Apr 01, 2025
Unlike Traditional Chatbots, GVA Learning 360 Absorbs the Wisdom of Human Agents, Not Just Documents—Cutting AI Onboarding Time and Bringing Uniformity to AI and Human Customer Experiences New York, NY. (Mar, 31, 2025): – Glia, the leader in customer interaction technology, today announced Glia Virtual Assistant (GVA) Learning 360, a first-of-its-kind AI solution that learns how a contact center’s best agents would respond to a customer request and uses the intelligence to automatically generate answers for their GVA—significantly advancing beyond industry-standard AI virtual assistants that rely solely on written documents. “Most institutions have been forced to choose between quick-to-deploy but generic AI or spending months manually training a bot that still can’t match their best agents,” said Jacob Tyler, Director of Conversational AI Strategy at Glia. “GVA Learning 360 eliminates this compromise by allowing financial institutions to effectively ‘clone’ their best human representatives. Organizations can rest assured that their customers receive the highest quality experience from the best-matched agent—human or AI—for their unique circumstances.” GVA Learning 360 arrives at a pivotal time as financial institutions search for AI solutions that help them meet heightening customer expectations without straining their contact centers.
