Learn how easy it is to incorporate a voice-based Amazon Lex chatbot into your Amazon Connect contact center. In this workshop, we walk you through configuring your own Amazon Connect contact center, implementing a chatbot, and using it in your workflows to deliver a personalized voice-based caller experience. You also have the opportunity to further personalize caller experiences by using AWS Lambda to access caller information from your customer data system. Leave this workshop with a functioning Amazon Connect contact center and a voice-enabled chatbot that you can continually modify to your business needs over time. Come prepared to build by bringing your laptop and a phone to make test calls.

12. You run an IT helpdesk that provides help over the phone. When someone calls in, most of the
questions fall into similar categories such as password resets, hardware issues, or email problems.
It is not cost-effective for you to staff agents to handle these basic calls that could be solved with self-
service. You’d prefer your agents to handle the more complicated questions.
