Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-powered chatbots are increasingly capable of handling these interactions, freeing up analysts to focus on more complex and nuanced customer issues. Computer vision can also assist in processing visual information, such as verifying product conditions or identifying issues from customer-submitted images.
