Khoros Service Fresh Features episode 5

Khoros Staff

Welcome to our latest Khoros Service product release, featuring improved GenAI capabilities and improved CRM integrations. 

Let's explore how these innovations can strengthen your digital customer service strategy.

GenAI Capabilities

Foundation models

Additional GenAI foundation models are now available in Khoros Service to assist with GenAI response configuration. You can cater to your model preferences by utilizing Gemini Pro 1.5, OpenAI GPT4, or Anthropic Claude.

Dynamic replies

Get the best of both worlds for bot control and improved outcomes through Gen AI with this new feature for dynamic replies. This capability enables you to configure traditional flows with controlled intents and topics, with the additional option to create a trigger fallback to your Khoros GenAI knowledge base when a topic or intent is unknown. The bot will generate a reply using the knowledge from the GenAI repository while staying within the controlled settings.

Dynamic replies

Personas

With our newly developed Persona Management within Helix, configuring and managing multiple bots and knowledge sources for various use cases (such as order management, returns, or products and services) is easier than ever.

Persona Management lets you configure and manage GenAI personas by selecting the type (this could be a bot or agent assist), the prompt template, and the knowledge source.

Khoros Flow

Facebook public replies

In the past, it was difficult to configure varied bot responses for Facebook public mentions. Now, with this update, you can add multiple bot response variants for public mentions on Facebook, using a single ‘trigger event reply’ to initiate it across multiple flows. With multiple added variants, each time the same or similar question is detected, Flow will randomly send one of your predefined responses. Essentially, it’s a varied bot response to similar questions so that it won't look like a spam bot.

Quick replies

Quick replies are now more consistent with how buttons work in Flow. Enhance your analytics data for quick replies by measuring button clicks with IDs or labels, triggering additional flows, and adding parameters or tags.

Trigger enhancements

We made a small but powerful improvement to Flow Triggers, which your automation designers will appreciate! Previously, you had to add an event, which then triggered the flow. Now, we support triggering flows directly when an intent is detected.

CRM integrations

Manual case creation

Agents can now manually create CRM cases from Khoros Care conversations, sending only relevant posts to Salesforce rather than synching all posts.

User Mapping

We’ve added the ability for admins to map their agents' emails in case there is a discrepancy between their CRM and Care. This ensures that the Care iFrame is displayed correctly when used in Salesforce.

You can also now customize your brand experience even further and enhance mapping between your CRM and Care platforms with additional CRM field types, such as Multi-Picklists and Dependent Fields.

Autofill rules

When our customers make product enhancement requests, we listen, and that’s how this capability came about! Autofill functionalities can now populate post-level data into Salesforce objects generated from Care.

Additional updates

Brand messenger

Your team can now speed up development and simplify ongoing maintenance of mobile applications with React Native mobile SDKs for Brand Messenger. This feature enables developers to craft high-quality mobile applications that use a single codebase to deploy seamlessly across iOS and Android platforms.

Log exports

Simplify reporting for auditing and compliance purposes with change log exports – now available in Care.

What’s next?

Analytics 2.0 Coming Soon!

Gain more control over your data, particularly how you sort and filter it, with our next generation of analytics, coming to a widget and dashboard near you!

Filtering, widgets, and dashboards

With these brilliant new features, you’ll be able to add tags and filters without creating a smart view. You can also filter by widget or dashboard view and add smart view filters at the widget level to prevent any conflicts between the new filters.

You will also be able to filter analytics at the source-account level and channel level without relying on Smart Views and Source Tags as we do today. The new source filter will let you sort and filter by either account, channel, or both.

Stay tuned for our next Fresh Features episode, where we introduce innovative features that make managing customer experience easier across all touchpoints — regardless of entry, need, and cadence.

In the meantime, if you’re interested in learning more about the fantastic new features in this blog, please don't hesitate to reach out to your customer success manager or book a demo to learn more.
