At Futr AI, our main goal is to assist organisations in reaching unprecedented levels of customer satisfaction, through the implementation of our innovative, AI-led, chat solution. Our cutting-edge platform provides solutions to service teams across various sectors, including charities, police forces, housing associations and leading retailers. In this blog post, we will delve into the details of our company, highlight our award-nominated work, and share testimonials that reflect the significance of this nomination for our team.

Our Award-Nominated Work:

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, gaining recognition for our contribution to the industry by providing revolutionary technology that brings about a meaningful impact is an honour. We are thrilled to be shortlisted as finalists for this award, for the positive impact our tech solution has had on Campaign Against Living Miserably’s(CALM) operations.

CALM is a registered charity that stand against suicide, extending a helping hand to those urgently seeking mental health support. In conjunction with their helpline and live chat, which operates from 5pm until midnight every day, they offer a webchat service, powered by Futr AI. The webchat service grants user’s access to support around the clock, 24/7. During moments of such critical crises, the need for immediate and continuous assistance is paramount and can be lifesaving, which is where our solution comes in. The integration of our chatbot into CALM’s operations, has provided essential aid to the charity’s users, delivering them with prompt and comforting support precisely when it is needed the most.

What differentiates our technology is its fusion of technical innovation and profound empathetic comprehension, providing users with human-like assistance using cutting-edge technology. Under the guidance of mental health professionals, the chatbot’s tailored conversational flows have been crafted to ensure that every interaction is empathetic, meaningful, and effective. Additionally, to provide CALM’s users with a feeling of guidance and instant alleviation, our chatbot offers personalised direction answer types to guide users towards the most fitting resources based on what they require. To ensure users feel a sense of comfortability to communicate their need of help, a fundamental aspect of our technology is the embedded gamification of the chatbot. This is a pivotal feature that is in place to make the communication process a much more engaging experience. With the nature of assistance required being so critical, ensuring response times are well-managed and fast is of the utmost importance. We made it a priority to warrant efficient responses to CALM’s users, and so we optimised our infrastructure and achieved an impressive average response time of 1.1 seconds. The implementation of the Futr AI chat services resulted in considerable improvements to CALM’s operations. The integration saw enhancements in waiting times, outreach, and user satisfaction, vividly illustrating the significant influence of our solution. Queue times were reduced by an incredible 71%, the chatbot assisted an increase of 35% of individuals served monthly, and there was an overall user satisfaction increase by 25%. Our solution has showcased technological excellence, revolutionising user experience within such a socially crucial domain, like suicide prevention.
