Scotland’s understaffed Public Sector is struggling – Conversational AI can fill the gap

Webinar: 7th September - Register

The Scottish public sector is critically understaffed. Meanwhile, the demand for services is growing; causing a reduction in service levels and customer experience, and ultimately leading to increased stress of existing staff. The only way to bridge the gap is Conversational AI.  

During our Webinar, you will hear how Conversational AI can rescue Scotland’s public services by deflecting up to 40% of contact requests, enabling users to self-serve 24/7 in the most effective way.
