Smart response compliance

Updated 

Let your audience know that you care about them by ensuring your responses are unbiased and empathic.

While engaging with your customers on different social media channels, you can respond to and address customer queries, posts, messages, etc. through Sprinklr. These responses can be vetted by an AI-powered tool called Response Compliance.

Response Compliance is available only for English locale users. To learn more about getting this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your Success Manager.

Use cases of response compliance

Response Compliance helps you manage brand risk at scale. The AI-powered legal compliance check ensures that each brand response takes into account the following:

  • Biased content

  • Profanity

  • Tonality

  • Relevance

Therefore, while engaging with your customers on different social channels, you can check if your response complies with community standards to avoid PR crises for your brand.

Example of a compliant response

Example of non-compliant response:

Four categories in response compliance

Social media gaffes aren’t uncommon. You should be aware that people are watching your every move, thus, the chances of you faltering or inadvertently committing mistakes are high. 

Let us understand the four categories based on which responses are screened: 

IMPORTANT. Response Compliance uses AI to analyze each response and flags them as per the categories below.

  • Biased content: it flags discriminatory responses along the lines of race, religion, gender, age, and a person or if we have opinionated content that could be controversial. As a brand, you would never want to respond in a biased manner.

  • Profanity: it flags responses containing abuses, slurs, and adult content. As a brand, you would never want to reply with profanity.

  • Relevance: it flags responses based on their relevance-whether a response is relevant to the prior conversation or not. As a brand, you would never want to write a response that’s even remotely irrelevant to the conversation.

  • Tonality: it flags responses based on their tone – whether they seem aggressive or lack warmth and empathy. As a brand, you would never want to respond without compassion and understanding.

Steps to check response compliance

Note:

If a post/response is non-compliant, its publication is not disabled/stopped. The compliance check only flags a warning related to your response. You can set up post-processing rules accordingly.

  1. Click the New Tab icon. Under the Sprinklr Social tab, click Engagement Dashboards within Engage.

  2. From the Engagement Home window, select the desired Dashboards.

  3. Next, within the Engagement Dashboard, hover over the message you'd like to reply to and click the Reply icon.

  4. On the Reply Publisher window, you can check if your response is compliant with community standards to avoid PR crises. The AI-powered legal compliance check ensures that brand responses aren’t biased, irrelevant, abusive, or aggressive. If your response falls under any of these four categories, it will trigger a yellow flag.

  5. Click Send in the bottom right corner of the Reply Publisher window to publish it.

To share your feedback to improve the AI-powered engine

An AI model generates the responses; this requires continuous training and updating of the model to incorporate brand-specific identities. The model is retrained for the sought phrase or text when you provide feedback.

The below GIF explains how you could give feedback:

  • You can either click on the word flagged as profane or biased content. 

  • Or you can select the appropriate category for the response based on its tone or relevance. If you feel the tonality may have been ‘Improper’ but has been suggested as ‘Proper’ by the AI model — you can click Improper, and your feedback gets recorded.

Permission to govern feedback to improve the AI-powered engine

We will be governing the ability to give feedback to improve the AI-powered Response Compliance Engine. Thus, you will be able to view the response compliance box within the Engagement Dashboards and Agent Console only if you have permission to do so. In other words, this permission will govern who can give feedback to Smart Response Compliance engines.
