Seminole County OKs AI call-center pilot to add 24/7 English and Spanish service
Summary
County staff received approval to pilot an AI conversational agent in the citizens engagement call center to provide 24/7 bilingual responses, seamless handoffs to live agents, and potential expansion to chat and text; funding will come from attrition (vacant positions).
Seminole County commissioners authorized staff to proceed with a pilot program to modernize the county's call center using a conversational AI agent.
Presenters told the board the pilot would deploy a 24/7 English-and-Spanish AI agent to answer common resident questions, provide history of the AI conversation to live agents for seamless handoffs, and allow residents to request a live representative at any time. "The first thing is a 24/7 conversational AI agent in English and in Spanish," the presenter said, explaining the pilot's expected scope and how it would be funded through position attrition rather than new appropriations.
Staff said the pilot would run roughly three to six months after implementation, with periodic reporting back to the board on metrics such as deflection rates and customer satisfaction. Commissioners approved moving forward and asked staff to report performance findings when available.
