An AI-driven chatbot (e.g., IBM Watson Assistant) engages the customer to gather initial information about the issue.

2. Information Gathering

2.1. Issue Identification

The AI tool prompts the customer with specific questions to identify the nature of the roadside assistance needed (e.g., flat tire, battery issue).

2.2. Location Verification

Utilize GPS data to automatically verify the customer’s location or prompt for manual entry if necessary.

3. Dispatch Process

3.1. AI Analysis

The AI system analyzes the collected data to determine the best course of action, considering factors such as customer location, type of assistance required, and availability of service providers.

3.2. Resource Allocation

AI algorithms (e.g., Google AI) select the nearest available service provider based on real-time data and historical performance metrics.

4. Communication with Service Provider

4.1. Automated Notification

The system sends an automated notification to the selected service provider with details of the assignment.
