Stop Customer Service Chaos: The Dynamics 365 AI Fix
You feel the chaos, inbox overflow, tickets vanish, customers rage. In this episode, we show how to tame that chaos with autonomous agents inside Dynamics 365 that standardize email-to-case intake, classify intent, and route every ticket with honest math instead of guesswork. You’ll see how AI reads full email threads and attachments, binds identity, sets the right SLA, and auto-creates complete cases so nothing drops and dashboards reflect reality, not noise. We walk through self-service flows, automated ticket creation, and clean human escalation, plus governance, audit logs, PII controls, and DLP so compliance teams can sleep at night. If you lead support, CX, or IT operations and your inbox is your attack surface, this episode is your blueprint to lower cost per ticket, cut average handle time, boost first-contact resolution, and turn Dynamics 365 into the spine of your customer service automation.
🔧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Your inbox isn’t broken — your access path is.
In this episode, we break down how autonomous agents inside Dynamics 365 fix the chaos of email-to-case by standardizing intake, eliminating misroutes, and turning every message into clean, governed, SLA-accurate tickets. You’ll see the real mechanics behind:
- Email parsing & AI-driven intent extraction
- Entity capture (customer, product, entitlement, order IDs, attachments)
- Unified Routing with skills, capacity, performance & SLA math
- Copilot drafting + agent review loops
- Human escalation paths with Teams context injection
- Governance: audit logs, PII redaction, DLP, identity binding
And one silent SLA mistake that drains teams without anyone noticing. 🚨 The Problem Today Modern service inboxes aren’t inboxes — they’re attack surfaces. We dig into the core fractures:
- Slow, inconsistent ticket creation
- Human parsing fatigue → wrong categories → bad routing
- Escalations that depend on tribal knowledge
- High cost per ticket hidden in tiny repetitive actions
- Unbounded access paths with no identity, taxonomy, or intake control
- Silent SLA breaches from delayed case creation
Your backlog isn’t a volume issue.
It’s a design issue. 🤖 What Autonomous Agents Actually Do No hype — just mechanics. We walk through the full agent pipeline: 1. Read & Understand Email structure, threads, attachments, sentiment, urgency, identity binding. 2. Extract with Discipline Entities mapped to fields — not notes.
OCR for PDFs, table extraction, product → entitlement mapping. 3. Decide Deflect with verified self-service, or create a case with full accuracy. 4. Auto-Create All required fields, correct SLA, duplicate detection, channel tracking. 5. Categorize with Signal Stacking Subject + body + attachment + history → topic models, not keyword roulette. 6. Route Skills, capacity, performance history, SLA viability — math, not politics. 7. Draft Responses Copilot generates context-aware replies agents review in seconds. 8. Escalate Low confidence, negative sentiment, VIP → human with summary + labeled attachments. 9. Follow Up SLA-based nudges, reopen logic, clean closeout notes. 10. Learn Topic clusters, stale knowledge, new error patterns → continuous improvement. 11. Protect PII redaction, DLP, RBAC, retention — compliant from intake to resolution. Agents don’t replace humans.
They clear the noise so humans can handle judgment, empathy, and exceptions. 🏢 Why Dynamics 365 Is the Right Home Place matters. Dynamics brings:
- Native identity + customer context in Dataverse
- Unified inbox + omnichannel routing
- Seamless escalation into Teams
- Skill-based routing with SLA math
- Built-in governance: audit logs, retention, PII controls
- Knowledge tied to live case patterns
- Analytics that show real trends, not noise
- Azure AD & Conditional Access securing the intake path
You get context, control, continuity — all in one system. 🎯 Three Value Areas Where Friction Falls 1. Self-Service Empowerment Not chatbot fluff: verified, identity-bound steps that resolve without touching queues. 2. Automated Ticket Creation No guessing. No half-cases. No silent SLA breaches. Honest dashboards. 3. Human Escalation AI clears repetitive work; humans handle nuance with perfect context. Resulting in:
- 25–40% lower AHT
- 15–30% higher first-contact resolution
- ~30% fewer reopenings
- Real, compounding cost-per-ticket reduction
This is how capacity scales without headcount. 📦 Real-World Example (Retail Ops) Hundreds of daily emails.
