Customer Experiences with Contact Center AI Dialogflow ES

In this course, learn how to design customer conversations using Contact Center Artificial Intelligence (CCAI). You’ll use Dialogflow ES to create virtual agents and test them using the simulator. Learn to add functionality to access data from external systems, making virtual agents conversationally dynamic. You'll be introduced to testing methods, connectivity protocols, APIs, environment management, and compliance measures. Learn best practices for integrating conversational solutions with your existing contact center software and implementing solutions securely and at scale.
