Happy Throwback Thursday!
A recent deployment of a Virtual Agent integrating with a troubleshooter got me thinking about the progression of troubleshooting and how it has enhanced over the years.
Circa 2010, noHold created a modem troubleshooting Virtual Agent that incorporated the knowledge from top modem providers...a sort of all in one Virtual Agent. It would be a place for consumers to go to find problems with any of their devices. This product was directed toward telecommunication companies by providing them with a way to support their consumers know matter what company their modem is from. For example, if someone is having a problem with their modem, they can type to the Virtual Agent, "I am having problems with my modem," and the Virtual Agent would respond with a list of modem brands for you to pick the correct model. This Modem Troubleshooter was made possible by Confederated Knowledge. Here is a screenshot of the modem troubleshooter powered by noHold.
In today's market, a global leader providing digital products, services and solutions, including industry-leading laptops, tablets, HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc™ and media streaming products and much more integrated Virtual Agent technology with their troubleshooting solution.

The Challenge: The company built a flash troubleshooting solution, but noticed many users abandoned the tool, and they did not know why.
The Answer: A Virtual Agent! They added an “Other” option to the flash troubleshooter where end users can type in the issue in their own terms. This launches the virtual agent, which can report on the user queries AND provide solutions.
Here's a sample of how the troubleshooter offers the Virtual Agent as an option.
Whether a Virtual Agent is being used as a troubleshooter or a compliment to leverage troubleshooting, it is a great asset to any company's customer support program.
Cheers!
