Elevating Customer Experience from 'Good' to 'Excellent' Through Comprehensive Support SINGAPORE, Dec. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sobot hosted its annual customer conference in Singapore this December, where customers from various industries gathered to share their experiences and success stories. During the event, Co-founder and CEO Yi Xu unveiled Sobot's new 2025 service standards, underscoring the company's commitment to moving beyond 'good' service and setting a new benchmark for 'excellent' service. The Significance of Service: Mutual Benefits for Customers and SaaS Enterprises "As AI continues to revolutionize the customer experience, service has become a critical differentiator for businesses," said Xu. "For Sobot, AI and service function like two essential arms–both are indispensable to staying strong. In the fiercely competitive SaaS industry, Sobot seeks to enhance customer experience while driving business success through service, emphasizing the potential for excellent service to generate customer loyalty, repeat purchases, and word-of-mouth recommendations. Recent data from Gartner shows that 82% of customers are more likely to repurchase or renew if they receive real value during service interactions. Also, 77% of customers surveyed noted they will recommend a company after a positive experience; an invaluable source of brand advocacy and free marketing for SaaS businesses. "Providing good service not only means being responsible for our customers, but for SaaS enterprises themselves," added Xu. Listen to the Voice of Customers A core principle at Sobot is that customers are the ultimate judges of service quality. To ensure ongoing service improvement, Sobot gathers feedback and hosts a yearly customer conference designed to foster open communication and two-way interaction. During the 2024 customer conference, the head of an international luxury traveling retailer shared a notable story about his impression of Sobot's services: "We requested a system function feature upgraded over the weekend, and Sobot delivered a solution by Monday morning. Previously, our former provider took up to six months to resolve a similar problem, but Sobot accomplished it in just one day!" Although Sobot has received high praise from multiple industries, the company continues to innovate and enhance its service offerings in line with its "customer-first" and "strive for excellence" brand values. "The annual customer conference has already become a Sobot tradition," noted Xu. "By listening to real feedback and suggestions, we gain crucial insights to keep improving our services." Upgrade Service with Sobot's Comprehensive Customer Support At the conference, Yi Xu also unveiled the company's new 2025 service standards, which aim to deliver more comprehensive customer support to enhance the overall customer experience across three key pillars. Product Support Sobot believes that great products are the foundation of excellent service. By integrating all customer contact products into a unified, AI-powered cloud platform, Sobot ensures reliability and convenience for businesses to receive customers across all channels. The platform also supports multilingual capabilities, a significant advantage for businesses aiming at expanding internationally. Human Support While AI technology may automate many processes, Sobot believes that human agents bring irreplaceable empathy and personalization to customer interactions. That is why Sobot's professional Customer Success Team is always available. With their rich experience and expertise in various industries, Sobot Customer Success Team provides customized assistance and solutions based on each client's unique needs. This accessible human support helps resolve issues quickly and effectively, improving customer satisfaction and retention. Operation Support Sobot's doesn't end with product delivery—the company offers comprehensive operation support at every stage throughout the partnership: During pre-sale, Sobot experts provide professional consultation to help assess customers' business context and suggest targeted industry-specific solutions. During the implementation and delivery stages, Sobot developers can assist with product deployment. And Sobot operators can provide remote or on-site training, as well as relevant documentation to ensure agents, support engineers, and administrators can adopt the platform smoothly. For after-sales, the Sobot team continues to offer quick issue resolution and maintenance of knowledge base, as well ensuring the stability of the entire platform. Transform from Good Service to Excellent Service Sobot already boasts a 96% CSAT and 78% NPS, with inquiries typically answered within 24 hours. Still, the company remains determined to go further. "We're proud of our reputation for good service," said Xu, "but our goal now is to become excellent. We'll keep holding our annual customer conference, listening to customer feedback, and refining our approach. We believe this is the best way to continue redefining service standards in our industry."
