Moreover, the trend also indicates that voice hyper-personalized enables and explains customers with voice technology to access customer service interactively instead of inquiries.
This trend would mean that 58 percent of the customer base would be inclined to this type of interaction although it is through a different brand.
According to the data, 68% of Voice Technology users increased their use within the last year, giving this evidence as an indication of a paradigm shift within the industry towards AI-powered interactions.
“For instance, in the next year, at least, every consumer app and website is likely going to have to include some form of AI-based voice,”
Renarked Tobias Dengel, the president of TELUS Digital Solutions.
There is a demand for natural, intuitive interactions and because of that, voice technology is one way to meet the requirements that the consumers are looking for.
