    Here are some frequently asked questions about Predictive Routing, along with their answers to help you better understand this feature. 

    Does running Benefits Assessments consume my AI Tokens when GPR is enabled?

    No. Benefits Assessments are free for all customers and do not use any AI Tokens.

    AI Tokens are only consumed when GPR is actively enabled on a queue and an interaction is routed through GPR. If an interaction does not route via GPR—for example, due to a timeout or when running in comparison or value-monitoring mode—no AI Tokens are used.

     

    Has anyone used GPR with customers to optimize Next Contact Avoidance (NCA)? How can we set a baseline, like we do with AHT?

    Unlike AHT, where we can establish a baseline from historical queue data, NCA is not visible to customers outside of Predictive Routing. This means it’s not possible to measure a “before enablement” baseline for NCA. Currently, the recommended approach is to run a Business Assessment (BA) to determine if a queue is a good fit for NCA optimization. At this time, there is no standalone data available for customers to compare NCA results pre- and post-optimization.

    What type of queue is best suited for Predictive Routing? 

    We recommend running a Benefit Assessment to identify high-potential queues. Optimal conditions include: 

    • At least 90 days of historical interaction data 

    • More than four agents assigned to the queue

    Is Predictive Routing available in my Genesys Cloud instance?

    Predictive Routing is available in GC1, GC2, and GC3 with the AI Experience Bundle. It’s included by default in GC4.

    How can I test Predictive Routing?

    Predictive Routing is part of the AI Experience Bundle, which includes a 60-day free trial. Monthly tokens are also included for continued use. 

    What permissions are required to view Benefit Assessment evaluation results? 

    To run a Benefit Assessment, make sure you have: 

    • Routing > Assessment > All permissions 

    • Routing > Key Performance Indicator > View

    Why am I not seeing results in A/B Testing after a few days? 

    • Average Handle Time (AHT): Results begin immediately but become more meaningful after two weeks 

    • Net Conversion Rate (NCA): Results appear after a seven-day look-up period

    Can we optimize for custom KPIs with Predictive Routing? 

    Yes. Supported custom KPIs include sales conversion, retention, churn, and sale value. This capability is currently in beta. Learn more in the Resource Center article.

    What factors influence Predictive Routing decisions? 

    AI models calculate real-time agent scoring using: 

    • Past interaction history 

    • Available agent profiles 

    • Participant data 

    Learn more in the AI usage article.

    How does Predictive Routing impact agent workload?

    Predictive Routing can route more interactions to higher-scoring agents. Enable Workload Balancing to distribute volume more evenly. Learn more here.

    Can customers enhance Predictive Routing with external data?

    Yes. You can include external attributes as participant data to influence machine learning models in real time. 

    For predictive routing, with respect to AHT — will it look at AHT across queues for a given agent (CCR)?


    No. AHT as considered by predictive routing is typically contextualized within each queue rather than aggregated across multiple queues for a given agent (CCR). This means that when predictive routing ranks agents for a queue, it uses the agent’s historical AHT where relevant for that queue, not a global AHT score from all queues served by the agent.

    Does predictive routing take into account skill levels (i.e. prioritizing agents with full skills over those with “lower priority” skills) or do you need skill‑level reviews separately?

    Yes. Administrators can turn skill matching on or off for individual queues that are configured to use the predictive routing method. Skill matching allows your organization to include agent skill settings in predictive routing decisions for inbound interactions. Skill matching includes all non-language ACD skills associated to the members of queues that use predictive routing.

    Will we be able to run reports to see who is getting certain calls (i.e. to detect imbalances, training needs, etc.)?

    Yes. The Queue Performance Detail view in Genesys Cloud shows which agents are handling interactions, with metrics like answered calls, handle time, and transfers. You can drill down to agent level and filter by time, media type, or skills.

    For GPR-enabled queues, this view helps you see how predictive routing distributes calls across agents, detect imbalances, and spot where training or model adjustments may be needed.

    Could predictive routing potentially pull in quality evaluation scores(from managers) into the decision model?

    No. Quality evaluation scores are not consumed by GPR models automatically.

    Can you guard against the model favoring “too short” calls (i.e. does the model think 1–2 minute calls are optimal)?

    Yes. The predictive routing model scores agents based on how likely they are to achieve the selected KPI, not just on call length. For AHT, the model learns from historical patterns — it recognizes that extremely short calls (like transfers or misroutes) don’t represent true success and does not prioritize them.

    Thank you, we are testing GPR into the largest customer of my portfolio (Equatorial) and so far doing great 20 business hours saved already. It´s the first and main AI project for this customer, and the results will open doors to begin POCs with VA and Copilot.