BEIJING, Dec. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1949, pioneering computer scientist Edmund Callis Berkeley envisioned a future filled with thinking machines in his book Giant Brains, or Machines That Think. Decades later, his vision has become a reality with artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping industries, societies and daily lives.  Promoting Global Solidarity Through AI The progress however, is far from straightforward. While AI excites people with its potential, it also raises questions about ethics, safety and its impact on human life. Recently, Science and Technology Daily hosted a panel discussion, "Tech with Heart, AI for Good", on how AI empowers life and bridges human limitations but also needs guard rails to ensure it remains under control. Omnipresent AI AI is reshaping the way we live, work and interact with the world. For Zeng Yi, a professor at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and an expert of the United Nations' high-level advisory body on AI, the motivation to advance AI technology lies in its potential to liberate humans from repetitive and labor-intensive tasks. "Combining AI with robotics allows us to redirect human energy toward more creative and meaningful pursuits," Zeng said. He highlighted how AI-powered robots are stepping into hazardous fields such as firefighting, disaster relief and space exploration. Lunar rovers equipped with advanced AI capabilities are conducting complex analyses on the moon's surface — tasks too risky for human scientists. Besides industrial applications, AI is making a significant impact on environmental conservation such as tracking wildlife. AI's potential extends into our everyday lives as well. Gao Shaolin, an expert at Peking University Law and Artificial Intelligence Research Center, mentioned a recent road trip during which he drove 3,000 kilometers on highways without coming across a single traffic accident. "This is extraordinary," Gao said, attributing the improvement to advancements in AI-driven safety features in modern vehicles. From fatigue-monitoring systems in trucks to self-driving technologies in electric cars, these innovations are drastically reducing the likelihood of accidents. However, both Zeng and Gao agreed that AI should not aim to replace humans but rather enhance human expertise and efficiency. AI can amplify human capacity, leaving room for creativity and innovation. Responsible AI As AI continues to evolve, responsibility becomes a critical issue. Zeng quoted Berkeley, who wrote, "It is often easier for scientists to create a device than to guide it well afterward." Berkeley urged innovators to think beyond breakthroughs and address potential risks. The question of accountability becomes central. Who will be responsible for any problem caused by AI? "AI is not an independent legal entity," Gao emphasized, pointing out that current AI systems are tools rather than autonomous entities. The responsibility for their actions lies squarely with their developers, service providers and users. "AI should be as intelligent as necessary, but it must remain under human control," Gao stressed. As Zeng put it, "The key is ensuring AI coexists harmoniously with humans, not as a competitor but as a collaborator." Wu Baojun, executive deputy secretary-general of the Association for Science and Technology of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the rapid advancement of AI must be accompanied by efforts to ensure its reliability and safety within ethical frameworks. "Our research in AI," Wu said, "aims to explore unknown territories, eliminate human fears and make AI more reliable." Reliable AI China has consistently demonstrated a forward-thinking approach to AI development, balancing technological innovation with social and ethical considerations. As Matt Sheehan from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace wrote in an article, "China is in the midst of rolling out some of the world's earliest and most detailed regulations governing artificial intelligence." In 2017, China released the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan to encourage diverse AI methodologies, such as deep learning, knowledge-based reasoning and large-scale modeling. The plan also emphasized ethical governance, with over a dozen references to social and legal challenges. In May 2019, it was followed by the Beijing AI Principles, which set out clear guidelines for AI research and development, advocating respect for privacy, human dignity and human rights. These visions were strengthened in July 2024 when the 78th UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution proposed by China and co-sponsored by over 140 countries. The resolution emphasized the human-centered development of AI, international cooperation, and promotion of AI to benefit humanity as a whole. Zeng said China's AI strategy reflects a responsible and inclusive approach: "China's AI development strategy is not limited to promoting domestic economic growth. They aim to empower humanity and promote sustainable development goals." Shared AI principles AI governance has become a global priority with nations striving to ensure that technology develops responsibly and inclusively. "We analyzed global AI ethics guidelines and found that 95 percent of the topics are consistent across countries. Concepts like human-centered development, transparency, fairness, safety and privacy protection are widely endorsed," Zeng said, adding that nations worldwide largely agree on the foundational principles for AI ethics and governance. In 2023, the Bletchley Declaration on AI safety was signed by 28 countries and the European Union. This marked the first broad agreement on the importance of AI safety as a global issue. In 2024, the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence was adopted unanimously by all member states, which is another example of the global consensus. China is playing an active role in promoting international cooperation on AI governance. "AI must empower all nations, not just the technologically advanced ones. We should guide AI for good with collective efforts and shared responsibilities," Gao said.