Baseline: long AHT, weak routing, rising ticket cost, agent burnout. After autonomous agents:
- Accurate intent extraction & identity binding
- Topic-model categorization
- SLA-bound case creation
- Copilot drafting saving minutes per case
- Clean escalation into Teams
- 30% AHT reduction
- 20% FCR increase
- ~30% fewer reopenings
- Managers forecast using real arrival times, not guesses
The queue didn’t empty — it became quiet. Predictable. Sanely scalable. ⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
- Dirty taxonomy or data → poisoned routing
- Missing escalation paths → silent SLA breaks
- Over-automation without controls → shadow workflows
- No human feedback → stale models
- PII leakage through drafts/screenshots
- Identity ambiguity → wrong customer, wrong case
Fix the foundation before scaling speed. 🧭 What You Need to Implement
- Clear intent taxonomy + confidence thresholds
- Clean intake queues with normalized subjects
- CRM schema with required fields & validation
- Unified routing rules tuned to SLA math
- Copilot licensing + role-based access
- Human override & escalation controls
- Weekly feedback loops + monthly retraining
- A 30–60–90 rollout plan focused on stability → accuracy → speed
Controls first. Speed second. Scale third. 🏁 Final Takeaway AI isn’t replacing your agents.
It’s deleting the backlog, standardizing intake, and giving humans the context to make the real calls. 📣 CTA Want the full deployment checklist, SLA templates, and benchmark metrics?

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
You feel the chaos, inbox overflow, tickets vanish, customers rage.
2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
It was never about the password.
3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
It's the access path, email to case without control.
4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Here's the fix.
5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Autonomous agents inside Dynamics 365
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
that read, classify, create, route, respond.
7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
No hype, real mechanics.
8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
We'll expose the fractures you ignore.
9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Then show the system that doesn't blink.
10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
You'll see email passing, AI classification, unified routing.
11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Co-pilot drafts and clean handoff to humans.
12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
We'll talk governance, audit logs, PII, escalation, stay.
13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
There's one mistake that keeps your SLA clocks bleeding.
14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I'll show it and how to stop it.
15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The problem today, fractured flow, rising cost.
16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Look at your inbox.
17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
It's not an inbox, it's an attack surface, cues choke, context scatters across threads forwards, screen shots.
18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
SLA timers start late then expire quietly.
19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
No one notices until the callback is angry.
20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
You don't miss emails.
21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
You miss intent.
22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
That's worse.
23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Slow ticket creation kills trust.
24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Humans parse paragraphs, copy paste wobbly details.
25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Guess at the right customer, the right product, the right entitlement.
26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Required fields?
27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Sometimes.
28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Consistency?
29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Rare.
30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Ownership?
31
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Delayed.
32
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Meanwhile, the clock doesn't care.
33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
It keeps moving.
34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Repetitive classification grinds people down.
35
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Subjects lie, bodies contradict.
36
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Attachments tell a different story.
37
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Agents skim, assume label wrong.
38
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Error stack.
39
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Categories don't match reality, so routing fails.
40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Downstream metrics get poisoned.
41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Leaders think volumes shifted. They didn't.
42
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Labels did.
43
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Escalation is a maze with dead ends.
44
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
You've got loopbacks.
45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
You've got tribal knowledge stuck in the heads of two seniors who hate vacation.
46
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Tickets stall because watchers weren't added.
47
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Or the team's channel wasn't pinged.
48
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Or the policy note lives in a sharepoint folder.
49
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
No one opens.
50
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
You call it process.
51
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
It's luck.
52
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
High cost per ticket isn't a line item.
53
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It's the compounding waste of 30 seconds repeated a thousand times.
54
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Copy, paste, search, toggle, ask, wait, reopen, apologize.
55
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Do it again.
56
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Labor burn hides inside tiny motions.
57
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Multiply by headcount.
58
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And by churn, you pay for the same answer two three times.
59
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
User frustration goes silent before it goes loud.
60
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
New agents drown because nothing is standardized.
61
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Seniors burn out because everything is escalated.
62
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Customers churn because the first touch is slow and the second touch is confused.
63
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Leaders fly blind because dashboards reflect noise, not truth.
64
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Now the part you don't want to admit.
65
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Email to case felt easy, one address, dump it into a queue, let humans sort it.
66
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
You created the fracture.
