Integration resolves user concerns proactively and more efficiently, increasing customer satisfaction while eliminating call center queries

Pypestream, the leading customer experience automation platform with all-in-one cloud messaging and conversational AI, announces its integration with the leader in global streaming media intelligence, Conviva. The joint offering delivers proactive customer experiences within digital conversational experiences through notifications, eliminating the need for customers to reactively call or email a call center. Sling TV uses the feature to provide customers with smart self-service solutions and always-on conversational brand experiences.

“Our integration with Conviva allows us to deliver true AI-driven customer experiences that help a business’s bottom line while exceeding customer expectations,” said Richard Smullen, CEO at Pypestream. “Customer service today is built on reactivity, but for the first time ever, Pypestream enables OTT service providers to proactively handle user concerns or service issues. Proactive initiatives are the future of user experience and, now, OTT brands can take another step towards fully automating all steps of their customer support workflow.”
