ONGOING TEXT ANALYSIS TO SELF-REGULATE NETWORK NODE ALLOCATIONS AND CONTACT CENTER ADJUSTMENTS

Contact center agents are often presented work items utilizing voice, video, and text. Text messages are often processed concurrently with other text or non-text messages. In order to avoid over or under utilizing agents, contact centers may determine an initial complexity for a work item and route the work item to an agent having the skills and capacity to accommodate the initial complexity. However, the initial complexity may differ from an observed complexity as the agent processes the work item. Accordingly, systems and methods are provided to monitor ongoing text message complexity and route subsequent work items to agents based on an observed complexity provided, at least in part, by the complexity of text-based work item current being processed, and the agents capacity to process the subsequent work item.