67
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
This path is ungoverned.
68
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
No identity binding on intake.
69
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
No canonical format.
70
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
No intent taxonomy.
71
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Every message becomes a custom puzzle.
72
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
At scale puzzles become fire.
73
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
But here's where it gets interesting.
74
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
The same path that breaks you can be standardized.
75
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Intake can be read, understood, normalized.
76
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Intent extracted.
77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Entities captured.
78
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Confidence measured.
79
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
That means tickets created the same way.
80
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Every time.
81
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Feels right.
82
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
SLA clock start on time.
83
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Ownership is instant, not eventual.
84
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Everything changes when classification stops being a guess.
85
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
You remove the roulette wheel.
86
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You root by skill, capacity and entitlement, not by who arrived first or who shouted loudest.
87
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Escalation becomes a policy gate, not a sticky note.
88
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Watchers attached.
89
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Notes summarized.
90
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Attachments indexed.
91
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Teams pinged with context, not chaos.
92
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
You're thinking cost.
93
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Good.
94
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Your cost particet is labour plus rework plus re-opening.
95
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Cut the manual parsing.
96
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Kill mis-roots.
97
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Prevent re-opening.
98
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
The math shifts.
99
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Even small percentages compound at volume.
100
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
That's the only honest way capacity scales without headcount.
101
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
You can't scale chaos.
102
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
You standardize the access path.
103
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Or it breaks.
104
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Autonomous agents do this work without blinking.
105
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
But only if you give them structure.
106
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Identity, taxonomy, entitlements and routes.
107
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Otherwise you just automate the mess faster.
108
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
You already know the truth.
109
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
The backlog isn't a volume problem.
110
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
It's a design problem.
111
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Fix intake.
112
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Then everything downstream starts to look sane.
113
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
What autonomous agents actually do?
114
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
No hype.
115
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Just mechanics.
116
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Here's what actually happens.
117
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
They read the email.
118
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Not just the words.
119
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
The structure, the headers, the thread, the attachments.
120
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
They parse intent.
121
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
They pull entities.
122
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Order ID.
123
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Serial number.
124
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Tenant.
125
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Asset.
126
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Entitlement.
127
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
They score sentiment.
128
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Urgency.
129
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
They bind identity when they can.
130
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Domain match.
131
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Contact record.
132
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Previous cases.
133
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
If identity is fuzzy, they market.
134
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Confidence.
135
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Threshold.
136
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
No guesswork mask the speed.
137
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
They extract.
138
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
With discipline.
139
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Entity's land in fields.
140
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Not in notes.
141
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Product maps to the product table.
142
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Subscription maps to entitlement.
143
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Region maps to the right business unit.
144
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Dates normalize.
145
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Time zones handled.
146
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Attachments are inspected.
147
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
PDFs are OCR.
148
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Tables parsed.
149
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
They don't skim.
150
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
They don't fatigue.
151
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
They don't forget the second paragraph.
152
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Then they decide.
153
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Case or deflect.
154
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
If it's known and trivial, they start self-service.
155
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
A guided flow.
156
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
A verified article.
157
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
A link with the exact steps.
158
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Not a home page.
159
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
If policy allows, they send an acknowledgement instantly.
160
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Case number.
161
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
SLA clock visible.
162
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Next steps clear.
163
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
No black box language.
164
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
No.
165
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
We'll get back to you.
166
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Precision replaces hope.
167
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
They auto create the ticket.
168
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Every required field.
169
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Every time.
170
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Q set by skills and capacity.
171
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Priorities.
172
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Priorities set by entitlement and impact.
173
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
SLA tied to the contract.
174
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Not a default.
175
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Channel recorded.
176
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Source preserved.
177
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Duplicate detection runs.
178
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
If it's a thread on an open case, they attach it.
179
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
No split histories.
180
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
No ghost cases.
181
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
They categorize with more than keywords.
182
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
They use topic models.
183
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Signal stacking.
184
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Subject body attachment.
185
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Past resolutions.
186
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
They assign the correct category because they learn the patterns.
187
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Not the obvious ones.
188
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
The quiet ones.
189
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
When a partner is in the middle of the game,
190
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
the obvious ones.
191
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
The quiet ones.
192
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
When a partner implies a warranty path.
