    How would you like a scalable team of AI evaluators at your disposal?

    Scorebuddy is launching a new AI solution, building on our existing artificial intelligence offering, Scorebuddy CX, and adding significant new capabilities.

    Introducing GenAI Auto Scoring, an AI-powered virtual evaluator that can audit up to 100% of support interactions, cut costs, and uncover insights in an instant.

    Let’s explore what GenAI Auto Scoring can do for you.

    What are the benefits of GenAI Auto Scoring?

    Cut your QA costs in half

    You’ll be able to significantly reduce your cost per interaction compared to traditional QA evaluations. This will enable you to reallocate resources to activities like analysis and coaching that have a more direct impact on customer satisfaction metrics and revenue generation.

    Better yet, you’ll be able to safely scale your quality assurance program without spending on added headcount, so you can ensure a cost-efficient approach to business growth, without sacrificing the quality of your customer experience.

    Automatically score up to 100% of interactions

    You can go from evaluating 2 to 3% of interactions manually, to automatically auditing up to 100%—without having to expand your QA team and blow your budget. Imagine expanding your QA coverage 50x with zero spend on hiring?

    This will also make your evaluations more accurate and transparent, eliminating bias and the possibility of human error from the process.

    With AI handling a big chunk of the QA workload, your team will be free to focus on high-impact tasks like coaching, root cause analysis, and strategic process improvement. Plus, with 100% coverage, you’re better able to mitigate risk around regulatory compliance.

    Reduce evaluation times from 5 minutes to 2 seconds

    With the speed of GenAI Auto Scoring, the time it takes to evaluate an interaction is more than 100x faster than before. Not only does this significantly reduce the workload for your QA team, it also means agents receive feedback quicker than ever before—ensuring maximum impact.

    With your evaluators no longer stuck reviewing run-of-the-mill interactions, they’re free to pursue more engaging, high-value work, improving morale and lowering the chances of attrition. The rapid speed of AI-powered QA means a greater ROI from your QA program, in a much shorter timeframe.

    Uncover actionable insights instantly

    With AI supporting a more efficient QA process, you’ll be able to build detailed reports on agent performance, customer sentiment, and regulatory compliance in a fraction of the time it would take with a human-only approach. This means new insights in seconds, not days, and, vitally, insights that are backed by 100% interaction analysis, not a tiny sample size.

    You can use AI insights to create personalized, hyper-relevant coaching sessions and training plans tailored for individual agents. Plus, AI is capable of flagging potential CX issues before they occur, so you can be proactive and address problems before they have a chance to escalate.

    How GenAI Auto Scoring works

    With GenAI Auto Scoring, QA managers can create a number of AI-powered virtual evaluators that will automatically audit up to 100% of interactions, with fully customisable scorecards and questions tailored to your specific needs, channels, and types of interactions.

    Ultra-configurable AI scoring criteria

    Each AI scorecard follows the market-leading, highly customisable Scorebuddy template and translates it into a large language model (LLM) prompt offering the familiar Scorebuddy flexibility:

    • Configurable question, text, and answer options
    • Request comments and causes to help the AI give context and reasoning behind the scores it generates
    • Use scoring tips for each question to give further context to the AI about your specific processes and procedures
    • Assign different score weighting for each question and section
    • Include fail-all and fail-section answers
    • Include N/A so that where any question isn’t relevant to the interaction being scored, it is ignored and doesn’t affect the score

    Interactions are assigned to your AI evaluators, just as they would be to human evaluators, using the rich filter set available. To avoid disputes, AI scores are kept separate from human scores for reporting purposes.

    Save time by auto-scoring conversations using AI

    Where do the humans fit in?

    We want to stress that GenAI Auto Scoring is by no means a replacement for human evaluators.

    Rather, the implementation of AI will expand and evolve the role of the QA evaluator as we understand it today. Instead of wasting their time reviewing run-of-the-mill interactions, your quality assurance team will be free to focus on more complex conversations that require human audit, as well as more valuable tasks like analysis, coaching, and strategy.

    This will not only enhance the value of your contact center QA function—it will also improve morale and productivity across your quality assurance team.

    What about integrations?

