Calabrio Agent Assist, our agentic AI-powered workforce assistant, offers agents seamless conversational support for repetitive tasks like time-off requests, shift inquiries, and overtime volunteering.

Key capabilities of Calabrio WFI Agent Assist

No Tickets. No Delays. Just Instant, Intelligent Responses.

Agent Assist puts your agents in control of their scheduling. With natural, conversational self-service available on desktop or mobile, they can check shifts, request time off, swap schedules, or volunteer for overtime—all in real time and within policy.

Agent Assist is available to chat anywhere, anytime.

Agents Assist enables your contact center agents to ask questions and get instant, compliant, and context-aware answers for daily workforce scheduling needs. Unlike drop down options in most WFM agent portals, agents can ask more outside-of-the-box questions. For example, instead of asking, “Can I take Thursday off?” They can ask, “What’s the best day for me to take off in the next two weeks?”

Take Control with Trustworthy AI

Agent Assist is context-aware, policy-driven, and fully transparent. Agent Assist easily syncs with your WFM data, rules, and scheduling policies, no configuration needed. All actions are instantly validated against eligibility rules and permissions set by your admins and supervisors. Agent Assist adapts in real time, balancing agent requests with staffing needs, coverage, and company policies.

Promote transparency and fairness

GenAI explanations provide the reasoning behind every approval, denial, or change in easy-to-understand language. Even when a request can’t be granted, agents always know where they stand, thanks to clear explanations and suggested next steps that reduce confusion and boost adoption.

Scale Globally with Ease

Designed to fit seamlessly within today’s distributed contact centers, Agent Assist supports seamless interactions in 50+ languages. Going far beyond retrofitted “English-first” tools, our GenAI-powered copilot enables global consistency without sacrificing local flexibility.

Predictive Actions. Move from reactive monitoring to proactive action

Stop tracking multiple dashboards and hunting for anomalies. Detect issues, predict their impact, and get recommended actions all in real time—and all in one place—with Predictive Actions, our AI-powered assistant for contact center operations. Empower your analysts with a coach that flags what matters most, explains the costs, and fuels rapid action before service levels or Customer Experience (CX) are impacted.

Predictive Actions helps contact centers operate with greater agility, resilience, and control. It helps maximize utilization, enabling you to meet your service goals at a lower cost.

Key Capabilities of Verint WFI Predictive Actions

Activating this element will cause content on the page to be updated.

Your Early Warning System

Predictive Actions analyzes workforce performance and operational signals to identify early warning signs across service levels, occupancy, adherence, and forecast accuracy. Real-Time Analysts no longer have to monitor a screen with dozens if not hundreds of skills on multiple tabs. It is now compact and in a view that allows you to quickly understand which skills are at risk for the end of the day.

Predict impact before disruptions occur

In most WFM platforms, when schedules or forecasts change, you have to run a simulation to see the impact across the organization. AI-powered Predictive Actions continuously analyzes the data from the preceding intervals and runs algorithms against each remaining interval to calculate the predicted, end of day service level. When that predicted service level drops below target, an alert is created.

Real-time Insights for Intraday Teams

Gen AI-driven impact summaries provide real-time insights for intraday teams, giving an explanation of why a particular metric is off course. Typical causes of deviations include understaffing in specific intervals, low schedule adherence, or unexpected volume spikes. Real-time Analysts are alerted through a consolidated dashboard with all at-risk KPIs.

Take Faster, More Informed Actions

For each at-risk metric, Predictive Actions present AI-generated recommendations for actions that could mitigate the impact of deviations in volumes, agent availability, adherence, and more. Actions could include adjusting schedules and breaks, redistributing the workload, offering overtime, or triggering reforecasting.

Workforce Management Versus Workforce Intelligence: What’s the Difference?

Workforce Intelligence acts as an operational intelligence layer on top of existing Workforce Management (WFM) solutions, amplifying automation and delivering AI-powered insights.

Legacy WFM is rules-based and requires a lot of manual steps in order to build demand forecasts, optimize schedules, balance intraday workloads, and track performance. WFM Planners and Real-time Analysts spend a lot of time maintaining, updating and analyzing the solution to drive efficiencies and ensure service goals are met.

Workforce Intelligence builds on these capabilities, injecting Generative AI and enhanced automation into workflows to speed time to insights and action.
