Meet Ali, Altair Global’s AI-Powered Virtual Assistant
Through Ali, Altair Global harnesses the power of generative AI to support relocating employees at any moment with questions about their policy and benefits, thereby enhancing the personalized experience provided by our exceptional Consultants.
At Altair Global, we are never satisfied with the status quo – especially when it comes to the customer experience. Hence we have built Ali, here to support our delivery of best-in-class relocation journeys for our customers (our clients’ relocating employees) and exceed our customer’s expectations with speed and flexibility.
Get to know Ali: Her name fuses “Altair” with “AI” – a statement to generative AI-driven innovation. Ali is a virtual assistant available 24/7 through the STAR Customer Portal. Customers can gain instant answers to basic questions about their specific relocation policy and benefits, such as how to book travel, learn housing options, and understand expense reimbursement processes.
Thanks to Ali, our dedicated Altair Consultants can now focus even more on complex and situational inquiries to deliver a more efficient and tailored experience. The Consultant has visibility to chats (including AI-generated chat summaries and translated responses to English if the chat was conducted in another language) to monitor and provide further expertise as needed. In this way, we can utilize innovative technology to enhance the customer experience, which remains driven by the Consultant.
