Seasmiles AI chatbot for loyalty-programme questions
Attica Group's Seasmiles chatbot answered more than 53,000 questions in its first three months
Problem
Members of the Seasmiles loyalty programme needed answers about sign-up, benefits and points at any hour. Attica carries passengers on 32 vessels, so questions came in around the clock.
Approach
Attica launched the chatbot in July 2020 with the Greek startup SmartRep. It uses natural language processing, starts from a preselected menu and runs 24 hours a day. It explains membership, and lets members check their profile and points balance, redeem points for tickets and open their digital card. Attica planned to expand its knowledge base and add an English version.
Results
Takeaway
The bot took routine loyalty questions that would otherwise reach the call centre. The figures count questions and users, not resolution rates or savings.
