"Traditional 'Press 1' IVR menus prevented natural interactions, making task completion harder, and frustrated users by the time they even reached a representative.
As the lead conversational AI designer on my projects, I redesigned legacy systems by mapping detailed user journeys, call flows, and sample dialogues, guiding users through each intent. This transformed static menus into dynamic conversational experiences with AI prompting, improving call containment (over 70%) and enabling users to complete full call cycles smoothly and intuitively (conversion rates up to +12% per year)."
