“We started small because the first thing they advise you with chatbots is: do not boil the ocean – you’ll drive yourself crazy! And that is absolutely correct.”
– Douglas Pamplin, BNY Mellon
Douglas Pamplin managed the rollout of BNY Mellon’s internal chatbot in July 2017. Since then, they have resolved more than 174,000 queries without the need for a human behind the help desk. How so?
