IntelePeer integrates with Microsoft Azure OpenAI service
Through its collaboration with Microsoft Azure OpenAI service, IntelePeer introduces AI-powered SmartAgent™ to automate over 80% of customer interactions.
IntelePeer, a provider of AI-powered communications automation, has enhanced its platform by integrating with Microsoft Azure’s OpenAI service. This integration incorporates OpenAI's GPT technology into their communications automation platform and intelligent virtual assistant, SmartAgent™. The integration aims to improve customer service by automating a majority of customer interactions, thereby increasing operational efficiency and streamlining customer experiences.
Frank Fawzi, CEO of IntelePeer, stated that with this integration, their platform now automates over 80 percent of customer voice and messaging interactions. He believes this integration is just beginning to explore the potential AI holds for communication automation and customer service.
“Through this collaboration, we aim to capitalize on the enhanced power of our platform embedded with Azure’s generative AI to entirely transform the customer experience by providing a personalized interaction in a human-like manner. This is merely the tip of the iceberg of the impact that AI will deliver to communications automation and customer service.” Fawzi explained.
Ali Dalloul, VP of Azure AI, emphasized the benefits of this partnership. “By working with Microsoft Azure, IntelePeer can significantly accelerate its generative AI innovation while streamlining AI model management. Coupled with the safety measures both companies have in place, IntelePeer will be able to bring solutions to market faster while giving their customers peace-of-mind knowing security levels are in place to safeguard their proprietary information.” he highlighted.
The Azure-based large language model enhances SmartAgent's multi-lingual capabilities and allows for dynamic, style-adjustable responses, making interactions more natural for consumers. As a result, issues such as prolonged hold times are becoming obsolete, replaced by efficient, first-time resolutions.

Gartner® predicts that by 2025, 80 percent of customer service and support organizations will utilize generative AI technology to enhance agent productivity and customer satisfaction. Azure's AI tools provide a framework that enables IntelePeer to deploy its SmartAgent with confidence, focusing on crucial aspects like accuracy, security, and data privacy.