193
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
When a phrase implies billing, not technical.
194
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
When can't log in means SSO drift.
195
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Not password reset.
196
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
They don't take the subject line at face value.
197
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Neither should you.
198
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
They route.
199
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Unified routing.
200
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Skills.
201
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Capacity.
202
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Calendar.
203
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
History.
204
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
They prefer agents who fix the issue fastest
205
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
with the fewest re-opening.
206
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Not the ones who click resolve first.
207
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
They watch SLA targets.
208
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
They send to the team that can meet the clock.
209
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
If queues back up, they surface the constraint.
210
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
It's math.
211
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Not politics.
212
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
They draft the response.
213
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Copilot composes.
214
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Using case context.
215
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Knowledge articles and policy.
216
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Tonaligned.
217
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Language matched.
218
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Links verified.
219
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
No lorum Ipsom mistakes.
220
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Agents review.
221
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
One click to send.
222
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
30 seconds saved becomes hours over a day.
223
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Aged he goes down because words appear ready.
224
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Not because corners were cut.
225
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
They escalate when signals trip.
226
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Confidence below threshold.
227
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Sentiment spikes negative.
228
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
VIP flag present.
229
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Safety terms detected.
230
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
They push to human.
231
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
With a summary, bulleted, timeline compressed.
232
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Attachments labeled.
233
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Policy queues highlighted.
234
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
They ping the expert in teams with context embedded.
235
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
No fishing through threads.
236
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
No, what's the history?
237
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Slack replaces scramble.
238
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
They follow up.
239
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
If the customer goes silent, they nudge at the SLA defined interval.
240
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
If the customer replies, they reopen with context.
241
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
No duplicate.
242
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
No lost ownership.
243
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
If resolution criteria are met, they resolve with clear notes.
244
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Evidence attached audit trail intact.
245
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Every action stamped.
246
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
You want compliance?
247
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
This is the spine.
248
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
They learn.
249
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Topic clustering shows spikes.
250
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
New errors.
251
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Seasonal drifts.
252
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
They nudge knowledge managers.
253
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
This article is stale.
254
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
They suggest edits.
255
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
They propose a new article when patterns repeat without a match.
256
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
They don't override judgment.
257
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
They surface candidates.
258
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Humans approve.
259
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
The loop closes.
260
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Faster each week.
261
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
They protect.
262
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
PII redaction on drafts and summaries.
263
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Masked before storage if policy requires.
264
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Data retention respected.
265
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
DLP rules enforced.
266
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Roll-based access gates.
267
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Every view.
268
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
You don't want shadow copies leaking in email threads.
269
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Neither do they.
270
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Evidence lives in the case.
271
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Not in someone's downloads folder.
272
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
They don't replace agents.
273
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
They clear the noise.
274
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
They standardize intake.
275
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
They make routing honest.
276
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
They front load context so humans can do nuance.
277
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Empathy.
278
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Negotiation.
279
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Exceptions.
280
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
The work only humans should touch.
281
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
You already feel the difference.
282
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Intake stops being roulette.
283
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
SLA clock stop bleeding.
284
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
The reports start telling the truth.
285
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And the backlog?
286
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
It stops being a moral failing.
287
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
It becomes a cue the system can actually hold.
288
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Why Dynamics 365?
289
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Is the perfect home?
290
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Context control continuity.
291
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Place matters.
292
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Identity lives here.
293
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Context 2.
294
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
You need both in one system.
295
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Integrated customer records are the spine.
296
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Account.
297
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Contact.
298
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Asset.
299
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Entitlement.
300
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Contract.
301
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
All in DITAverse.
302
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Spreadsheets.
303
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
When the agent opens the case, they don't guess who this is.
304
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
They see history.
305
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Orders.
306
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Renewals.
307
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Past failures.
308
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Promises made.
309
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Promises kept.
310
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
The agent doesn't chase context across tabs.
311
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
It's already bound to identity.
312
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
That kills rework.
313
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
That narrows the blast radius when something slips.
314
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
CRM context meets AI context.
315
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Case timeline.
316
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Emails, transcripts, attachments.
317
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Copilot memory stitches the signal.
318
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
It knows what was said, what was promised, which steps failed.
319
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It drafts with that memory, not generic templates.
320
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
The summary isn't theatre.
