AI for Service – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
AI for customer service refers to the use of artificial intelligence technologies to automate, enhance, or assist in delivering service-related help—like natural language processing and machine learning—to assist customers, resolve issues, and enhance overall support efficiency.
Many companies require specialized AI that is designed for complex service environments, which may have one or more of the following characteristics:
- Complex products like medical devices, industrial equipment, and high-tech devices that require technical expertise to service
- Extensive product catalogs which may include many types of products and models.
- Service across tiers: including field service, technical support, customer self-service, call centers, repair centers, and engineering
- Global teams operating across languages

Service AI solutions are used by various people, who engage with AI in different ways:
Service Leaders: At enterprise organizations, VPs and Directors of Service, Field Service, Service Operations, or Technical Support champion AI software solutions to enable frontline workers, increase CSAT, and reduce operating costs.
AI and Transformation Leaders: Some enterprises task AI committees and heads of digital transformation to lead AI strategy across departments. These teams may research, evaluate, and recommend service AI solutions that will help push forward their corporate AI strategy.
Field Service: Field service engineers and technicians use AI to get turn-by-turn guidance to resolve complex issues and more easily find information they need to do their job. By using AI, field service workers can access and share expertise across the organization.
Technical Support: Support teams with technical products use AI to help identify issues correctly, automate issue resolution where possible, and either identify the right answer or get guided step-by-step instructions to resolve more complex issues.
Call Center: Agents in call centers use AI to resolve issues as quickly as possible. In companies with complex products, this might involve guiding a technician or customer through a highly technical resolution with turn-by-turn guidance provided by AI.
Customer Self-Service: Where possible, companies use AI to “shift left” and enable customers to resolve issues on their own. This might be via a chatbot or search that provides the right answer to simpler, recurring issues.

AI accuracy is essential for teams servicing complex products, such as MRI machines, elevators, networking routers, or industrial equipment. Look for AI that is purpose-built for complex service environments, with 90% accuracy or higher. For example:
- NCR Atleos achieved 92% accuracy with Neuron7.ai
- TransLogic achieved 96% accuracy with Neuron7.ai
AI guidance for complex issue resolutions needs to be highly accurate to diagnose and resolve issues effectively. Accuracy is also important for user adoption: if a service team member uses AI and gets a wrong answer, they are unlikely to use AI again.
