You can now use Expert tags to filter KB answers. To do this, configure the AGENT ASSIST action in your Studio script with lists of tags. You can configure two kinds of tag lists:

  • Custom tag list: Agents can select tags from a custom tag list to filter KB answers. You can specify up to five custom tag lists per Copilot for Agents profile.

For example, if the Copilot for Agents profile is specifically for agents helping customers with bank accounts, you could configure a standard tag list with the tag for bank account. From there, you could configure a custom tag list to allow agents to select between checking account and savings account.

This filtering helps Copilot for Agents focus on the information that's applicable to the contact.

In this release, you can create your own prompt templates to control the structure and flow of the prompts created with them.

The template creation form includes a large text area where you can enter the prompt details. It also includes parameters you can enter. These support two options: either letting prompt creators customize prompt details in the prompt while they use the template or letting you refer the prompt creators to special entities within the GenAI Prompt Editor. The parameters include: 

  • String: Lets the prompt creator enter a string of text. You give each string parameter a name and default value. For example, you could name a String parameter Persona and give it a default value of contact center agent. The prompt creator can change the value of the string.

  • Selection: Lets you create a list of options for the prompt creator to select from. For example, you could create a Selection called Tone and provide options called Casual, Professional, and Friendly.

  • Special Entity: Lets you refer to the type of data being processed in the prompt. When you add a Special Entity to your template you need to select either Transcript, Summary, or Article. This will indicate to GenAI Prompt Editor the type of data the prompt creator needs to add to test the prompt. For example, you could tell the prompt, "Provide a brief summary of the following transcript between an agent and a customer." Since 'transcript' refers to the data being processed, it would need to be a Special Entity with Transcript selected. Now, when a prompt creator uses this template, it includes the Transcript tab and allow them to pull in transcripts to test the prompt on.

The ability to create custom templates gives you more complete control over the prompts used in your CXone Mpower products.

This feature will be available later in the release cycle.

Previously, when creating a presence rule, you mapped the states between CXone Mpower and Salesforce. You also assigned the presence rule to a team.

This could lead to a lot of manual work for enterprise organizations with many teams and unavailable codes.

A-Level Attestation Supported for STIR/SHAKEN

STIR/SHAKEN is a framework mandated by the United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC). It authenticates CallerID information, helping contacts have more confidence in identifying who is calling them.

This attestation level indicates to call recipients that the caller is both authenticated and authorized to use the calling number.
