What happened
Virgin Media O2 uses a Sierra-built AI voice agent to handle selected routine broadband fault calls, rolled out gradually. This frees human advisors to focus on complex or sensitive issues.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Sierra and Virgin Media O2, not ours.
The new AI voice agent will be introduced gradually, initially supporting customers with routine broadband fault calls which represent a small proportion of total call volumes.
This is about supporting our people, not replacing them. By using AI to help with routine journeys, we can give customers faster support where it makes sense, while freeing up our advisors to focus on the complex, sensitive and human moments where their expertise and experience make the biggest difference.
