How We Build AI Customer Service for the Loop
Configuration for Loop businesses starts with an inquiry taxonomy. The professional audience of a LaSalle Street law firm asks different questions than the event planning audience of a State Street hotel or the member audience of a Michigan Avenue professional association. We build the inquiry taxonomy for each client by reviewing historical inquiry logs, conducting interviews with the staff who handle inquiries, and identifying the twenty to forty question types that account for the majority of incoming contact.
Answer development and approval is the governance step that ensures the AI provides accurate, professionally appropriate responses. For a law firm on LaSalle Street, answers about practice areas, attorney credentials, and the firm's intake process are reviewed by the firm's marketing and intake teams before the AI is trained. For a financial firm on Wacker Drive, answers about investment minimums, account types, and advisor credentials are reviewed against the firm's regulatory compliance requirements. Nothing goes live without approval.
Escalation design reflects the professional context of each Loop business. A law firm's AI does not attempt to provide legal advice. A financial firm's AI does not make investment recommendations. The escalation conditions that route inquiries to human professionals are designed with the professional responsibility obligations of the Loop's regulated industries in mind.
