Meesho AI Voice Bot: Transforming Customer Support with Emotional Intelligence
Meesho, India’s leading social commerce platform, partnered with Wohlig Transformations Pvt. Ltd. to develop and deploy an advanced AI voice bot capable of handling comprehensive customer support scenarios through natural, human-like voice interactions. The solution achieved 40% latency reduction, 85% customer satisfaction, and delivered $150,000+ in annual savings.
Project Overview
Meesho sought to revolutionize its customer support operations by replacing a rigid, high-latency system with an intelligent AI voice bot that could understand customer emotions, adapt conversations dynamically, and provide seamless support across multiple scenarios. The project aimed to deliver human-like interactions while significantly reducing operational costs and improving customer experience.
About Meesho
Meesho is India’s leading social commerce platform, enabling small businesses, individual sellers, and home-based entrepreneurs to sell products through social channels like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. The platform focuses on:
Primary Market: Tier 2/3 cities and rural customers
Customer Base: Cost-conscious, value-seeking, mobile-first users
Product Focus: Affordable fashion, home goods, electronics
Value Proposition: Low barrier to entry, handling logistics, payments, and returns
The Challenge
Meesho’s previous customer support system faced several critical limitations that impacted customer experience and operational efficiency:
High Latency: Average response time of 1.3-1.5 seconds, creating frustrating delays in conversations
Robotic Interactions: Monotonous tone with no emotion recognition, treating all customers the same
Repetitive Responses: Script-following approach led to repetitive statements within conversations
High Operational Costs: Multi-stage pipeline requiring significant computational resources
Limited Flexibility: Inability to handle dynamic customer intents and seamlessly transition between scenarios
Poor Customer Satisfaction: Only 62% satisfaction rating, with high escalation rates
The Solution: AI-Powered Voice Bot with Emotional Intelligence
Wohlig Transformations implemented a comprehensive AI voice bot solution leveraging Google Cloud’s cutting-edge technologies to deliver natural, emotion-aware customer interactions.
