Learning outcomes

Problem Statement Telecommunication companies manage large volumes of customer enquiries related to mobile plans, broadband services, network connectivity, billing, roaming, SIM activation, troubleshooting, and service policies. Customer support teams often need to search multiple knowledge bases, technical documents, FAQs, and service manuals to provide accurate answers. This can lead to longer resolution times, inconsistent responses, repeated enquiries, and increased pressure on support agents. The challenge is to develop an intelligent enterprise chatbot that retrieves relevant information from approved telecom documents and generates context-aware responses while protecting customer…
