Configuring a virtual assistant based on conversation data in a data-communications server system
May 27, 2021 - 8x8, Inc.
In one example, a server system interfaces with a plurality of remotely-situated client entities to provide data communications services. The system uses processing circuitry to access an archive of voice data indicative of transcribed audio conversations between a client station and another station participating via the data communications services. Archived voice data includes keywords associated with at least one intent or at least one topic of the transcribed audio conversations. The system identifies keywords and/or identified contexts in a message (e.g., text-based message) received by a text-based virtual assistant, and correlates the text-based message with at least one intent or at least one topic by matching keywords from the archive of digital voice data with the identified keywords from the text-based message. The system may automatically configure the virtual assistant associated with the remotely-situated client entity to address the received text-based message, based on the correlation.
