What happened

SafeRide Health uses a PolyAI-powered dialog agent named Steven to handle inbound member calls for non-emergency medical transportation, including authentication, booking, cancellation, modification, and flex ride activation. The agent was upgraded from an intent-based model to agentic AI to better understand natural speech.

Now three years into the partnership, the impact is visible across every part of SafeRide Health's operations. There has been a 15% increase in success rates across all call flows and a 20–30 second reduction in average handling time.

It's very challenging to scale humans in a call center with a 40% a year growth rate. That's a lot of new CSRs to hire, with associated training costs and quality requirements. That's why we had to look for a new way.
