Customer expectations are higher than ever. Businesses need smarter ways to deliver fast and accurate support. But many contact centers still struggle with outdated knowledge bases, siloed insights, and rigid self-service tools that don’t adapt to changing customer needs.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center is changing all of this. By introducing autonomous AI agents that continuously learn, update, and improve customer interactions – without manual intervention.
How Autonomous Agents Work Within the Contact Center
Businesses often struggle with three major inefficiencies in their customer support workflows:
- Outdated knowledge bases – Manual updates lead to information gaps and inconsistent answers.
- Siloed insights – Valuable knowledge from past customer interactions remains buried in chat logs and case notes.
- Rigid self-service tools – Traditional chatbots follow scripted dialogues and fail to adapt in real time.
Microsoft has introduced autonomous agents to help businesses overcome these challenges and improve customer service operations.
- Customer Intent Agent enhances self-service support by:
- Continuously analyzing customer interactions across all channels to discover common issues.
- Mapping customer concerns to the right solutions in real time.
- Creating an ever-evolving knowledge library to ensure up-to-date, automated responses without manual updates.
- Customer Knowledge Management Agent ensures knowledge bases remain accurate and relevant by:
- Analyzing case notes, transcripts, and customer inquiries to detect knowledge gaps.
- Automatically suggesting updates to existing knowledge articles.
- Creating new knowledge entries based on trending customer issues.
The Shift
While AI has been revolutionizing customer service for years, Microsoft’s autonomous agents take things a step further. These AI-driven assistants analyze customer interactions, extract insights, and automate knowledge updates to ensure both self-service and human-assisted channels are always improving.
