Microsoft has recently launched a brand-new AI-powered chatbot named "Xbox Support Virtual Agent," which is currently being piloted for the first time among Xbox Insiders.
This chatbot is designed to help Xbox players resolve gaming-related support issues more efficiently. Xbox Insiders can experience this new feature by visiting support.xbox.com, where the bot will answer various support questions about Xbox consoles and games.
According to Megha Dudani, Senior Product Manager at Xbox, Microsoft places great importance on the feedback from Xbox Insiders regarding this preview experience, and all suggestions and comments received will be used to further improve the support virtual agent. This chatbot not only provides instant answers but also adds animated effects to enhance the user experience. When users inquire, the chatbot appears as a dynamic AI character or a colorful Xbox sphere.
This initiative is part of Microsoft's application of AI technology on the Xbox platform and its services. Compared to other Microsoft departments, Xbox has been more cautious in advancing AI features. Despite Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's clear directive for all departments to prioritize AI, Xbox remains cautious.
Microsoft is also working on integrating AI capabilities into game content creation, game operations, and Xbox platforms and devices, including AI-generated art, game testing, and generative AI non-player characters (NPCs) developed in collaboration with Inworld. These efforts demonstrate Microsoft's deep deployment of AI technology in the gaming industry, aiming to continuously enhance players' gaming experiences and support services.
With this new chatbot, players can receive quick and effective solutions when encountering issues, further strengthening user support on the Xbox platform. Microsoft hopes to provide better service and experiences for players through these innovative AI applications and plans to introduce more AI-driven features in the future.
