The Challenge
The client, a major online casino operator, faced an overwhelming volume of customer support inquiries. Their team of 15 support agents struggled to maintain response times, with average ticket resolution taking over 4 hours.
Common queries included:
- Account verification questions
- Bonus terms and conditions
- Deposit and withdrawal status
- Game rules and odds
The support team was spending 70% of their time on repetitive, low-complexity queries that could be handled by automation.
Our Solution
Spring Software implemented an AI-powered support agent that integrates directly with the client's existing systems.
Architecture
The solution leverages our proven AI agent framework:
- Natural Language Understanding for accurate query classification
- Real-time database integration for account-specific responses
- Intelligent escalation to human agents for complex issues
- Multi-language support for global player base
Key Features
-
Contextual Responses: The AI agent accesses player account data in real-time to provide personalized answers about balances, pending withdrawals, and bonus status.
-
Smart Escalation: Complex issues or emotional players are seamlessly transferred to human agents with full conversation context.
-
Proactive Assistance: The system identifies patterns in player behavior to offer help before problems arise.
Implementation
Working closely with the client's team, we deployed the solution in phases:
- Week 1-2: Integration with CRM and payment systems
- Week 3-4: AI training on historical support data
- Week 5: Soft launch with 10% traffic
- Week 6+: Full rollout with monitoring
Results
The impact was immediate and measurable:
- 60% reduction in tickets requiring human intervention
- Sub-2-second average response time for AI-handled queries
- $150,000/year in operational cost savings
- Customer satisfaction scores improved by 25%
"The AI support agent has transformed our customer service operation. Our human agents now focus on complex cases where they can truly add value." — Head of Customer Success, Client
