Abstract

AI co-pilots utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) significantly enhance technical support by analyzing structured (tickets, CSAT) and unstructured (logs, chats) data in real-time to suggest solutions. This article details the data engineering pipelines and AI model integration required, demonstrating through e-commerce and finance case studies reductions in Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) (35-60%), increases in First Contact Resolution (FCR) (15-25%), and corresponding Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) improvements (10-20 points). The direct link between accelerated, accurate resolutions and higher CSAT is established.
