Alía by Symanto
Russell Bedford

How Alía works

Two conversation models, one governance layer. Alía handles the customer interaction whether the contact starts with the customer or the bank.

Inbound

The customer contacts the bank

Alía identifies the issue, preserves context and routes the conversation to the right specialist, with the full interaction documented at every step.

Outbound

The bank initiates contact

After an approved alert or follow-up trigger, Alía guides structured recognition questions and documents the customer's response before any action is taken.

Alerts and Blocks

Recognise suspicious card activity, clarify preventive blocks and guide the next safe step.

InboundCustomer calls after card is blocked. Alía confirms identity via bank controls, explains the alert and guides the customer to the right action.
OutboundBank sends alert after a suspicious transaction. Alía contacts the customer, confirms intent and documents the response before any card action.

Disputes

Review unrecognised or disputed transactions and collect the missing case information the bank needs to proceed.

InboundCustomer reports an unrecognised charge. Alía collects structured case data, preserves the conversation record and routes to the disputes team.
OutboundBank follows up on a pending dispute. Alía reaches the customer, gathers outstanding information and updates the case record automatically.

Transfers and Scams

Identify warning signs of manipulation in suspicious transfers and guide safe escalation before funds move.

InboundCustomer requests an urgent transfer. Alía surfaces scam indicators through psychographic analysis and routes high-risk cases for human review.
OutboundBank flags a pending transfer for review. Alía contacts the customer, asks structured recognition questions and documents consent or concern.

Case Continuity Router

The logic layer that keeps every conversation coherent, regardless of channel, model or escalation path. It classifies intent, selects the right agent, preserves context across handoffs and coordinates escalation so that no case loses its thread.

1
Classify intent: identifies whether the contact is an alert, dispute, transfer risk or general fraud enquiry
2
Select agent: routes to the appropriate Alía specialist based on case type and channel
3
Preserve context: carries the full conversation record into every handoff, inbound and outbound
4
Coordinate escalation: routes to a human specialist with complete case context when thresholds are reached

The resolution flow

From first contact to authorised action. Each stage is governed, documented and traceable.

Alert or customer contact

Identity is verified through the bank's approved controls. Alía does not request credentials or act as an independent authenticator. No case opens until the customer is confirmed.

Secure guided conversation

Psychographic conversation intelligence surfaces customer intent and emotional context. Alía structures the dialogue to gather what the case needs before any action is proposed.

Structured response

Within expressly authorised interactions, Alía guides the customer to the appropriate next step. Cases above governance thresholds route immediately to a human specialist with full context.

Authorised next step and traceable handoff

Every decision and outcome is written back to the CRM where an approved integration exists, compliance-ready, without manual entry.