    Scorebuddy’s GenAI Auto Scoring works with your existing tools, including Intercom, Salesforce, Genesys, and many more. We understand the importance of a stable infrastructure, so you can expand QA coverage and leverage AI without disrupting your current workflows.

    Scorebuddy’s AI vision going forward

    Our AI approach is holistic, incorporating different strands of artificial intelligence. With GenAI Auto Scoring, we’re establishing an outcome-driven QA tool that can provide immediate results, but we’re also looking to expand our AI capabilities in the near future.

    We have positioned our solution to be able to quickly adapt and take advantage of the latest developments in a rapidly changing AI landscape.

    As part of our work with artificial intelligence, we’ve been developing AI-powered translation and call transcription features. With increasing demand to serve a global customer base, the ability to perform multilingual QA will soon become a necessity. If you could leverage AI to instantly transcribe and/or translate an interaction, evaluators could then audit conversations more effectively in any language.

    Example: Using AI to better personalize coaching

    The introduction of generative AI to contact centers will both increase the need for agent coaching—and provide additional tools to facilitate learning and development. We’re exploring where AI could be deployed in the coaching workflow to support more personalized agent coaching at a greater scale.

    For example, AI could audit a series of conversations handled by a specific agent, identify trends and patterns in that dataset, and use this information to highlight areas where the agent requires further coaching or support.

    Say GenAI Auto Scoring continually showed that Agent A was scoring high for empathy and tone, but low for product knowledge, while Agent B was the opposite, an expert in emotional intelligence, but lacking the product knowledge to deliver quick resolutions.

    In this scenario, applying a blanket coaching approach to both agents would be wasteful. Instead, you’d likely get the best results by delivering a product crash course for Agent A and soft skills training for Agent B.

    These are just some examples of what could be possible in the near future. Working with our customers and strategic partners, we’ll be building on GenAI Auto Scoring to bring new solutions to the industry.

      FAQ

      How customizable are the AI scorecards for GenAI Auto Scoring? Can I create industry or company-specific scorecards, or add new criteria?

      With GenAI Auto Scoring, everything is configurable. In contrast to the rigid limitations of other AI evaluation tools, Scorebuddy puts the power of AI in the hands of the users.

      Users can customize every aspect of the AI scorecard, including sections, questions, answers, comments, causes, tips, and more.

      This means you can tailor the auto scoring criteria to align with your specific needs, whether that’s industry-specific, company-specific, or anything else.

      And thanks to the configurability of GenAI Auto Scoring, you will have the option of adjusting your AI scoring criteria if your QA requirements and/or wider business goals change over time.

      How are you going to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the AI-generated scores compared to human evaluators?

      AI scores will add a fresh perspective to selected interactions, complementing your manual evaluations to give a more comprehensive picture of agent performance and customer experience.

      With the addition of an AI score, you will have a three layers of insight:

      • Evaluator score
      • AI score
      • Customer score (CSAT)

      AI scoring is not intended to eliminate the need for human evaluators. It’s about adding extra context to every interaction, so you have a complete qualitative and quantitative overview of agent-customer conversations.

      GenAI Auto Scoring will be capable of providing an explanation for the scores it assigns, so you can understand its decision-making process and the factors that influenced the AI score.

      Will Scorebuddy provide training and support on how to use GenAI Auto Scoring?

      Yes, Scorebuddy will provide extensive onboarding to ensure that your QA team is fully equipped to get the best possible results with GenAI Auto Scoring. This will include how to configure the AI scoring criteria to meet your needs, how to insert GenAI Auto Scoring into your existing workflows, and more.

      The prospect of adding AI to established QA workflows and processes can be daunting for those involved, especially evaluators and agents, so we strive to support our customers in managing this change and ensuring a smooth transition to AI-supported QA.

      How do you ensure privacy and security of customer interaction data being processed by AI?

      Ensuring the privacy and security of customer data is of paramount importance to Scorebuddy. Your scores and interaction data:

      • are not available to external large language models
      • are not used to improve any large language model (LLM)
      • are not used to improve any 3rd party products or services

      A detailed data security and privacy policy will be available to you ahead of implementation, and we will answer any questions you have about your specific data privacy and security requirements.

      What’s the pricing structure for this AI add-on?

      Scorebuddy’s AI pricing structure is flexible to suit your needs. Pricing is determined by usage, so you only pay for what you need.
