Large Language Models (LLMs) are shaking up how we handle data and knowledge, especially in the realm of customer support. According to a TSIA survey, 64% of support services organizations are gearing up to experiment with GenAI tech for faster root cause analysis in the next six months. But there’s a hitch: today’s LLMs often miss the mark when it comes to domain-specific knowledge for complex technical support and are prone to hallucinations—producing inaccurate or irrelevant information.
That’s where Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) comes in, allowing AI systems to use proprietary information securely alongside public data. Yet, the usual RAG setups have their flaws—poor answer accuracy, no training feedback loop, long training times, and hefty maintenance costs.
Enter SupportLogic, which has just announced its acquisition of xFind, a trailblazer in Precision-Guided RAG tech. This move is set to transform SupportLogic’s Support Experience (SX) management platform, making customer service more accurate and efficient.
What’s So Special About Precision-Guided RAG?
While LLMs are groundbreaking, they often lack the domain-specific know-how needed for complex tech support and are prone to hallucinations. xFind’s Precision-Guided RAG is a game-changer for handling tough technical queries. Its architecture delivers accurate, domain-specific answers, significantly reducing the time and cost of deploying and maintaining AI systems. In benchmark tests, xFind outperformed OpenAI’s ADA model, delivering 44% fewer wrong answers and 15% more correct answers for technical applications.
Meet Knowledge Copilot
With xFind’s tech in its arsenal, SupportLogic is launching Knowledge Copilot. This feature leverages Precision-Guided RAG to unlock the treasure trove of support knowledge hidden in complex interactions. Internal knowledge workers and external customers alike can now get precise answers quickly and easily, boosting the overall support experience. For instance support engineers can get instant answers to complex questions without having to do any keyword search. SupportLogic’s knowledge co-pilot automatically pulls information from all the relevant sources, compiles them and presents the most technically accurate answers natively within the CRM. Similarly knowledge workers within the company can ask questions in natural language via Slack and get instant answers.
Turbocharging Customer Support Efficiency
This acquisition is a big win for SupportLogic’s SX management platform. Integrating xFind’s tech means support teams can cut response times, enhance troubleshooting accuracy, shift more cases to self-service channels, and generally make customers happier. This fits right in with the growing trend of AI-powered customer support solutions, as highlighted by the TSIA survey.
Easy Integration and Better Knowledge Retrieval
xFind lets SupportLogic customers query any organizational data source—think CRM systems and knowledge bases—and get concise, accurate answers in real-time. This tech is low-maintenance and ready for production within hours. It also provides both implicit and explicit answers to support queries, much like a human expert who anticipates needs and offers relevant info proactively.
Privacy and Security: Top Priorities
SupportLogic is serious about data privacy and security. The platform is ISO-27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified and complies with GDPR and HIPAA regulations. Its virtual private cloud architecture ensures customer data stays siloed and secure, addressing key privacy concerns in enterprise settings.
A New Era for Customer Support
With xFind onboard, SupportLogic is leading the charge in transforming customer support operations. The ability to deliver accurate, context-aware answers quickly is set to become a major differentiator. Companies that adopt these technologies can expect big gains in operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Big names like Cvent, Checkpoint Software, Kaltura, and Checkmarx are already reaping the benefits of xFind, showcasing its versatility and effectiveness across various industries. These implementations show how seamlessly xFind integrates with existing systems, providing immediate value.
Turning Customer Support into a Strategic Asset
By bringing xFind into the fold, SupportLogic is not just improving support workflows—it’s turning customer support teams into knowledge powerhouses. These teams, armed with real-time insights and advanced knowledge tools, can deliver exceptional support and drive continuous improvement across the board. This acquisition underscores the crucial role of customer support in driving satisfaction and business success, turning it into a strategic asset.
As the industry evolves, SupportLogic remains committed to innovating and providing solutions that meet the ever-changing needs of enterprise support teams and their customers. The future of enterprise support is all about delivering precise, contextual answers when they’re needed most, and with xFind, SupportLogic is ready to lead this revolution.
