Natural Language Processing (NLP) in a contact centre leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to understand and work with human language. It encompasses various critical functionalities, such as analysing text, recognising speech, determining sentiment, facilitating chatbots and virtual assistants, enabling language translation, understanding user intents, automating the categorisation of interactions, and offering real-time monitoring and analytics.

NLP plays a pivotal role in enhancing customer service within contact centres by enabling automated interactions, improving self-service options, and providing personalised and efficient support to customers. It also contributes to boosting operational efficiency by automating certain tasks, categorising interactions effectively, and extracting valuable insights from large volumes of customer data.
