What happened
Tripadvisor built a branded AI voice agent called Vesper on Cognigy AI Agents within its NiCE CXone platform. It greets callers in natural language, captures intent, verifies identity, tries to resolve post-booking queries, and hands off to a human agent with full context when needed.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Cognigy and Tripadvisor, not ours.
- 71 percent“The deployment is already returning a customer sentiment score of 90 percent against the 71 percent recorded when human agents handle the same interaction types.”
- two and a half months“took the system from concept to first live calls in two and a half months”
- 20 to 30 percent“Tripadvisor projects that 20 to 30 percent of post-booking call volume will flow through Vesper by mid-summer”
- 75 percent“with 75 percent containment anticipated on that subset of calls as the platform scales”
The deployment is already returning a customer sentiment score of 90 percent against the 71 percent recorded when human agents handle the same interaction types.
After deploying our first iteration, two and a half months from a standing start, we had an external peer review of our Cognigy Agent. The feedback was that what our team of 8 had achieved was beyond what they’d managed in three iterations, over 18 months, with a team of 45.
