What's your typical implementation process?
Every Call Stream AI implementation is customized, meaning no two setups are exactly alike. However, most implementations follow a standard process outlined below:
Week 1-2: Discovery & Planning
- Kick-off Meeting: Introduction of project teams, confirmation of goals, timelines, and communication protocols
- Requirements Gathering: Detailed collection of call flows, business rules, FAQs, and knowledge base requirements
- Technical Assessment: Evaluation of existing systems, integrations needed, and data connections
- Data Collection: Aggregation of historical call data, customer interactions, and common scenarios
- Implementation Plan: Development of detailed project plan with milestones, dependencies, and responsibilities
Week 3-4: Development & Initial Configuration
- Knowledge Base Creation: Building and populating the AI knowledge foundation
- Voice Persona Development: Selection and customization of voice characteristics and conversational style
- Call Flow Mapping: Designing conversation trees and decision points
- Integration Setup: Establishing connections with required systems (CRM, POS, etc.)
- Initial Configuration: Base setup of the Call Stream AI platform for your specific business needs
Week 5-6: Training & Testing
- AI Training: Teaching the system through your historical data and specific scenarios
- Test Script Development: Creation of comprehensive test cases covering common and edge scenarios
- Internal QA Testing: Rigorous testing by Call Stream AI quality assurance specialists
- Client User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Supervised testing by client team members
- Performance Benchmarking: Establishing baseline metrics for system performance
- Refinement: Iterative improvements based on testing feedback
Week 7-8: Deployment & Launch
- Final Adjustments: Implementation of changes from UAT feedback
- User Authorization: Formal client sign-off on the AI bot capabilities and performance
- Training: Client team training on management interface and reporting tools
- Soft Launch: Limited deployment to a controlled subset of calls/interactions
- Performance Monitoring: Close observation of initial live interactions
- Full Deployment: Complete system rollout
- Handover: Transition to ongoing support and management structure
Post-Launch Support
- 30-Day Hypercare: Intensive support period with rapid response to any issues
- Performance Reviews: Weekly reviews of system performance against KPIs
- Continuous Learning: Ongoing AI model improvement and knowledge base updates
- Quarterly Business Reviews: Strategic assessment of performance and future enhancements
- Scaling Support: Assistance with expanding to additional departments or use cases
