In partnership with Microsoft, Yocum Technology Group (YTG) is leveraging the latest in AI-powered chat and automation technologies to deliver seamless chatbot solutions. These tools are built on the robust Microsoft Power Platform, enabling businesses to streamline operations and enhance customer experiences.
YTG's Chatbot Assistant Solutions with Microsoft
At the heart of YTG's AI solutions is the Microsoft Power Platform, which includes Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents. These powerful tools allow businesses to create chatbot assistants that integrate deeply with their operations. Whether automating customer service or handling internal tasks, YTG uses Microsoft's suite of tools to build efficient, scalable chatbot solutions.
1. Power Virtual Agents for Conversational AI
Using Power Virtual Agents, businesses can easily automate customer service tasks by developing intelligent virtual assistants that provide instant, accurate responses to inquiries. These bots are easy to implement and can be embedded into websites, apps, or Microsoft Teams. With Power Virtual Agents, businesses can:
- Automate routine customer service tasks like answering FAQs and processing basic requests.
- Provide 24/7 support without human intervention.
- Seamlessly escalate complex issues to human agents when required.
2. Power Automate: Streamlining Chatbot-Driven Workflows
YTG maximizes the capabilities of Power Automate to integrate chatbot assistants into broader business processes. With Copilot in Power Automate, YTG enables chatbots to trigger automated workflows based on customer inputs, reducing manual work and improving efficiency. For example:
- A chatbot assistant can capture customer order details, which are processed automatically in backend systems using Power Automate.
- The chatbot can handle follow-up tasks like sending confirmation emails, scheduling meetings, or triggering alerts for human staff when necessary.

This means businesses can quickly roll out AI-powered chat solutions that connect directly with their internal systems, such as databases, CRM tools, and Microsoft Teams.
For example, YTG helped a client in the healthcare industry build a chatbot using Power Apps to automate patient appointment scheduling. The bot collects necessary information from the patient and integrates directly into the healthcare provider's scheduling system, automating a previously manual, time-consuming process.
