What can Yellow.ai do: Transform Customer Service with Agentic AI Workflows

Picture your support agent’s screen:

  • A ticket needs updating in the CRM
  • Three follow-up reminders are due
  • Customer histories need documenting
  • Chat transcripts wait to be logged
  • New tickets keep arriving

Now picture this: Your agents are deeply engaged with customers building stronger relationships, while intelligent AI-powered workflows handle everything else. No data entry. No manual updates. No task switching.

This is how Yellow.ai’s intelligent workflow orchestration weaves its magic. It runs in the background while your support team delivers what matters: valuable interactions for your customers.

Welcome to the first installment of our “What can Yellow.ai do” series, where show you how Yellow.ai can help you transform your customer service function, with the power of our industry leading Agentic AI platform – one capability at a time.

Top Customer Service Challenges

Customer service agents spend a significant portion of their time on repetitive tasks, reducing the time they can spend on more complex, value-added interactions.

Research shows that as much as 40% of an agent’s time is spent on routine tasks, such as answering frequently asked questions, gathering information, or verifying account details​. This leaves agents with less time to handle complex customer issues and build deeper relationships with them, potentially lowering overall productivity, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

Here’s a look at the top challenges in faced by customer service leaders today:

1. How to reduce the burden on agents and improve efficiency?

When agents get bogged down by repetitive tasks, high workload and strict SLAs, both productivity and service quality suffer.

Key pain points include:

  • Routine administrative tasks consume up to 80% of agent time
  • Multiple system updates required for each interaction
  • Constant context switching between different platforms
  • Manual data entry across various systems
  • Time-consuming documentation requirements

What This Costs Your Business

  • Operational Inefficiency: Increased operational costs from inefficient resource usage
  • Lower Productivity: Higher average handling time (AHT) for tickets
  • Quality Impact: Reduced capacity for complex problem-solving

2. How to prevent customer drop-offs and maintain consistent engagement?

Customer drop-offs often result from slow response times, lack of personalization, or inconsistent communication. These issues create gaps in engagement, leading to dissatisfaction and churn. Addressing this requires proactive strategies that ensure seamless, meaningful interactions.

Common Causes of Drop-Offs:

  • Delayed Responses: Customers expect instant replies, and delays drive disengagement.
  • Lack of Personalization: Generic responses fail to meet customers’ expectations for tailored experiences.
  • Unclear Communication Flow: Inconsistent or confusing interactions disrupt the customer journey.

What This Costs Your Business:

  • Loss of Revenue: Customer drop-offs can lead to missed sales opportunities and reduced repeat business.
  • Higher Acquisition Costs: Replacing lost customers increases the expense of acquiring new ones.
  • Increased Churn: Lack of consistent engagement accelerates customer churn, impacting growth potential.
  • Brand Damage: Negative experiences from drop-offs hurt brand reputation and future trust.

3. How to maintain quality and compliance while handling high volumes?

When service agents face surging volumes, maintaining quality and adhering to compliance guidelines become significant challenges. High-pressure situations often lead to mistakes, inconsistent responses, and missed regulations. Key pain points include:

Key Pain Points:

  • Overloaded agents unable to adhere to strict compliance rules.
  • Difficulty ensuring data accuracy in high-pressure scenarios.
  • Inconsistent responses due to lack of quality checks or training.
  • Increased risk of non-compliance fines from overlooked regulatory requirements.

What This Costs Your Business:

  • Regulatory Penalties: Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines and legal repercussions.
  • Customer Trust: Errors or non-compliance damage brand reputation and reduce trust.
  • Operational Inefficiency: Time and resources wasted on correcting errors post-facto.
  • Quality Loss: Decline in service quality impacts customer loyalty and satisfaction.

4. How to optimize support operations without compromising service quality?

Balancing efficiency with exceptional service is a constant challenge for support teams. Without proper strategies, streamlining operations can unintentionally impact the customer experience.

Key Pain Points:

  • Lengthy ticket resolution times due to inefficient workflows.
  • High agent burnout from manual, repetitive tasks.
  • Limited visibility into key metrics to identify bottlenecks.
  • Over-reliance on human effort leading to inconsistent performance.

What This Costs Your Business:

  • Slower Response Times: Reduced ability to meet SLAs and customer expectations.
  • Increased Operational Costs: Inefficiencies drive up resource expenses.
  • Lower Customer Satisfaction: Poor experiences affect retention and loyalty.
  • Lost Competitive Edge: Lagging operational efficiency impacts business scalability.