321
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,000
It's a compressed, searchable artifact that any supervisor can audit in ten seconds.
322
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
That's how you stop.
323
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
He said, she said, disputes.
324
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
The tape exists in the record.
325
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Not in someone's head.
326
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Unified in box plus omnichannel lowers friction.
327
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Email chat voice social.
328
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
One agent desktop.
329
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
One Q-math.
330
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Quoting treats channels as inputs, not separate fiefdoms.
331
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
A chat that turns into email.
332
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Same case.
333
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
A call that follows a form.
334
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Same case.
335
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
You don't duplicate history because someone switched mediums.
336
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Customers don't care about your channel silos.
337
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Neither should your system.
338
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Built in routing is honest.
339
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Skills.
340
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Capacity.
341
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Historical performance.
342
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
SLA targets.
343
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
It doesn't route to the loudest team.
344
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
It routes to the right team.
345
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
And it learns.
346
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
If someone consistently resolves without re-opening, they're weighted.
347
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
If a Q-saturates capacity threshold strip,
348
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
supervisors see the constraint before the SLA burns.
349
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
That changes staffing conversations from anecdotes to math.
350
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Native handover to agents isn't a handbrake.
351
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
It's seamless.
352
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Summaries.
353
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Surfaced.
354
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Next best actions proposed.
355
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Knowledge links preloaded.
356
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000
If expertise is external, the system opens the door.
357
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Teams escalation with context injected.
358
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The expert doesn't join blind.
359
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
They read the compressed timeline and decide fast.
360
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Escalation becomes a controlled bridge, not a panic sprint.
361
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Governance is not an afterthought.
362
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
It's the spine.
363
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Audit logs on every state change.
364
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Who touched what?
365
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
When? Why?
366
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Data retention aligned to policy?
367
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
PII controls enforced.
368
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Redaction on summaries if required.
369
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
DLP policies block exfiltration attempts.
370
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Roll-based access limits curiosity.
371
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
You don't want helpful downloads living in personal folders.
372
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Evidence stays inside the case boundary.
373
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
That's how you sleep.
374
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Security model matters because identity is power.
375
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Dynamics sits inside Azure AD.
376
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Conditional access applies.
377
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
MFA enforced.
378
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Leased privilege for agents, supervisors, admins.
379
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
If someone leaves, access evaporates at the directory.
380
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Tokens die.
381
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
No rogue logins from forgotten portals.
382
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
You remove the shadow login vector at the root.
383
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Continuity is daily resilience.
384
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Agents swap shifts.
385
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Cases don't lose memory.
386
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
You get handover summaries.
387
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Not novels, bullet truth, steps tried, steps pending, risks flagged.
388
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
The next human doesn't start from zero.
389
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000
That's how average handling time moves without managers preaching work faster.
390
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
The system carries the load between people.
391
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Knowledge management is attached to reality.
392
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
The knowledge management agent proposes updates from live patterns.
393
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Articles aren't sacred.
394
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
They evolve.
395
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Stale content gets flagged.
396
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
New issues trigger drafts.
397
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Review happens in flow, not in quarterly committees.
398
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Agents get tested verified answers in the thread.
399
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Not a wiki rabbit hole.
400
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Analytics aren't vanity.
401
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Topic clustering shows what's breaking right now.
402
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Spikes tied to product.
403
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Region, version.
404
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
You don't wait for angry volume to prove a trend.
405
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
You see the slope early.
406
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
You push fixes upstream.
407
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Customer service stops being a bucket brigade.
408
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
It becomes a sensor network.
409
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Omni-channel transcription and sentiment feed the loop.
410
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Voice becomes text.
411
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Text becomes signal.
412
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Escalation policies fire on tone as well as content.
413
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
VIP flags stack with negative sentiment to force human review.
414
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
But you don't learn about the meltdown from Twitter.
415
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
You intercept it in stream.
416
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Licensing and capacity live where the work lives.
417
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
A couple pilot rights bound to users who need them.
418
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
AI execution against data they're allowed to see.
419
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Telemetry shows utilization.
420
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
You don't buy blunt licenses in fear.
421
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
You size with evidence.
422
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Expand on measured lift, not vibes.
423
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
This is why place matters.
424
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Context, control, continuity.
