    customer service frustration

    Why AI customer service is especially important right now

    Customer experience is all about service and speed. When people have to wait on the phone or can't reach anyone at all, it costs reputation and revenue.

    An AI assistant automatically answers simple and recurring questions. Think about placing or changing reservations, questions about invoices, route information, outages, orders, status updates, and other frequently asked questions.

    For entrepreneurs, this is a huge time saver. Your colleagues won't have to keep answering the same questions, giving them more time for the customers who truly need a personal conversation.

    The result is a customer service that operates more calmly and professionally, performing better than ever.

    Direct answer via phone and chat

    The AI customer service of HeyFred works on every channel . Many companies start with telephone support, because that seems logical. But is that really the case? More and more customer service communications occur via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. With our AI assistant, you can easily manage all channels. When customers call, they get Fred on the line, but you can also use the assistant for chats via WhatsApp or Messenger.

    When customers call, they immediately get someone on the phone who fits your company - without any waiting queue. This can be a male voice, a female voice, or your own voice, which is cloned for a recognizable experience.

    If a customer prefers to message? Then they can send a message at any time, even in the middle of the night or on a holiday. The AI assistant responds in real-time and provides the correct information immediately. As a result, customers do not have to wait for your team, but receive an instant answer.

    AI customer service calling messaging

    No more waiting times.

    Never miss an opportunity again.

    One of the greatest frustrations for customers is waiting. A long queue, illogical and lengthy choice menus, or a phone that is not answered at all directly costs trust. Fred answers all calls as soon as the phone rings. There is no waiting time, no choice menu, and no chance that a call goes unanswered.


    When your team is available, the call can be transferred if necessary. This makes customers feel as if you are always reachable, even when your business is closed or when your staffing is tight.

    Always reachable.

    Also during holidays & vacations

    Many entrepreneurs struggle to remain reachable during holidays. Staff want time off during Christmas, New Year's, national holidays, and days off. The result is that calls are often forwarded to voicemail, and the company is not reachable.

    However, customers expect you to be available, especially in sectors such as hospitality, hotels, wellness, and online shops.

    The AI customer service from Fred operates without breaks, without days off, and without extra costs for working during holidays or late shifts.

    This way, you are always reachable. No compromise, even during holidays and vacations. You have peace of mind, but your customer is still optimally assisted.

    • status updates on orders 
    • availability of rooms or tables 
    • information from an internal manual 
    • forwarding messages to a department
    • Information about invoicing 
    • Helping with malfunctions or frequently asked questions based on wikis and knowledge bases 

    This makes the assistant really a part of your organization.
