Use Cases

Core Telco Use Cases

Balance & Data Checks

The single highest-volume query for any telco. Customers check airtime balance, data remaining, and bundle expiry via WhatsApp or phone — instantly, in any language.

Often 40–60% of all inbound queries

Data Bundle Purchases

Customers browse, select, and purchase data bundles through a conversational interface. No USSD menu navigation required. The AI confirms the purchase and sends a receipt.

Conversion rate 2x higher than USSD

Network Issue Reporting

Customers report network outages, slow data, or call quality issues. The AI triages, logs the complaint, provides a reference number, and escalates critical issues to network operations.

First-contact resolution for 65% of network complaints

Plan Upgrades

Guide customers through plan comparison and upgrades. The AI understands their current plan, recommends suitable options, and processes the upgrade — all within the conversation.

Upsell completion 30% faster than call centre

Moving Beyond USSD


USSD

Numeric menus, limited text, session timeouts, no history. Works anywhere but frustrating to use.
