eSky scales AI customer service across 3 brands and 3 channels with Ada, achieving a 17-point automated resolution increase and 200% ROI

The problem

eSky's flow-based chatbots failed to satisfy customers, who sought human agents rather than trusting automation to resolve their issues, while contact volumes spiked dramatically during irregular travel operations and the company lacked an operating model to scale service quality across multiple brands, channels, and markets.

First attempt

eSky's prior flow-based chatbot approach managed inquiry volume by deflecting tickets rather than resolving them, leaving customers frustrated and seeking human agents instead of trusting the chatbot.
