Apple is reportedly developing an AI-based 'Support Assistant' for its official Support app to handle customer queries without human agents.
The chatbot would use generative AI models, but it's uncertain whether Apple will utilize in-house models or collaborate with external partners like OpenAI or Anthropic.
Introducing a ChatGPT-style AI chatbot to the Apple Support app could reduce wait times and allow users to ask questions about Apple products, payment methods, and more.
The chatbot could leverage Apple's extensive product documentation to train and provide answers to various technical queries, potentially resolving simpler customer issues without human intervention.
