Customer Experiences with Contact Center AI - Dialogflow ES Training
In this Contact Center AI course, master designing customer conversations using Contact Center Artificial Intelligence (CCAI). Attendees use Dialogflow ES to create virtual agents, test them using the simulator, and add functionality to access data from external systems, making virtual agents conversationally dynamic. This course covers testing methods, connectivity protocols, APIs, environment management, and compliance measures. Students also learn best practices for integrating conversational solutions with your existing contact center software and implementing solutions securely and at scale.
