Intelligent assistance for efficiency-obsessed teams

OpenAI's release of ChatGPT back in 2022 marked a turning point in the world of artificial intelligence. This powerful AI assistant spurred a Cambrian explosion of innovation, with hundreds of startups creating their own AI assistants designed to supercharge specific tasks. From planning vacation itineraries to decoding complex legal texts and learning to code, AI assistants began to reshape how we work and live.

Process excellence (PEX) leaders of BPOs and other efficiency-obsessed enterprises quickly took notice. For years, they had leveraged robotic process automation (RPA) to automate numerous business processes. However, they soon realized that not all processes could be economically automated due to their complexity. The success of ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) inspired them to empower their teams with similar AI tools.

The evolution of AI in business processes

A primary use case for LLMs emerged in sales and customer service, where AI helped draft customer replies. While human oversight was necessary to prevent AI from generating errors, the time savings were significant. 

More advanced enterprises took this further by streamlining their knowledge management systems and databases, equipping operations specialists, such as insurance claims handlers, with comprehensive access to relevant systems and policies. While expert review remained essential, these tools sped up the initial drafting process, saving a ton of time. 

Despite these advances from AI chatbots, PEX leaders in BPOs realized their agents face trickier challenges in their day-to-day work –performing mental gymnastics just to keep up with tasks, including:

• Navigating overloaded interfaces: Agents often deal with complex interfaces that are not user-friendly, causing inefficiencies.
• Switching between tabs and documents: Constantly moving between different tabs and documents disrupts focus and slows down processes.
• Looking up scattered data: Information is often spread across multiple systems and documents, making it difficult to quickly find what is needed.
• Reconciling unstructured data: Agents must frequently reconcile data from different sources, formats, and structures, adding to the cognitive load.
• Dealing with error-prone forms: Many systems lack proper data validation, leading to errors that require time-consuming corrections.
• Outdated interfaces and manual steps: Legacy systems often involve manual and tedious steps that are not optimized for efficiency.

These challenges highlight a need for a more integrated and user-friendly approach to process improvement. 

The traditional approach: Patching together solutions

Solving these daily frictions requires extensive process analysis, consultations with technology experts, and coordination with IT. Developers use a mix of technologies, including LLMs, document processing solutions, RPA bots, and Excel macros, to create duct taped solutions. While feasible on paper, these projects often face several problems:

1. Complex user experience: Duct taped solutions are often complex and error-prone, making them difficult to adopt and operate across workflows. 
2. Technical complexity: Combining different technologies is custom, fragile, and challenging to maintain.
3. High costs and risks: Projects take a significant amount of time and effort, increasing costs and risks.
4. Coordination effort: Collaborating with various technology experts and IT stakeholders is time-consuming, slowing down projects.

In short, while PEX professionals aim to reduce handling times and streamline work, their projects are often risky, costly, and have diminished ROI due to ballooning costs.
