusion

To sum it up, we’ve explored how to build an AI Sales Copilot that is tailored to suit the specific needs of your business. Each component of the Copilot can be developed independently, granting you the flexibility to begin where you find most compelling. The architectural frameworks we’ve discussed in this blog can be readily adapted to diverse use cases, spanning contact centers, support teams, and recruitment.

Symbl.ai Introduces Managed Trackers Library and Recommendations https://symbl.ai/developers/blog/symbl-ai-introduces-managed-trackers-library-and-recommendations/ Tue, 27 Sep 2022 13:47:27 +0000 https://symbl.ai/?p=26556 Symbl.ai managed trackers library and recommendations make it easier for customers to track an array of actionable insights right from the first conversation.

The post Symbl.ai Introduces Managed Trackers Library and Recommendations appeared first on Symbl.ai.

]]>

Read the official press release for the Managed Trackers Library and Recommendations here.

Trackers is a conversation intelligence feature from Symbl.ai that you can use to gather actionable insights from conversations. Using trackers, you can track characteristics such as politeness and empathy. You can also track events including mentions of positive and negative customer feedback in conversations. Symbl.ai goes beyond rudimentary text comparison and uses intent recognition to identify occurrences of trackers in conversations. 

Now we have made it even easier to get started with trackers by introducing the Managed Trackers Library: a collection of 40 trackers available out-of-the-box. To ensure that you continue to get new insights from your conversations, we have also introduced Tracker Recommendations. Symbl.ai will proactively suggest new trackers that you should use based on the conversations you process using Symbl.ai’s Async API and Streaming API.

How Trackers Work

A tracker primarily consists of a name, description, and vocabulary—a group of keywords and phrases that represent a common characteristic or event. For example, a tracker that identifies occurrences of sales objections can be named “Sales_Objections” and its vocabulary might consist of phrases such as “we do not have time”, “we do not have budget”, and “we do not have capacity”. When you process conversations using Async API and Streaming API, Symbl.ai tries to match the intent of messages in the conversation with the intent of the tracker vocabulary. When Symbl.ai successfully finds an intent-based match, it adds the detected tracker in the API response. For example, when someone says “we do not have money” in a conversation, Symbl will match it to the Sales_Objections tracker and to the contextual similar vocabulary “we do not have budget”. 

How Managed Trackers Help

Managed trackers help you get started quickly with trackers and get actionable insights right from the first conversation you process with Symbl.ai, without investing time in first creating a custom tracker from scratch. Managed trackers are well researched and benchmarked by Symbl.ai on multiple conversations specific to verticals including Sales, Contact Center, and Recruitment. There are also General category trackers that apply to all kinds of conversations. 

Along with making it easier for you to get started with trackers, managed trackers free you from the responsibility of managing and fine-tuning the trackers as you process more and more conversations. Symbl.ai will continue to refine existing managed trackers and add more trackers to the Managed Trackers Library. 

Tracker recommendations from Symbl.ai help you expand the set of trackers that you are using for your conversations. As you process conversations using Async API and Streaming API, Symbl.ai will suggest more trackers for you so that you continue to get new insights from your conversations. 

What if Managed Trackers Aren’t for Me?

If managed trackers are not applicable for your use case, you can create custom trackers. When you create a custom tracker, Symbl.ai finds a match for the custom tracker in the Managed Trackers Library and recommends the same. You can choose to select a tracker from the recommendations or continue with the custom tracker. 

All trackers—both custom and managed—are enabled by default when you process conversations using the Async and Streaming API.

Getting Started with Managed Trackers

The first step is to log into Symbl.ai’s platform and go to Trackers Management > Managed Trackers Library.  Select all or some of the managed trackers pertinent to your use case and add them to Your Trackers. Next, go to Playground or API Explorer on the platform to process conversations and view results of managed trackers detected in your conversations. Based on these results, you can customize managed trackers to include more phrases specific to your use case. 

As you process conversations, recommendations will appear on top of the “Your Trackers” page on the platform. Recommendations are based on conversations you have processed in the last thirty days. When reviewing a recommendation, you can validate the tracker phrase that was detected and messages from conversations where the phrase was detected. 

When you accept a recommendation, Symbl.ai adds the tracker to Your Trackers. When you reject a recommendation, Symbl.ai removes the recommendation from your recommendations list.
