Challenge at Hand

The success of a virtual world like Second Life, a popular online game, depends on how users, known as Residents, interact with the world and with each other. Each time a Resident faces an issue, their focus is taken away from Second Life to search for a solution.

 

  • Reduced user engagement caused by the need to search for answers, especially within a knowledge base as large as Second Life’s.

  • Need to offer the fastest and most accurate customer support possible.

  • Enhance UX and reinforce customer support while making Residents not necessarily wait for a support ticket.

How Haptik Offered a Solution

Boxy 5000, a chatbot for the website, was built by Haptik to allow agents to focus on high-value queries and deliver a consistent user experience. Haptik’s proprietary ML module analyzes historical chat logs and categorizes them based on user inquiry. The highest volume inquiries were handled one-by-one, creating a simple conversation flow for users and allowing them to self-serve.  The Linden Lab bot helped - 

 

  • Automatically create a support ticket, report issues with other users, reset password and get answers to FAQs.

  • Customize privileges based on user status, such as whether they were a premium or non-premium user.

  • Get live support for tier one customers and offer on-demand support.