425
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
One home.
426
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
One identity.
427
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
One audit trail.
428
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
The agents do the repetitive truth.
429
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Humans handle the edge.
430
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
The handoff is clean.
431
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
The record is clean.
432
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
The math is clean.
433
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
You already know the other option.
434
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Silas.
435
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Copy paste.
436
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Lost time.
437
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Lost trust.
438
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Don't do that.
439
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Put the agents where identity already lives.
440
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Let the system carry the weight.
441
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Let humans speak to humans.
442
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Three key value areas where the friction falls.
443
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Start with the friction you feel first.
444
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Self-service empowerment.
445
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Not a chatbot circus.
446
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Verified steps.
447
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Bound to identity.
448
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
When the agent reads a known problem, it doesn't stall.
449
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
It initiates a guided flow, targeted article.
450
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Exact actions.
451
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
If the device is registered, steps reference that asset.
452
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
If the entitlement covers replacement, the path includes it.
453
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
That means customers get real outcomes without touching a queue.
454
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
The proof?
455
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Deflection with evidence.
456
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Case created only when signals say human.
457
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
You remove the low value pings that drown your seniors.
458
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
And you stop teaching customers that email is the only door.
459
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Automated ticket creation.
460
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Nothing drops.
461
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
No field guessing.
462
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
No half-formed cases that rot in triage.
463
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Every intake has the right customer, asset, entitlement, category, priority, SLA.
464
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000
The SLA clock starts when intake is understood.
465
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Not when someone finally opens the email.
466
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Duplicates link, threads attach.
467
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
History stays whole.
468
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
That kills the silent breaches.
469
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Those hours where no one knows their bleeding.
470
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
And it makes dashboards honest.
471
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
You can plan staffing on real arrival times.
472
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Not when busy people finally clicked new case.
473
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Human escalation.
474
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
AI clears the noise.
475
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Humans do nuance.
476
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
That's the point.
477
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:59,000
When thresholds trip, low confidence, negative sentiment, a VIP tag, the system hands the case to a human with clarity.
478
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Summary tight.
479
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Attachments labeled.
480
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Next best action suggested.
481
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Policy references linked.
482
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And the team's ping includes context.
483
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
No fishing.
484
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000
No warm-up.
485
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
The human starts at the decision, not at the archaeology.
486
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Empathy and negotiation live here.
487
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Exceptions live here.
488
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Discounts.
489
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Replacements.
490
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Policy bends.
491
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
The work machines should never own.
492
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Quantifiable impact.
493
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000
H.T. drops because drafting, searching and data entry vanish.
494
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
The range you've seen is 25 to 40 percent down.
495
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000
First contact resolution rises because the right agent gets the right case with the right context.
496
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Numbers land in the 15 to 30 percent lift.
497
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Reopening's fall when summaries and knowledge are standard.
498
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
30 percent down isn't fantasy.
499
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
It's a function of fewer misses.
500
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
That compounding matters.
501
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Rework evaporates.
502
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Over time shrinks.
503
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Cost-particket moves for real, not by squeezing people.
504
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Manager outcomes.
505
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Fewer handoffs.
506
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Cleaner audits.
507
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Predictible staffing.
508
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Unified routing exposes bottlenecks.
509
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Capacity models get simple.
510
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
You can forecast.
511
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000
You can defend headcount.
512
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And when the auditor asks, why did you resolve this in four hours?
513
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
The evidence is in the case.
514
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
SLA applied.
515
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Steps taken.
516
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Customer responses logged.
517
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Redactions in place.
518
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
You don't argue memory.
519
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,000
You show the record.
520
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Now the pattern you'll feel after week two.
521
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The queue goes quiet.
522
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Not empty.
523
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Quiet.
524
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Spikes still arrive.
525
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
But they don't feel like threat.
526
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Because they root clean.
527
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Because self-service absorbs the trivial.
528
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Because agents see summaries, not walls of text.
529
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
That's the moment you stop firefighting and start improving.
530
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Topic clusters surface the next fix to automate.
531
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Knowledge agents propose the next article to patch.
532
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Each loop you close makes the next week lighter.
533
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Everything changes when you stop treating AI as a mascot
534
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
and treated as intake controls.
535
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Self-service where it's safe.
536
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Automation where it's repetitive.
