And, it minimizes the IT effort required to deploy and maintain a custom conversational solution.

Microsoft’s powerful conversational AI capabilities enable your end users to have rich multi-turn conversations that quickly guide them to the right solution. And, unlike most products on the market, there’s no need to retrain AI models. All you need is to provide a few examples of what topic you want the bot to handle and you’re ready to go.
Bots that can chat with your users are great, but bots that can act on their behalf are even better. With Virtual Agent for Customer Service, you can easily integrate with services and backend systems out-of-the-box or through hundreds of easy-to-add custom connectors using Microsoft Flow. This makes it simple to create a bot that not only responds to the user, but also takes action to resolve their issues.
Virtual Agent for Customer Service lets you keep an eye on how your bots are performing using powerful metrics and AI-driven dashboards. Easily see which topics are doing well and where the bot can improve, and quickly make adjustments to improve performance.
Virtual Agent for Customer Service works hand-in-hand with Dynamics 365 for Customer Service Insights to provide a holistic view of your customer service operations. You can use Customer Service Insights and Virtual Agent together to determine which topics are trending or consuming support resources, and then easily automate them.
