What is Anna and how does it work?
Anna is a virtual agent developed by Holland America Line using Microsoft Copilot Studio. It acts as a digital concierge on the company's website, providing personalized support to new and existing customers as well as travel advisors. Anna handles thousands of conversations weekly and is designed to assist with booking new cruises, adding services to existing bookings, and answering a wide range of general questions.
How does Anna improve customer support?
Anna improves customer support by providing 24/7 availability and addressing a diverse array of customer inquiries with natural language, similar to a live agent. This has led to a strong resolution rate and is expected to reduce the number of basic informational queries directed to contact center agents, ultimately streamlining the customer journey.
What are the future plans for Anna?
Holland America Line plans to expand Anna's capabilities by integrating additional features such as booking excursions, spa services, and drink packages. The agent will also be introduced in markets outside the United States, including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with market-specific information to enhance the customer experience throughout their journey.
