Generative AI at the service of RATP users

Challenge

Use of generative AI to streamline incoming contacts and enhance reachability

Anticipate and absorb peaks in customer service activity

Paris Olympics 2024

A few months before the Paris 2024 Olympics, the RATP wanted to offer the best possible user experience from all its websites and apps to welcome visitors, particularly foreigners.

Objectives:

Prevent bottlenecks in customer service and recover calls that can be avoided
Promote multilingual self-care
Responding to the greatest number of people with accuracy and precision

Project

DialOnce’s AI Agent

To meet this challenge, RATP's customer service chose to deploy chatbot: a conversational agent augmented by generative AI. RATP was won over by its ability to meet key expectations:

Orchestration of voice channels, whatsapp and forms
Accessible from multiple websites and apps
Handle a dozen macro intentions and a hundred spontaneous intentions
To be operational very quickly and agile enough to adapt to frequent changes in information, especially for the Olympic Games.

Numerous benefits were observed as soon as the IA agent was released:

Time savings: in less than 3 weeks the AI chatbot was in production
Relevance: answers are immediately available in multiple languages and personalized.
Great agility in adapting the chatbot to the needs of RATP's customer service department
Reduced number of incoming contacts

During the Olympics: A Chatbot to Simplify the Traveler Experience

During the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, DialOnce’s AI agent played a key role in managing the massive influx of visitors. Designed to quickly and accurately respond to thousands of inquiries, it was extensively used for topics such as:

Construction work and modified access: providing information on disruptions and alternative routes.
Transport tickets: fares, validity, points of sale, and usage conditions.
Event locations: access, recommendations, and practical information.
Assistance with issues: lost tickets, forgotten items, or other difficulties.

Thanks to its ability to handle these requests autonomously, the chatbot helped streamline communications while relieving pressure on customer service teams. The result: a simplified and efficient travel experience, even in such a demanding context as the Olympics. Travelers gained autonomy, allowing customer service agents to focus on cases requiring human assistance.

Perspectives

"In the future, we expect AI to be able to ask additional questions for a better understanding of the intention (...) for example, choosing a preferred mode of transport to suggest the best route. That's one of the reasons why we went for this type of product, because we think we're just at the beginning!"
