Overview

Key Metrics & Impact

The client was a government service center handling large volumes of public calls about eligibility, required documents, office locations, status inquiries, deadlines, and next steps. Plavno implemented an AI voice hotline that answered recurring questions, guided residents to the correct service path, and transferred case-specific or sensitive calls to human staff when needed.

  • Lower repetitive hotline load on public service staff

  • Faster access to official service information for residents

  • Better consistency across common public inquiries

  • Improved support coverage during high-demand periods

  • Stronger digital foundation for voice-enabled citizen service delivery

Use Cases
<span>Key Metrics</span> & Impact
01

Problem

The service center handled a constant flow of calls from residents seeking help with applications, deadlines, forms, office details, and eligibility requirements.

Common challenges included:


  • Too many repetitive calls reaching live agents

  • Long wait times during filing periods and deadlines

  • Inconsistent answers across teams and shifts

  • Staff time consumed by routine informational questions

  • Limited phone support coverage outside core hours


The agency needed to improve resident access to information without scaling hotline staffing for every surge in call volume.

Problem
02

Challenge

The platform needed to:


  • Answer routine resident calls through natural voice interactions

  • Ground responses in approved government content

  • Support multiple service categories and call intents

  • Avoid unsupported guidance in sensitive cases

  • Escalate complex or case-specific situations to human staff

  • Integrate with service directories, FAQs, and agency information sources


There were also important constraints:


  • The assistant had to remain understandable for a broad public audience

  • The solution needed guardrails around legal, eligibility, and case-specific issues

  • Public trust and consistency were critical

  • Call logs and automation behavior needed oversight by internal teams
