Becoming Another Channel People can Access noHold Virtual Assistants
August 31,
2016, MILPITAS, CA – noHold Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform now supports Cisco
Spark, making it possible for Spark users to leverage a Virtual Assistant
directly from within a room.
Spark is a
leading collaboration platform designed to “create secure, virtual rooms where
teams work together from anywhere.” (newsroom.cisco.com) Using Spark’s open APIs, noHold was
able to build a connector that enables users to find answers to their questions
directly from the room interface. For example, if a user has a question while
working in a room that already has a Virtual Assistant added, all they have to
do is mention (@) the Virtual Assistants handle name in the text box along with
the question. The Virtual Assistant will appear within that same chat window,
and respond accordingly. Adding a Virtual Assistant to a room is as easy as
adding a human. Simply look up the name of the Virtual Assistant and click add.
Integrating
Virtual Assistants (chat bots) into collaboration rooms to intelligently answer
user queries adds value for the platform. Customer problems vary and often
require different skills to resolve different issues. The power of
collaboration platforms is that all the appropriate resources to fix those
issues can be found within the same room. Virtual Assistants are an important
resource to provide because they are available 24/7, users can access a
tremendous amount of information and answer questions on their own terms.
Moving
forward, the process to create a Virtual Assistant with noHold’s platform will
become more and more intuitive. Diego Ventura, CEO and founder of noHold says, “It
is noHold’s objective to make sure that our Virtual Assistants work through as
many pertinent channels as possible such as voice, SMS, Facebook, Alexa and
certain collaboration platforms like Cisco Spark.”
To hear more
of what Diego has to say on Virtual Assistants, he will be speaking at the
Peggy Smedley Institute on Sept. 9th in San Diego, CA. To register,
