During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) started experiencing an unprecedented surge in inbound unemployment claims from those seeking help for available Federal and State pandemic assistance, such as FPUC (Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation). To effectively respond to the large number of incoming queries surrounding unemployment claims, the Illinois Department of Employment Security wanted a chatbot and a telephony bot that could handle their basic 37 queries related to benefits and compensation for unemployed individuals.
