Generative AI summaries for customer-service calls
Saks cut after-call work by 15 seconds per interaction with AI summaries
Problem
Customer-service agents had to update records and write detailed notes after calls. This work took time across a large volume of customer contacts.
Approach
Saks built an automatic call-summary solution with Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Bedrock. Transcribe converted speech to text, and generative AI condensed calls into short summaries.
Results
Takeaway
Saks reduced the documentation work that followed customer calls. The reported saving applied to after-call work rather than the whole interaction.
