Amazon has added ready-made scorecards to Amazon Connect Customer, its customer service product. Managers no longer have to build an evaluation form from scratch to start scoring how agents handle customers. The scorecards work for human agents and for AI agents.
What changed
Amazon calls them evaluation form templates. They are meant to cut the time it takes to set up automated reviews of agent performance. Three templates cover common situations:
- Customer service
- Inbound sales
- Self-service
Each template checks the behavior of both human and AI agents. The customer service one, for example, asks, "Did the agent show empathy toward the customer's issue?" Templates also include questions about business results, such as customer satisfaction and attrition risk. That lets managers see how agent behavior lines up with those results.
Managers can use a template as is or change it before turning it on.
Availability and what is unknown
The feature is available in eight AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). A Region is a location where Amazon runs its computing.
The announcement does not say what the templates cost. Pricing for Amazon Connect Customer is listed on Amazon's pricing page. It also does not say how many questions each template holds.
The takeawayIf you use Amazon Connect Customer, the new templates let you start scoring human and AI agents quickly, then adjust the questions to fit your team.
