Admin Assistant AI Demo

# Thermal Thrillers #### AI Customer Service Demo

**What:** The Thermal Thrillers AI demo is a versatile programmable AI assistant for a service business. Its digital employee, who weve nicknamed Rachael, can answer the phone and complete a number of surprisingly complex administrative tasks. **Why:** Administrative tasks at service businesses are an excellent test case for the power of AI combined with programmable telecom. Todays off-the-shelf LLMs can reliably handle tasks that meet the following criteria at a level meeting or surpassing human agents: - Repetive and well-defined - Administrative and scheduling - After-hours The Thermal Thrillers AI demo directly addresses one of the most common administrative pain points experienced by service businesses: Scheduling and customer communication are often performed manually, over the phone, by office staff with other responsibilities. Inefficiencies and bottlenecks inherent to this process result in poor customer experience, whether caused by long wait times at peak hours, inability to reach the office outside of business hours, or data entry errors caused by the manual nature of the process. This status quo also creates unpredictable and often overwhelming workloads for administrative staff. **How:** This AI demo uses [SWML](https://developer.signalwire.com/sdks/reference/swml/introduction) (SignalWire Markup Language) in a **serverless context** to showcase how developers can quickly and easily build proof of concept applications. SignalWires tools and services streamline the otherwise complicated interfaces with telecom, LLMs, and TTS providers, freeing developers to build innovative products and bring them to market. ## How it works At SignalWire, we are pioneering the integration of advanced AI technology to revolutionize how businesses interact with customers.
