  Maybe AI Call Centers for telecommunications aren't the way to go. You can't get them to understand simple network issues are. Im Talking to you Bell , Rogers , Telus . Im all for Saving $ in places but thats not the way to go. So Frustrating.

  @Harryslaststand @marlene4719 Nope. Not any more than other public assets like Air Canada, CNR, Petro Canada, Telus, BC Rail, Hwy 407 in ON, the Canadian Wheat Board, etc. etc. The public gets higher prices & poorer service. But a handful get very wealthy.

  I am the Director of Voice Experience Innovation at Telus International. Six months ago, my team deployed a real-time accent harmonization layer across our Southeast Asian call centers. The agent speaks. The system listens. The customer hears Ohio. I keep a demo reel on my laptop. Before and after. The before sounds like a woman in Manila who went to university in Quezon City and has been resolving billing disputes for nine years. The after sounds like a woman who might be in a strip mall in Columbus. Same words. Same syntax. Same problem-solving. The only thing we change is the part that makes the customer hang up. The metrics are on slide eleven of my board deck. I'm looking at it right now: Customer satisfaction: up 23 percent. Average handle time: down 40 seconds. Escalation requests: down 31 percent. My VP asked what drove the improvement. I said, "Reduced communication friction." Which is technically true. The friction was that our customers don't like talking to people who sound foreign. We didn't fix that. We made it so they never have to know. The system processes voice in 11-millisecond intervals. It maps phonemic patterns to General American English midpoint targets. Internally we call these targets "anchor voices." The anchor voices were generated from 4,000 hours of NPR pledge drive recordings. We picked NPR specifically because listener studies show it's the accent American consumers trust most with their credit card number. (The agent hears themselves the whole time. Their own voice in their own headset. They just know that somewhere in those 11 milliseconds, a machine decides that what they actually sound like isn't something a customer in Phoenix will tolerate for the length of a billing inquiry.) Employee 7734 in our Manila hub asked to hear the output. We played it for her in a breakout room — the one with the motivational poster about "Bringing Your Whole Self to Work." She listened for six seconds. Pulled her headset down around her neck. Went quiet. Then she said, "Is that what they need me to be?" Her CSAT scores are in the 94th percentile. She clocks in every morning at 7:45. I should explain the economics because they're elegant: we hired agents in the Philippines at $4 an hour. We spent $11 million on a system that makes them sound like they cost $35 an hour. The delta is the product. We don't sell accent correction. We sell the gap between what a worker costs and what a customer requires them to sound like. The system doesn't work in reverse. If a customer with a heavy accent calls in, we don't smooth their voice for our agents. Harmonization flows one direction. Toward the customer. Away from the worker. Always uphill. Three agents requested transfers to text-based channels last quarter. They said they felt "disconnected from their own calls." My HR partner coded it as an engagement issue. Recommended a team outing. Bowling, I think. Every morning, 14,000 agents open their mouths and a machine makes a decision about what comes out the other end. They perform the labor. We perform the correction. The customer performs their preference. Nobody performs anything wrong.

  @MelissaLMRogers Telus did this, a couple of decades ago, and it almost broke the company. No quality service, no qualified repairs, no experienced executives.

  @markmandel007 @WestJet They can't even price q plane ticket ask them questions about pricing and they won't know what to say, Telus has trainers and quality agents who have never touched a plane 😢, while Canada has staff with several years of exp who do not rely on scripts

  @TELUSsupport TELUS SmartHome: repeated false alarms → police dispatch while I was on a flight. Told to pay + upsold $5 add-on. Neighbour had same issue, paid hundreds. Fix the system, don’t monetize faults. Will escalate if unresolved.

  Rogers and Bell have both told reporters they do not plan to adopt similar accent‑modifying AI for their customer‑service channels, drawing a distinction with Telus on how AI should be used in call‑centre operations

  @GeorgeHampton25 @WestJet WJ wanted cheap customer service they got it. The agents in Telus El Salvador have a mediocre English level, they can't even understand a spelling, they work with "scripts" unnatural customer service, then they grow after 1 month of training without any exp in airlines at all
