2025 is the year of AI—but not in the way you might think.
Contact centers across the UK are under pressure to integrate AI while juggling shrinking budgets, brand risks, and minimal tech support. But here’s the thing: AI doesn’t have to replace agents to make a real impact.
The smartest contact centers are putting AI to work behind the scenes—not as a deflection tool, but as an efficiency driver.
AI That Works for You, Not Against You
AI is at its best when it’s supporting agents, not replacing them. The real game-changer? Automating the repetitive, time-consuming tasks that slow teams down:
✅ Quality checks – Ensure compliance without manual reviews
✅ Instant summaries – Cut down handling times with AI-generated overviews
✅ Sentiment detection – Flag priority cases automatically
✅ Suggested responses – Help agents reply faster, without losing the human touch
With the average UK agent costing £17 per hour, making each minute count has never been more important. AI-driven automation can double productivity and slash cost-per-contact in half.
