FeatureDescription
Record categorization
Task Intelligence for Customer Service provides the following types of categorization:
  • Multi-lingual record categorization: Use a machine learning model that understands English, French, German, and Spanish to evaluate text in emails and records created in different languages and to predict and automatically populate fields on records in the Case table, tables that extend the Case table, and the Interaction table.

    This feature uses one machine learning model to support multiple languages so you no longer need one model per language. The model can also support additional languages on demand.

  • Attachment-based record categorization: Use a machine learning model to parse email or record text and attachments and automatically populate fields on case and interaction records based on signals contained in the text.

    This feature evaluates text in the email subject and body, the record short description and description, and the attachments and uses all of this information to predict field values. As a result, you can integrate predictions with any routing engine and automatically route records to the appropriate service desk based on these values.
Sentiment Analysis
Detect and display the initial and ongoing sentiment of customer service cases by evaluating the following text:
  • Email subject and body
  • Case short description and description
Help agents gauge customer emotions and better prioritize their work while enabling them to provide more empathetic and compassionate customer experiences.

Sentiment Analysis is currently available in English.
Language detection

Identify the language used to create a customer service case and add the language to the Language field for the case record. This feature can identify up to 20 different languages.

Add the identified language to the case as a skill, which is stored in the Task Skills table. This table can be configured as a related list on the Case form.

Use the identified language to route cases to assignment groups and agents with the necessary language skills.
Document Intelligence

Document intelligence reduces the time needed to resolve the case by automating some of the routine case tasks, which enables agents to focus on more complex case resolution.

Extract relevant information from PDF and image files, such as credit card numbers, vendor names, or customer addresses, and add that information to fields on the case.
Task Intelligence Admin Console

The Admin Console provides a business friendly interface that you can use to create, train, and deploy machine learning models to predict field values for records, extract sentiment, and detect language.

The models provide flexible options to either auto-fill values on the records or to provide recommendations only, depending on the sensitivity of those fields. An option is also available to run the model in the background only for monitoring purposes.
DocIntel Admin experience The Document Intelligence application includes the DocIntel Admin experience, which provides an easy-to-use interface that you can use to do the following:
  • Create and configure document processing use cases
  • Monitor the performance of Document Intelligence use cases
For more information, see Create a Document Intelligence use case.
Similar case recommendation Use the Similar Case Recommendation feature to quickly locate similar cases that offer valuable insights into the current issue. Also, use this feature to suggest cases that might be related to major problems, helping you provide more informed and efficient support.
