Virtual Assistant applet
- Helen Griffith
Vonage AI Studio's Virtual Assistant uses artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret a contact's request. It can then ask clarifying questions to formulate an appropriate response. That response may, for example, reference content from an FAQ, propose an action to update or read the contact's data, or route the interaction to a real agent using an appropriate interaction plan.The Virtual Assistant applet routes interactions to virtual agents within Vonage's AI Studio's Virtual Assistant. For information about using the Virtual Assistant applet, see Setting up routing interactions to Vonage AI Studio's Virtual Assistant.
