Chat Realtime Topics is an embedded AI service feature in Oracle B2C Service.

How Chat Realtime Topics Works

The feature processes live chat subjects and early chat messages in near real-time, assigning each chat to a relevant topic identified by the site’s Hot Topics model based on the underlying ingested data. This topic assignment provides valuable context for both customer inquiries and agent interactions. The real-time report presents key details for each active chat, including:

  • Wait Time
  • Chat Duration
  • Lead Agent
  • Customer Name
  • Question/Subject

This report enables administrators to quickly identify trending issues and adjust operations accordingly.
