According to Vi Chau, head of product, Zoom Phone and Contact Center at Zoom, "Customer expectations have evolved — they expect seamless, personalized, engaging interactions across all touchpoints. With teams more dispersed than ever, creating connected workflows is key to delivering satisfaction to both customers and agents.” Zoom sees conversational AI as a pivotal integration, helping businesses build meaningful relationships with their customers.

Another innovation is the Zoom AI Expert Assist, which employs AI to adapt, listen and present real-time actionable suggestions to supervisors and useful customer information to agents.

A significant update comes with the addition of auto-generated bot flows and AI intent creation in Zoom Virtual Agent. These new tools facilitate the rapid development and training of Zoom Virtual Agent chatbots, eliminating the need for coding knowledge. Furthermore, Zoom has extended its channels to integrate with popular Meta digital messaging apps, WhatsApp and Messenger. This integration will enable brands to engage customers in environments they're already familiar with, potentially increasing long-term loyalty and expediting resolutions.
