In the quest for enhanced productivity and superior customer experiences, Microsoft Copilot for Service has emerged as a transformative solution powered by generative AI.
Copilot is powered by your data in Dynamics 365 CRM and other trusted sources, enabling service teams to navigate tasks more efficiently and effectively.
Let’s explore how this innovative technology enhances the agent experience to reshape traditional customer support.
Boosting Productivity with Copilot for Service
Nucleus Research predicts that service agents will benefit most from GenAI, as purpose-built solutions such as Copilot are expected to improve productivity by 10-35%.
This is borne out by Microsoft’s research in 2023, where early Copilot adopters reported a 12% reduction in time spent resolving a case. When people had access to Copilot, they independently resolved 10% of cases that generally require peer collaboration.
How Copilot Benefits Service Teams
Embedded Copilot chat in Dynamics 365
Copilot taps into your CRM and other data to provide real-time answers to customer questions. By minimising the need to search through multiple systems; support teams can receive accurate information instantly alongside case records.
Case Summaries
Copilot summarises case details within Dynamics 365, helping individuals assess the situation and prioritise to resolve issues efficiently. This includes referencing related emails, notes and conversations in a summary.
This context helps agents to quickly focus on solving problems rather than digging through timeline entries and records.
Automated Email Summaries & Drafts
Copilot also summarises inbound support emails to highlight the main action points and suggest follow-up actions.
With integration into Dynamics 365, Copilot streamlines customer communication by drafting email responses directly within the CRM interface. This experience enables agents to efficiently address customer queries without the interruption of navigating between multiple applications.
Knowledge Source Integration
With Copilot connected with Dynamics 365, you can quickly find answers using your knowledge articles, trusted sites, and internal data sources from within the CRM interface.
By making it easier to find and share relevant information using a Copilot bot powered by your data, queries can be efficiently resolved to improve service speed and quality.
Additionally, Copilot can support the authoring of your articles with an autonomous agent that analyses case information to detail the issue, cause and resolution.
Conversation Summaries
Copilot enhances live chat support by offering agents dynamic summaries of ongoing conversations. This feature ensures that agents have the essential context at their fingertips, enabling them to provide informed and timely support. At the end of each chat session, Copilot also provides a summary that can be used for future reference.
Copilot for Service Integration with Dynamics 365
Copilot improves the efficiency of a support team by integrating natively into Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365.
Streamlining access to customer and organisational data allows agents to deliver targeted, personalised service. Imagine instantly receiving the customer’s entire service history and insights directly from Teams and SharePoint for a unified, informed response every time.
Copilot combines the best of Dynamics 365’s customer insights with Microsoft 365’s collaboration tools. The result? A richer, more personalised service where your agent knows the customer’s history and understands their current needs through real-time data, leading to quicker and more accurate resolutions.
