What is Anna and how does it assist customers?
Anna is a virtual agent developed by Holland America Line using Microsoft Copilot Studio. It acts as a digital concierge on the company's website, providing support to new and existing customers as well as travel advisors. Anna is designed to assist with booking new cruises, adding products and services to existing bookings, and answering a wide range of general questions, all while maintaining a strong resolution rate and handling thousands of conversations each week.
How does Anna improve customer support?
Anna improves customer support by offering personalized, 24/7 assistance without increasing contact center volumes. It utilizes advanced natural language processing to understand complex queries and provide relevant information quickly. This has led to a reduction in basic informational queries directed to contact center agents, allowing them to focus on more complex issues.
What are the future plans for Anna?
Holland America Line plans to expand Anna's capabilities by integrating additional services such as booking excursions, spa services, and drink packages. The agent will also be introduced in markets outside the United States, including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with localized cruise and booking information. This expansion aims to further enhance the customer experience throughout their journey.
