Solution

Wipro built a set of customer-service accelerators on IBM watsonx.ai to automate and augment common contact-center tasks. The offering includes email-based self-service for routine queries, intelligent call routing based on early interactions, and real-time assistance to help agents resolve issues faster. Watsonx.ai serves as the generative AI and model-development layer, allowing subject matter experts to train, validate, tune and deploy models for different service scenarios. In Wipro’s architecture, inbound emails and calls are first classified by AI, low-complexity issues are automated where possible, and more nuanced interactions are passed to agents with additional context and guidance. This pattern reduces manual handling, lowers call transfers and helps contact-center operators improve both customer experience and operating efficiency while tailoring the solution to specific enterprise environments.

Data flow

Customer emails and calls are classified by watsonx.ai-powered models, which automate routine responses, route interactions to the right queues and provide agents with contextual assistance for more complex cases.
