AI for Good Innovate for Impact



                           speech-to-text model transcribes the separated speech into text for each individual, which
                           serves as input to LLM. 
                      •    Customer profile visualization and intent recognition: Hui Xin performs semantic
                           understanding and extracts key information, such as customer’s phone number. By
                           using this phone number as input field, the AI agent automatically calls the customer
                           information query Application Programming Interface (API) from backend systems and
                           displays the customer profile to the service representative for enhanced customer insight.
                           Concurrently, Hui Xin autonomously identifies the customer’s service intent from the real-
                           time conversation. It automatically opens the corresponding system interface and may
                           reduce average customer waiting time by 10%.
                      •    Telecom products recommendation and gold-standard sales pitch generation: After
                           identifying the customer's service intent, the smart assistant dynamically recommends
                           relevant telecom products and generates a gold-standard sales pitch to guide the service
                           representative in customer marketing. The average marketing success rate of service
                           representatives has increased by over 30%.
                      •    Instant retrieval and recommendations of telecom service knowledge:  Based on the
                           progress of the conversation between the service representative and the customer,
                           smart  assistant  also  provides  real-time  prompts  about  product  details  or  solutions
                           based on dialogue context. Representatives may additionally perform Retrieval-
                           Augmented Generation (RAG) searches for specialized queries [2]. This supports service
                           representatives in better answering customer questions, especially important for the
                           novices.
                      •    AI-powered autonomous orders filling: After successful marketing, it may proceed to the
                           system order placement phase and service representatives are no longer constrained
                           by the tedious tasks of the traditional GUI interface, such as extensive manual mouse-
                           clicking to select information and keyboard typing to input customer details. Hui Xin
                           extracts critical information from the conversation and, integrated with Robotic Process
                           Automation (RPA), autonomously populates order forms in the system interface. This GUI
                           form-filling paradigm frees up 20%-30% of sales representatives' time for high-value tasks
                           such as customer communication and marketing, cuts key process error rates by over
                           50%.

                      2�2     Benefits of the use case


                      The Smart Assistant enables the creation of an inclusive work environment where all staff at
                      business halls, including novices and individuals with manual dexterity impairments, can receive
                      comprehensive AI assistance. And, the entire process eliminates the need for staff to manually
                      operate cumbersome systems, allowing them to focus on high-value tasks such as customer
                      engagement, marketing, and communication. This ensures that staff can consistently deliver
                      high-quality telecom services without errors. The initiative aims to create more income and
                      employment opportunities for all staff at business halls, including novices and individuals with
                      manual dexterity impairments, thereby advancing decent work and economic growth.


                      2�3     Future Work

                      In the initial phase, the smart assistant for telecom business acceptance has been deployed
                      on the computers of two China Telecom service halls and demonstrated the ability to support
                      a work environment where all service representatives at service halls, including novices and
                      individuals with manual dexterity impairments, can deliver error-free, high-quality telecom
                      services consistently. Subsequent phases plan to expand the deployment to an additional 100
                      service halls, with gradual nationwide deployment to all service halls in the future.
