CSAT 85%: how Parque Arauco achieved 24/7 service with generative AI

EMA, the AI agent of Parque Arauco, serves shopping centers in real time. Here is how the implementation went, the challenges and the results.

Reference image: a visitor checking her phone in a shopping center in Santiago

A shopping center receives all kinds of questions at all hours: opening hours, stores, parking, events, lost and found, services. Multiply that by several shopping centers and you have a customer service challenge that can hardly be solved with people alone.

That was the starting point for EMA, the Parque Arauco AI agent built on Databot.

The challenge

  • High volume and high variety of queries, different at each shopping center.
  • Constantly changing information: new stores opening, seasonal events, special hours.
  • An expectation of immediate response from visitors who often write while they are at the mall.

The solution: an agent with context

EMA is not a decision tree. It is a generative AI agent that:

  1. Knows each shopping center, thanks to a knowledge base that the Parque Arauco team can update without relying on developers.
  2. Understands the intent behind the question, even when it is written informally or incompletely.
  3. Hands off to a person when the case requires it, along with the conversation context.

Results

“With generative AI, we achieved 85% customer satisfaction and 24/7 responses across all touchpoints.”

— Felipe Misle, Head of Corporate CX, Parque Arauco

  • 85% satisfaction (CSAT) in the conversations handled.
  • 24/7 coverage across all touchpoints.

What we learned

  • The knowledge base is the product. The quality of the answers depends directly on how up to date and clear the information is.
  • The CX team should own the agent. Being able to adjust instructions and content without an IT project speeds up continuous improvement.
  • Measure from day one. Per-conversation satisfaction makes it possible to quickly spot which topics need more context.
