The Challenge

The organization faced increasing pressure to efficiently respond to the wide-ranging needs of their guests, from inquiries about parking and ski school to dining and amenities. Customer service teams were overwhelmed by the high volume of repetitive questions, often resulting in longer wait times and reduced guest satisfaction. This created a gap in the overall experience, as guests expected quick, personalized, and accurate responses but instead encountered delays that affected the seamlessness of their visits.

The Solution

To address these challenges, an AI-powered chatbot was developed as a virtual resort guide. This generative AI solution provided guests with instant, personalized answers by drawing information from existing digital content and knowledge repositories. The system included an intelligent document search capability to ensure accurate responses and a simulated escalation flow for inquiries requiring human intervention. By offering round-the-clock support, the chatbot improved self-service options, reduced guest dependency on live agents for simple queries, and freed up staff to focus on complex, high-value interactions. This enhanced efficiency not only improved guest satisfaction but also created a strong foundation for scaling AI-driven service experiences in the future.

The Result

Faster Response: Guests received instant answers, significantly reducing wait times and improving overall satisfaction.

Enhanced Self-Service: The chatbot empowered guests with accurate information, reducing reliance on customer support representatives.

Operational Efficiency: Automated handling of repetitive queries freed staff to focus on complex service needs.

Scalable Foundation: The proof-of-value established a roadmap for broader AI-driven service deployment across operations.
