class="xn-location">MINNEAPOLIS</span></span>, <span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-chron">April 9, 2024</span></span> /<a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/" target="_blank">PRNewswire</a>/ -- <b>Cloud Next '24, <span class="xn-location">LAS VEGAS</span> -- </b>Best Buy, Google Cloud, and Accenture today announced a new collaboration that will involve deploying generative AI (gen AI) to greatly improve the experience for Best Buy customers looking for support services.</p> <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> <p><a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1032194/Google_Cloud_Logo.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img alt="Google Cloud Logo (PRNewsfoto/Google Cloud)" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1032194/Google_Cloud_Logo.jpg" title="Google Cloud Logo (PRNewsfoto/Google Cloud)" /> </a></p> </div> <p>By leveraging Google Cloud's generative AI technology, Best Buy is creating new and more convenient ways for customers to get the solutions they need. This work will provide customers a self-service option, allowing them to find solutions more independently and will also allow Best Buy customer service agents to better serve customers by providing them with new tools that make interactions more efficient and personalized.</p> <p>It is anticipated that Best Buy's U.S. customers will be able to connect with a gen AI-powered virtual assistant for self-service support starting in late summer 2024. The assistant can help with things like troubleshooting product issues, rescheduling or combining order deliveries, or managing software, Geek Squad subscriptions and My Best Buy Memberships. Customers will be able to access all of these services while shopping on BestBuy.com, using the Best Buy mobile app, or calling the customer service line directly.</p> <p>In the coming months, Best Buy will also launch new gen-AI enabled capabilities for customer care agents to use while interacting with a customer across various internal platforms. These tools are designed to help reduce the mental workload for agents, allowing them to better focus on personally connecting with the Best Buy customer. During interactions between an agent and customer, these tools will also assess, recap the conversation, detect sentiment of the interaction, and provide agents with real-time, relevant and human-focused recommendations. The data from these calls will be used to ensure a positive resolution is reached for the issue at hand and to reduce the likelihood that similar issues will occur for Best Buy customers in the future.</p> <p>In addition to implementing tools to assist customer care agents, Best Buy will work with Google Cloud and Accenture to develop an AI-driven assistant specifically for its front-line employees serving customers nationwide. This assistant will aim to provide a broad array of solutions to support employees in stores with things like finding internal Best Buy company resources or pulling up specific product guides to help better serve a Best Buy customer.</p> <p>"These new gen AI-powered capabilities further enhance our commitment to deliver better, more personalized experiences to our customers by unlocking the power of people," said <span class="xn-person">Brian Tilzer</span>, Chief Digital Analytics and Technology Officer at Best Buy. "We are excited to leverage and tailor these innovations with great partners like Google and Accenture so we can continue to serve our customers in unique and differentiated ways and make our employees' jobs easier." </p> <p>"Retailers are increasingly tapping into gen AI to create more seamless customer experiences and empower employees with new tools to make their work more impactful," said <span class="xn-person">Thomas Kurian</span>, CEO, Google Cloud. "Our collaboration with Best Buy will help customers better interact with Best Buy's brand and services, and employees will also gain more sophisticated tools to assist shoppers."</p> <p><span class="xn-person">Julie Sweet</span>, chair and CEO, Accenture, said, "This collaboration further advances Accenture's longstanding commitment to helping Best Buy achieve superior shopper and employee experiences, optimize costs and create growth.
