TELUS and RingCentral, Inc. today announced they are expanding their partnership to bring advanced AI capabilities to TELUS Business Connect, a comprehensive cloud-based communication platform. With new AI capabilities that span both customer engagement and employee productivity, the platform will deliver intelligent automation that helps businesses work smarter and serve customers better.
Business Connect replaces traditional phone systems with a cloud-based business phone system that transforms how businesses connect and collaborate by bringing calls, messages, and meetings together on one unified platform.
As businesses navigate increasing customer expectations and competitive pressures, AI-powered communications have become business-critical. The expanded Business Connect platform addresses this shift with AI features specifically designed for the realities of businesses, such as automating routine tasks, enhancing customer interactions, and delivering actionable insights without requiring technical expertise.
Business Connect’s AI-powered capabilities from RingCentral include:
- AI Assistant (RingCentral AVA): Provides real-time assistance across interactions, turning every live conversation into action through context-aware guidance, automation, and insights
- AI ReceptionistTM (RingCentral AIR): An AI phone agent that understands caller intent, answers common questions with personalized responses, schedules appointments, and transfers calls to the best destination, based upon context and directory
- AI Insights (RingCentral ACE): Delivers data-driven sentiment analysis to help sales teams improve performance through intelligent coaching
- AI Chat: Engages customers through real-time website messaging, enabling live support teams to instantly respond to common questions and focus on more complex conversations
