A Significant Improvement on Customer Service, Marketing Enablement and Management Capability through All-in-One Contact Center Solution

SINGAPORE, Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sobot, an all-in-one contact center solution provider, will launch its upgraded AI Agent this September. In preparation for this launch, Sobot has carried out a closed beta test over the past two to three months. This testing phase involved a carefully selected group of existing customers, who were given exclusive access to the advanced features of the AI Agent.

“We’ve enhanced our AI Agent’s capabilities in AI settings, working processes, and beyond,” said Leo Chin, Vice President of Product at Sobot. “The upgraded AI Agent will extend its functionality beyond online text dialogue to include voice calling and email ticketing systems. We are excited about this launch and invite everyone to look forward to its rollout.”

“All Customer Experience Embracing AI”

Embracing the motto “All Customer Experience Embracing AI” and holding true to the ‘Customer First’ value, Sobot remains dedicated to developing contact center solutions that significantly enhance customer experience (CX). The integration of AI into these solutions is a fundamental component.

“We’ve observed a comprehensive adoption of AI in all CX facets, which is why we have integrated AI so deeply into our solutions,” said Chin.

Over the past few years, Sobot has been actively exploring and deepening the applications of AI in intelligent customer contact, bringing great benefits in various aspects.

Customer Service: Sobot’s AI-powered chatbot and inbound voicebot can receive customers and answer their questions automatically based on the knowledge base, so that they don’t need to transfer to human agents.Marketing: Sobot’s AI-powered outbound voicebot can independently make phone calls to customers whose phone numbers are imported, and tag them according to their purchasing intention, thus significantly promoting active marketing.Management: Sobot’s intelligent quality inspection supports AI to conduct quality inspection automatically according to the set rules, and administrators can recheck the results, making quality inspection efficient and reliable.

Sobot’s AI Agent: Be your Baymax in Customer Service

Sobot’s AI Agent is an AI-powered bot that can independently provide automated services and support for customers. Supported by both NLP and LLM, the AI Agent offers much more advanced capabilities than traditional chatbots, which are solely based on NLP.

“Like Baymax, the personal health care companion in Big Hero 6, Sobot’s AI Agent can be your personal customer service companion. Sobot’s AI Agent is as intelligent, independent and versatile as Baymax.” said Chin.

More Humanized Communication

Sobot’s AI Agent is also equipped with better language understanding capability and logicality, making their dialogues with customers more natural and coherent. It can even play the designated role according to application needs and imitate different tones.

Efficient Knowledge Base Operation

Sobot’s AI Agent can independently receive customers. It can extract Q&A pairs from the uploaded files intelligently and add them to the relevant knowledge base, reducing the operation and management costs of the knowledge base.

Great Multilingual Ability

With its great multilingual ability, Sobot’s AI Agent now can support international business smoothly. Its multilingual ability also contributes to knowledge base establishment—operators just need to establish the knowledge base in one language, then it can be used in other languages without further adjustment.

With Sobot’s AI Agent, enterprises can anticipate a 15%-35% increase in direct response rate, and a 5%-15% increase in answer accuracy rate. Additionally, the knowledge operation efficiency can be improved significantly, with an 80% reduction in the workload of knowledge base establishment and maintenance.

Renogy Witnesses Improvement in Customer Service with Sobot’s AI Agent

Renogy is a new energy company that focuses on technology innovation, product R&D and production. As a multinational company, its customers are located in over 30 countries.

Renogy, a multinational new energy company, turned to Sobot’s AI Agent after facing challenges with another provider’s chatbot, including a low direct answer rate, and independent reception rate. It was these factors that prompted the switch by the company to using Sobot’s AI agent.

Sobot’s AI Agent can intelligently learn the information in the files uploaded by Renogy. That means the AI Agent can answer questions not included in the knowledge base according to the files they learned. Also, with the AI Agent, human staff don’t need to manually add Q&A pairs into the knowledge base anymore, thus significantly reducing the operation and management cost of knowledge base.

With Sobot’s AI Agent, Renogy has seen a 35% increase in direct response rate and a 27% increase in response accuracy, and the knowledge base operation workload has been reduced by 90%.

Even with AI Agent Around, Humans Will Never Be Absent

There is no doubt that AI Agent is highly helpful to human agents in CX, but does that mean AI Agent will replace human agents one day? Sobot’s answer is a resounding no.

AI Agent and human agents play different but indispensable roles in customer service and CX improvement. Sobot believes the human touch carries the same importance as efficiency in customer service, something that can obviously only be performed by human agents. Therefore, Sobot’s AI Agent is designed to assist, not replace, human agents, and maximize efficiency in CX improvement by giving full play to their respective advantages.

“Just like Baymax, Sobot’ AI Agent is also created to assist humans as a companion, not to replace humans.” Chin said. “Our AI Agent will not be our ending point in our exploration of AI. While the AI Agent enhances CX, we are also developing AI Copilot and AI Analyst roles to further support human staff.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
