• Abstract summary: AdaCoach is designed to simulate real customers who seek help and actively initiate the dialogue with the customer service agents. It uses an automated dialogue evaluation model to score the performance of the customer agent in the training process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first system that trains the customer service agent through human-computer interaction.

• Abstract: With the development of online business, customer service agents gradually play a crucial role as an interface between the companies and their customers. Most companies spend a lot of time and effort on hiring and training customer service agents. To this end, we propose AdaCoach: A Virtual Coach for Training Customer Service Agents, to promote the ability of newly hired service agents before they get to work. AdaCoach is designed to simulate real customers who seek help and actively initiate the dialogue with the customer service agents. Besides, AdaCoach uses an automated dialogue evaluation model to score the performance of the customer agent in the training process, which can provide necessary assistance when the newly hired customer service agent encounters problems. We apply recent NLP technologies to ensure efficient run-time performance in the deployed system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first system that trains the customer service agent through human-computer interaction. Until now, the system has already supported more than 500,000 simulation training and cultivated over 1000 qualified customer service agents.

  We introduce CRMArena, a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on realistic tasks grounded in professional work environments. We show that state-of-the-art LLM agents succeed in less than 40% of the tasks with ReAct prompting, and less than 55% even with function-calling abilities. Our findings highlight the need for enhanced agent capabilities in function-calling and rule-following to be deployed in real-world work environments.

  We propose AgentCF for simulating user-item interactions in recommender systems through agent-based collaborative filtering. We creatively consider not only users but also items as agents, and develop a collaborative learning approach that optimize both kinds of agents together. Overall, the optimized agents exhibit diverse interaction behaviors within our framework, including user-item, user-user, item-item, and collective interactions.

  Customer experience plays a critical role for a profitable organisation or company. One way to improve customer experience is to optimize the functionality of its call center. We formulate the customer-agent pairing problem as a machine learning problem. A proposed learning-based method causes a significant improvement in performance of about $215%$ compared to a rule-based method.
