Touching Story “BAAN PAN RAK”

by Patcharee Wiriyathanasombat (ACC’s Trainer)

Good Monday Morning

“My 59-year-old student, P’Roongtip came to me and ask me to teach her how to edit pictures. She said she was afraid of copyrights every time she used pictures she found on the Internet. After photo editing class ended, she happily came to me again and showed me a picture she edited. It wrote “Good Monday Morning” (Sawasdee Wan Jan). She sent this picture to her children and they surprisingly asked her how she knew how to edit the picture. P’Roongtip proudly said she learned it from Baan Pun Rak and I could clearly see her smiling face.”

Eagerness has paid off

“P’Tawatchai is a newbie at Baan Pun Rak, but his eagerness is not new. After the workshop ended, he thanked me for teaching him how to use iOS smartphone and told me his story. He said he is a computer teacher and he knows everything about computer but smartphone is another thing. He used to ask his children to teach him but they were so bothered that they didn’t want to. He had been looking for a smartphone class but an embarrassment stopped him. He didn’t want to be in a new-gen class where he is the only one who different. Baan Pun Rak is a place for him, he is not different and he is not ashamed to learn anymore.”

Why is Good Morning picture so important?

“On a day of photo editing class, I have learned why the elder likes to send picture with words written good morning to their children and friends.
1. It is their greeting. Sending “Good Morning Monday” and well-wishing are Thai greeting tradition. Sending the picture to someone, is to greet them before going to school or to work.
2. Picture speaks louder than words. Aging is making their vision changed and smartphone keyboard is too tiny to see. The easiest way is to send picture with written words.
3. Sending pictures everyday means they are still alive, and if one day no picture is sent, that might mean the sender is long gone.”

See their face again

“One of my elderly friends told me after attending the workshop that the technology has helped him. His children are currently aboard, and Facebook has helped him see how their lives are going. On his Facebook feed is their children posting about their lives. Of course, there are only words, pictures and videos, but after he can use the Face Time feature, now he can talk to them, and their bond is never gone.”

Me in the future

“To teach someone, you must understand them first. The elder often ask a lot of questions though it is the question you have given them the answer. They will keep everything we said in their notebook and will write everything down until they can remember. We should learn to understand their physical condition and willingly answer them because they are us in the future.”

“AIS Call Center: Angel Team” Project was established to respond to user behaviors from different customers during their ages combined with technology to create customer relationships by people. Therefore designed this service to support users with an average age between 60-75 years and older who have problems with the use of smartphone devices.

We also launched Call Queue Reserve Service which is free for the senior who wait and was put on hold via voice contact channel. Normally, the senior, who needs to contact the agent, dislikes waiting in a call queue. If the agent is not ready at that time. “Call Queue Reserve Service” will calculate the user’s estimated waiting time and offer them “Real-time queue reservation”. Then, the senior can instantly hang up the phone call, while the service will generate a simulated queue similar to the live user whose call is still on hold. Finally, the right agent will automatically contact back to the senior when their queue is reached. According to a senior survey which was conducted after launching this service, 90% of them are very happy. They said, “This service affords them with quick and simple service and it also saved their time”.

AIS Contact Center launched a chatbot named, “Ask Aunjai” which works as an automatic text chat for AIS product and service-related examinations. In July 2018, this chatbot technology and its related knowledge sharing function were besides enhanced and outfitted with Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Ask Aunjai was able to provide answers which encompass a wide variety of products and services as well as engaging in live chat with users on a greater variety of topics and questions. It can understand more than 200 intents, along with responding to users by practicing digital content both videos and digital content.

in Mar 2017, AIS was the 1st Telco in Thailand to launch its “Thai Speech Recognition” technology. This service replicates human-like interaction as it was designed specifically for both the young and old generations. The customer could easily receive the solutions by speaking the problem in “Natural Thai dialog”. Then, IVR will process and deliver excellent service by transferring the information very quickly to the users in order to receive the right solutions or promoting self-service. This initiative has resulted in reducing users’ handling time to find the service on IVR (i.e. from 1.17 minutes to less than 37 seconds).
