76% of shoppers prefer to buy products when information is presented in their native language. Studies show that many of those shoppers are more likely to return to a brand that offers support in their language. Poor customer service and language friction come with real cost: research estimates that globally, bad customer experiences put US$3.7 trillion in sales at risk each year.
Why multilingual AI agents are the strategic way forward
Offering multilingual support through Syllable AI agents is easy, and unlocks several advantages:
- Meet customers' expectations for native-language support without needing to staff large multilingual support teams
- Reduce friction for non-native speakers, increasing the chance of conversion and repeat business
- Lower the risk of lost revenue or reputational damage from poor customer experiences
- Scale support globally in a consistent, manageable way across voice, chat, and web channels
