Reply has developed its own Robotics for Customers approach in the context of Data-Driven Customer Engagement. Robotics for Customers is a framework built on two foundational pillars: Recommendation Systems and Conversational Systems. The synergy between these advanced capabilities determines a rich and unified perspective on:

Recommendation Systems deal with a particular form of intelligent information filtering, aimed to extracting value by finding similarities among users and/or items and generating a ranked list of proposal tailored to an end-user’s preferences.The framework Robotics for Customers introduced a unified development strategy for Recommendation Systems which now allows those kinds of services to be developed and implemented in a straightforward manner, from prototypes to production environments. From an organization perspective, a Recommendation System can be built on a small amount of data, which can be as diverse as an organization may hold in specific business domains. The data processing engine is then provided by advanced analytics, typically built using AI-driven and Machine Learning capabilities.KNOW MORE!
Conversational systems are intelligent machines capable of understanding language and conducting a written or verbal conversation with a User. Their adoption is aimed at improving Customer Experience by steering human-machine interaction. Their objective is to provide informed answers, assistance, help in direct channel interaction and possibly in real time.Conversational systems are designed for conducting a conversation via auditory or textual methods, convincingly simulating how a human would behave and taking advantage of sophisticated Natural Language Processing and Understanding capabilities. The framework Robotics for Customers introduced a Human centered design approach for conversational interfaces, aimed at creating “experience systems”, by humanizing processes and exploiting advanced technology. Besides, the Personality by design approach is the methodology aimed at shaping Bot personality, thus enhancing design of interaction styles, by humanizing Customer touchpoints and augmenting user experience.

Reply developed the framework Robotics for Customers as a comprehensive approach for developing strategic, Data-Driven Customer Engagement services. One major objective of the framework is to make information, which is typically hidden and fragmented inside enterprise data assets and IT platforms, actionable. From this viewpoint, the framework Robotics for Customers was conceived to provide suitable support to any business process. It mainly addresses Personalized Services, to be provided to Users within their preferred digital channels. The framework model is built by adopting a cross domain and multi disciplinary approach and by leveraging expertise about strategic consultancy in several domain contexts and market scenarios. The framework Robotics for Customers harnesses from one side technical competences and practices, on the other side strategic and business consulting experience in order to fulfill end-to-end solutions.

User Interfaces developed from batch processing of punch cards and command line interfaces to graphical interfaces using metaphors like the desktop and dustbin.
Data Reply have developed a tailor made version of a Recommender Engine which can take advantage of various types of interactions of the customer with the product (purchases, ratings, web page views, social sharing actions…) and is capable of automatically adapting over time to specific customer needs by listening to the feedback actions collected.
With the aim of experimenting with an Advanced Analytics approach, the Data Analytics laboratory initiative launched by Banca Mediolanum involves a partnership between the Marketing Research team and Reply for the development of advanced data analysis mechanisms and the design of proactive services, tailored to the customer’s needs.
In recent decades, we have witnessed the emergency of an increasingly robotic society and the growth of complex artificial intelligence. We are in a world where the conversation is the interface and the personality is the new User Experience.
Reply has developed the framework Robotics for Customers which allows customers to build a time-to-value Recommendation System that can be easily integrated into any existing platform.
There is no mystery behind traditional collaborative algorithms: they simply try to suggest similar content to what we have previously watched, or what other users with similar tastes to us have been watching. Yet we can go even further using Deep Learning and Knowledge Graph methods that leverage contextual and unstructured data.
One of the first cases where the Robotics for Customers approach has faced Chatbots has been in the automotive industry, where online assistants have been conceived for product presentation and catalogue configuration.
With the current hype on customer centricity going strong, a lot of companies are asking Reply to help them turn their product and service development towards a more human centered one.
