  • 1.  Building a Scalable Agent Copilot Strategy: Lessons from a Fintech Operation

    Over the past months, we've been working on the implementation of Genesys Agent Copilot in a fintech environment, and I'd like to share some learnings from this journey.

    The Copilot rollout started with 20 agents in a chat and messaging operation, allowing us to validate the strategy, fine-tune configurations, and measure impact before scaling.

    Knowledge Base as the foundation

    We began with a strong focus on Knowledge Management, creating articles tied to the highest-volume customer contact reasons and gradually expanding to less frequent topics.
    This prioritization was key to ensuring that Copilot delivered relevant and actionable suggestions where they mattered most during live interactions.

    Predefined responses to support agent agility

    We configured predefined responses covering essential parts of the service script, such as:

    • Opening messages

    • Closing messages

    • Mandatory compliance communications

    This significantly improved agent speed and consistency during conversations.
    It's important to note that this approach complemented, rather than replaced, the native Canned Responses feature, which agents continued to use through its dedicated interface during interactions.

    Automated summaries integrated with CRM

    For interaction summaries, we implemented an automation using triggers and workflows to retrieve the Copilot-generated summary and automatically store it in the customer case/occurrence within the company's CRM.
    This eliminated the need for agents to manually document the interaction, freeing up time and reducing after-contact work.

    Tabulation optimization and accuracy

    We also conducted a deep review of disposition codes:

    • Removed obsolete and redundant options through a tabulation "hygienization" process

    • Applied a Pareto analysis to retain clear and objective descriptions covering ~80% of interactions

    This restructuring significantly increased the accuracy of Copilot's tabulation suggestions, improving both data quality and agent confidence.

    Measurable operational impact

    With all these actions combined, the operation achieved a reduction in Average Handling Time (AHT) from approximately 15 minutes to around 9 minutes.

    Scaling and expansion

    Once the process was stabilized, Copilot was expanded to 100% of chat and messaging agents, followed by the rollout to voice operations, applying the same best practices validated earlier.

    Today, this fintech operates with Copilot enabled across all customer-facing positions, using it as a core component of agent support and operational efficiency.

    It's also important to highlight that none of these results would be possible without strong agent adoption and engagement.

    From the beginning, we understood that Copilot is only effective if agents truly incorporate it into their daily workflow. To support this, we implemented a custom gamification model using Genesys data related to individual Copilot usage per agent.

    Based on these insights, we created a ranking focused on Copilot adoption and usage, and the top 3 agents with the highest engagement were recognized and rewarded.
    This approach proved to be a key success factor, significantly increasing engagement, adherence, and trust in the Copilot recommendations.

    By combining technology, process optimization, and people engagement, Copilot moved beyond being just a feature and became a natural part of the agent experience.

    I'd love to hear from others in the community:
    What insights or best practices have you applied when using Agent Copilot in your operations?
    Looking forward to exchanging experiences and learning how we can continue evolving this approach together.

    Hey Mateus,

    I've moved your post to the Genesys Cloud - Main community. Hopefully the Community can learn from your story, as well as share what they've done as well.

    Hello Mateus,

    Thank you for your experience sharing.

    I'm referring about reduction in Average Handling Time (AHT) from approximately 15 minutes to around 9 minutes : do you have the differentiation between Talk Time reduction (thanks to Agent Assit) and After Call Work especially related to Call Summarization ?

    Already thanks,

    Olivier

    Hi Olivier,

    Great question - thanks for asking.

    We don't have an exact numerical split between Talk Time and After Call Work reduction, but the AHT improvement came from a combination of factors, especially considering this was implemented in chat/messaging operations, not voice.

    During the interaction itself, we saw clear gains from predefined responses and Agent Assist, which significantly reduced the time agents spent typing and searching for information. This helped streamline the conversation flow and made responses faster and more consistent.

    On the post-interaction side, automatic summarization played a major role. The AI-generated summary is automatically inserted into the external CRM, which drastically reduced manual wrap-up effort and eliminated repetitive after-chat tasks for agents.

    So rather than a single driver, the reduction from ~15 to ~9 minutes was achieved through an end-to-end optimization, combining faster in-conversation handling with a much lighter after-interaction workload.

    Happy to share more details if helpful.

    Best regards,

    Hi @Mateus Nunes,

    Thanks for sharing your success story! I am a Product Manager at Genesys and we are making some updates to the Agent Copilot Performance Dashboard in particular adding the ability to filter by Copilots as well as queues and the ability to do a comparison on those in order to calculate Average Handle Time (AHT) and After Call Work (ACW) on the Copilot/Queue using Copilot and the Copilot/Queue not using Copilot to show the reduction in time.

    I am interested in finding out what did you compare, e.g. the same queues, different queues, single or multiple Copilots, did you filter by agents, did you need to do anything to ensure it was a fair comparison, e.g. make sure the number of interactions were balanced. It would be great to find out more about how you calculated this so we can keep this in mind when updating our dashboard.

    Thanks,

    Nicola

    Hi Nicola, thanks for reaching out - happy to share more context 😊

    In our case, the comparison was designed to be as controlled as possible, since our goal was to isolate the impact of Agent Copilot on AHT and ACW.

    How we compared:

    • We used the same queues, splitting the analysis between:

      • interactions handled with Copilot enabled

      • interactions handled without Copilot

    • This allowed us to avoid differences in contact type or queue complexity.

    • We worked with multiple Copilots, always within the same operational context.

    Agents:

    • We did not restrict the analysis to a single agent, but we ensured that:

      • the same pool of agents was used across both scenarios

      • Copilot rollout was gradual, which naturally created a comparison group

    • This helped reduce bias related to agent seniority or skill level.

    Ensuring a fair comparison:

    • We compared data over the same time window, after the initial Copilot learning period.

    • We validated that the interaction volume was balanced between both groups.

    • We focused on the same interaction types to avoid skew from simpler or more complex contacts.

    Metrics calculation and data source:

    • We built custom reports, leveraging Genesys Cloud APIs to extract interaction-level data.

    • We used the same underlying data that feeds the consolidated Copilot view in the Genesys UI, but extended it externally to enable deeper analysis.

    • This allowed us to slice the data more precisely by:

      • queue

      • agent

      • interaction

      • Copilot usage vs non-usage

    • AHT and ACW were calculated using average values, with basic outlier validation, and trends were monitored over time rather than relying on a single snapshot.

    Overall, the key for us was keeping the operational context identical and letting Copilot usage be the main variable.

    It's great to hear that these comparison and filtering capabilities are being added to the Agent Copilot Performance Dashboard - this would directly support the kind of analysis we currently have to build through custom reporting.
