Innovative travel consultation with a speech-to-speech agent

In conversation

What the real-time voicebot can do

Missing alt text

A caller contacts the travel consultation service because she needs an extra suitcase for her upcoming trip to Japan. During the conversation, several issues come up at once:

  • Extra luggage

  • Import regulations

  • A possible trip in the fall

A speech-to-speech agent takes over the consultation and handles all three issues in the same conversation. The following three steps demonstrate how this works in detail.

Part 1

Listening, understanding, and reacting

Missing alt text

The caller would like to book an additional piece of luggage for her trip to Japan. The agent asks her for her date of birth – but in the middle of the conversation, she remembers something else and jumps to two new topics before providing the information.

  • Continuous rather than step-by-step processing of the audio stream: listening, speech comprehension, and responding occur simultaneously

  • The agent allows the caller to interrupt and switches topics with her without losing the thread

  • Automatic tracking of new requests – even when several are mentioned at once

Shortly afterward, the caller provides the information – the agent confirms her identity and continues with the original request.

Part 2

Completing tasks and switching languages

Missing alt text

While the additional piece of luggage is being entered into the system in the background, the conversation continues as usual: The caller asks about import regulations for food items she would like to bring with her – and spontaneously requests an answer in Japanese.

  • Simultaneous access to knowledge sources without interrupting the conversation

  • Language switch in the middle of the conversation: Agent responds in native Japanese

  • Summary of the response in German upon request

Part 3

Resolving or handing over seamlessly

Missing alt text

Finally, the agent brings up the third issue on its own – one that the caller had only mentioned in passing at the very beginning: a possible trip in the fall.

  • Proactively addressing the topic without the caller having to ask specifically

  • Structured consultation with targeted questions about the travel dates, climate, and interests

  • Suggestions for suitable destinations based on a web search

  • For more complex cases: Seamless handoff of the gathered information to a human representative

The conversation ends without any of the three concerns being overlooked.