537
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Humans where judgment lives.
538
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Friction falls in three places.
539
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Before the queue.
540
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
At the queue.
541
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
And at the handoff.
542
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
That's the entire game.
543
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
But talk is cheap.
544
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Watch it hold under load.
545
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Real-world example.
546
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
One day hundreds of emails.
547
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Retail ops.
548
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Anonymized.
549
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Hundreds of emails daily.
550
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Orders.
551
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Returns.
552
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Damaged shipments.
553
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Billing disputes.
554
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Baseline was ugly.
555
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Average handling time.
556
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
High bloated by manual drafting and tap switching.
557
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
First contact resolution week because routing misfired.
558
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Cost-per-ticket rising with overtime.
559
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Agents exhaust it leader skeptical.
560
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Day one with agents on.
561
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Email intake lands in a governed queue.
562
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
The system reads each message.
563
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Extracts product order ID customer identity sentiment urgency.
564
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
If the sender is unknown it attempts a match by domain and thread.
565
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Confidence scores applied.
566
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
No blind assumptions.
567
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Attachments get scanned.
568
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Photos of damaged goods are labeled.
569
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
PDFs OCR for order numbers.
570
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Categorization stops being roulette.
571
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Topic models waste subject, body, attachment, and prior resolutions.
572
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
My package didn't arrive no longer routes to technical.
573
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
It goes to logistics with delivery exception.
574
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Recognized from the tracking screenshot.
575
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Count log in triage distinguishes SSO drift from true credential resets.
576
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Warntie phrases trigger entitlement checks.
577
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Priority sets by contract not emotion.
578
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Tickets auto create with all required fields.
579
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Queue assigned by skills and capacity.
580
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
SLA bound to entitlement.
581
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Duplicates detected.
582
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Threads attached to existing cases.
583
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
No split histories.
584
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
No ghost cases.
585
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
The clock starts when the system understands not when a person notices.
586
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Copilot drafts acknowledgments and next steps.
587
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Tone aligned to brand.
588
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Links verify to the exact article section.
589
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Not a generic help home.
590
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Agents review and send in seconds.
591
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Replyse feel human because context is real.
592
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
That saves minutes per case multiplied by hundreds.
593
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
H.T. bends down without pep talks.
594
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Complex cases escalate.
595
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Cleanly.
596
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Safety terms. V.I.P flags.
597
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Low confidence.
598
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Or negative sentiment trigger hand over.
599
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Summary is concise.
600
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Timeline compressed.
601
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Attachments labeled.
602
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Policy queues highlighted.
603
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Teams ping fires to the right expert channel with case context embedded.
604
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
The senior doesn't ask what's the story.
605
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
They read the story and act.
606
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Follow ups run on policy.
607
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
If customers go silent.
608
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Nudges land at contract defined intervals.
609
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
If they respond the case reopens with context restored.
610
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
No duplicates.
611
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
No ownership drift.
612
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
When resolution criteria are met.
613
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
The case closes with clean notes.
614
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Evidence attached.
615
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Audit trail intact.
616
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Supervisors can scan 10 cases in 5 minutes and actually see reality.
617
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
After 4 weeks numbers move.
618
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Average handling time down in the 30% range because drafting and data entry disappeared.
619
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
First contact resolution up around 20% because routing got honest.
620
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Reopening down near 30% because summaries and knowledge consistency cut misses.
621
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Cost-particket followed.
622
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Over time eased.
623
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
New agents ramped faster because they read good summaries instead of raw chaos.
624
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
There's a softer shift.
625
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
The morning backlog stopped being a threat.
626
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,000
It became a plan.
627
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Spikes from a vendor defect showed up as a topic cluster.
628
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Managers pushed a targeted message to the self-service flow.
629
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
With the known fix.
630
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
The volume bent before customers called twice.
631
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
That's what proactive looks like when the system listens.
632
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Compliance didn't flinch.
633
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
P.I. Redaction ran on summaries.
634
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Data stayed in the record.
635
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Audit logs tracked every change.
636
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Retention applied.
637
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
DLP blocked exfiltration.
638
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Roll-based access contained curiosity.
639
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
When legal ask for the full trail on a dispute it took minutes.
640
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Not days.
641
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Did agents get replaced?
