Building with transparency

Web support site We recently released our companion web support site in addition to our in-game SDK. It is fully customizable to match your own look.One thing which we haven’t talked about much yet is our AI powered assistant which is also available on the web support site.

We map the intent of the player and give the best possible self-help, which can range from giving a short summary of what the player is looking for to asking more questions from the player before either automatically resolving the issue or directing the player to a support agent.

We’ll cover our AI assistant in more detail in a future update.We are also building an embeddable web self-help widget which we’ll tell more about soon!

Support Application & SDK

The end of June was likely the busiest we have ever been. We have heavily focused on new improvements to our SDKs, making it possible for gaming companies to build better deflection flows directly from our Support Application. Now, we have a wider variety of Android devices supported.

Knowledge base & Collector

We recently added new capabilities, allowing the integration of a powerful Collector element into knowledge base articles. This enables gaming companies to collect information from players before any tickets are created.

Support application

Troubleshooter

Players can get seamless help in-game with our interactive troubleshooter. Create automated flows that answer the most common inquiries, without ever creating a ticket. Players can rate their experience and we analyze each step that players make to provide meaningful insights and to iteratively improve deflection and player satisfaction even more. No need for guesswork.

Collector (formerly Forminator 3000™)

Create custom collectors to collect feedback, report bugs, gather information about a missing purchase before connecting the player with agent, and much more. You can create interactive experiences to the players. Give suggestions to users how they can solve their issue, only ask for the information that you actually need to solve the issue & automatically add tags and fields.

Over the past few months, we have been identifying the shortcomings of existing automation solutions and building our own approach to take automation to the next level. In today’s update, you can see a sneak peek of what we have been working on. With our troubleshooter, you can build automated flows to help players without ever having to create any tickets. Our automations are easier to maintain and more cost effective than traditional bots are.We have more cool automation features to highlight in future updates!

Support app

Added validations to field, tag and message template editors for better user experience. We also now persist information about deleted tags and fields so you can still see how they were used in old conversations.

Discord

Our product now includes a Discord bot which your community can ask questions from and the bot will answer referencing your game’s knowledge base.

Support application

Last week we released an editor for configuring fields in the settings. In the editor, you can mark fields as editable or metadata. This week we added support for agents to set editable fields in conversations. Every field type (e.g. date or dropdown) has its own type of editor for ease of use.

We also added a “Show always” option for to the field editor. By default fields are only shown once they have been set, but now you can choose if you want to always display some specific fields, e.g. to remind agents that they should be set.

Last week we introduced our AI assistant to allow asking questions about your game’s knowledge base and get instant answers. We have now extended this so you can get a suggested resolution from our assistant with a single click from player’s message.

Support app

New Assistant - Released our improved and revamped assistant. You can now ask our assistant about your game and get instant answers. Your agents can get answers to players’ questions in matter of seconds without leaving the conversation.

Message template tags - Support automatically adding tags to conversations when using message templates.

Configuring fields - Support configuring fields in the settings. Fields can be added for a specific game or all the games. Currently the following field types are supported:

1. Text

2. Multiline text

3. Dropdown

4. Multi dropdown

5. Date

6. Yes/No

SDK

Added smart search for knowledge base articles. The search analyzes the player’s intent and shows the best results based on that, with support for multiple languages.

Knowledge base

1. Setup new LLM models hosted in our AWS infrastructure for specialized tasks.

SDK

1. Send statistics when players view articles or start conversations with support.

Support Application

Message templates

Support adding, editing and deleting message templates in the game’s settings page. Message templates can be added for all the games or a specific game and can be used for both player facing messages and private notes. Support agents can select message templates when talking with the players and modify the message before sending it.

AI search for conversations

You can now simply write what conversations you’re looking for, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Infrastructure and performance optimizations

We’ve improved the delivery time of time critical events, now our support app gets realtime updates even faster than before. We’ve also spent time hardening our infrastructure and improved scalability.

Support app

Tag management:

Add tag management view to settings page where you can add, edit and delete tags. Tags can be added for all games or a specific game.

Tags can also be configured to be shown based on different conditions. For example, you can choose to only show bug related tags for related conversations so that agents can more accurately and efficiently pick the correct tags.

On top of manual tagging, we will also support automatic tagging in very near future!

Translation editor

Added a translation editor to allow custom tailored texts for each languages for categories, automated messages, etc. The translations for languages other than English are optional - if you wish the messages to be auto-translated by our AI.

Conversation filtering

Added filter conversations bar to conversation lists. You can filter conversations by assignee, category, CSAT scores, and when the ticket was created. We will add more filters in near future!

Knowledge base

The following statistics are now available in article and category views:

1. Views

2. Unique views

3. How many players started conversations

5. Deflect rate

Users can also see language specific breakdowns and compare deflect rate to past periods.

We have also added more details about when articles have been modified and published to make it easier to see if something is out of date.

This week, we've been mingling around the GDC, making new connections, listening to experts, and enjoying good company during the side events.

For the past week we've been busy polishing out our SDK and Support App, making it faster, look better and added small nice things like key shortcuts to increase efficiency.

We also had time to take some of our bigger features forward. This week we finally made the knowledge base articles available in the SDK Support Center, with full localisation support of course.

We've also been busy working on our Agent Assistant AI, which allows support agents to quickly ask for help when resolving players' tickets. We utilise all the information the game has entered in their knowledge base to give fast, accurate answers. No more jumping between different windows trying to find the answer to the player's issue. The Assistant AI is still work in progress, but we're seeing great results already, so we wanted to give a small sneak peek.

Next week we're going to be at the GDC, ready to show off our product!

It has been a super busy week wrapping these features up. We are really happy about the speed and the accuracy of real-time translation between player and support.

Knowledge base articles can now be automatically translated to several different languages (default option is the languages that game supports).

We have been busy testing also multilingual real-time translation between support and the player. The speed and accuracy amazes us!

If you want to see this in action, book a demo session with us!