642
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
No.
643
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,000
They got space.
644
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
They handled edge cases.
645
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Negotiations.
646
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Exceptions.
647
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Campaigning for customers with real context at their fingertips.
648
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Atrition cooled.
649
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Satisfaction ticked up.
650
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
The queue felt fair.
651
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
The work felt like work.
652
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Not noise.
653
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000
That's one day.
654
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Hundreds of emails.
655
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Held.
656
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Not by heroics.
657
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
By standardization.
658
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Intake became honest.
659
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Routing became math.
660
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Handoffs became clean.
661
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000
You don't need a miracle.
662
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
You need a spine.
663
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Pitfalls to avoid.
664
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
The quiet ways it breaks.
665
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Poor data quality kills automation quietly.
666
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Dirty categories.
667
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Stale product lists.
668
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Missing entitlements.
669
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
The agent can't map to truth if your truth is rotten.
670
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Fixed the dictionary before you fix the flow.
671
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
No escalation roots means silent failures.
672
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Cases stall.
673
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
SLA burns.
674
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Angry callbacks appear days later.
675
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Map policy gates.
676
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Define who owns which exception.
677
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Why are the teams channels with context injection?
678
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Test the pings.
679
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Incorrect categories poison everything downstream.
680
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Wrong SLA, wrong KPI, wrong forecast.
681
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Train on verified labels.
682
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Lock the taxonomy.
683
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Freeze changes behind governance.
684
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Not ad hoc edits.
685
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Over automation is a trust leak.
686
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
You rush.
687
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
You ship brittle rules.
688
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Agents build shadow workarounds.
689
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Now you have two systems.
690
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
The official one and the one they actually use.
691
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Start narrow.
692
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Expand on evidence.
693
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Lack of human supervision kills learning.
694
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000
No feedback loop.
695
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000
No retraining signals.
696
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000
No audit trail.
697
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
You think the model gets smarter.
698
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,000
It doesn't.
699
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
It just repeats your initial bias.
700
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Set review cadences.
701
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Capture corrections.
702
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Close the loop.
703
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
PII risk heights in drafts, screenshots and exports.
704
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Redact before storage.
705
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Block downloads of evidence to personal devices.
706
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
DLP on.
707
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Retention enforced.
708
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Roll-based access tight.
709
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
You're one careless export from a breach.
710
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
One more fracture.
711
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Identity ambiguity.
712
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Unbound senders.
713
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Shared mailboxes.
714
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Vendors forwarding chains.
715
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000
If intake can't bind to an account or contact for the human gate with a summary.
716
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Don't guess the customer.
717
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
This is the pattern.
718
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Small leaks.
719
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Compounding damage.
720
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Fix them first or the agent just accelerates your mistakes.
721
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000
What you need to implement.
722
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Controls before speed.
723
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000

724
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Write the taxonomy.
725
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Define entities.

00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Version it.
729
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Guard it.

737
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000

00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Validation rules stop half cases.
742
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Deduplicate logic defined.
743
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Automation rules.
744
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Unified routing by skills.
745
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Capacity.
746
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Historical performance.

00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000
SLA targets.
748
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Acknowledgements with case numbers.
749
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Deflection flows with verified articles.
750
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Timers and exception paths wired.
751
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000

PII reduction default on.
767
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Governance focus.
768
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Common in the loop for low confidence negative sentiment.
769
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
VIP.
770
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
The escalation paths documented quality evaluation sampled at scale.
771
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Decisions traceable.
772
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Preed 60 90.
773
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Plan.
774
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
First 30.
775
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Stabilize intake.
776
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Clean taxonomy.
777
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Bind identity.

00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Wire acknowledgments.
779
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Measure A.H.T. baseline.
780
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Next 30.
781
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Calibrate routing.
782
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000

00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Start weekly feedback sessions.
785
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000

Retrain models.
789
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Harden DLP.
790
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
And retention.
791
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Report A.H.T.F.C.R.
792
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Re-openings versus baseline.
793
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Controls first.
794
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Then speed.
795
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
That's how you scale without inviting the fracture.
796
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
The truth is simple.
797
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
AI isn't replacing your agents.
798
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
It's deleting the backlog and binding identity.
799
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
So humans can make the real calls.
800
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
