Top 10 AI Tools Every Customer Service Professional in Belgium Should Know in 2025

Belgian customer service teams can no longer treat AI as a novelty - adoption climbed from about 13.8% in 2023 to 24.7% in 2024 and banks and insurers are already using generative tools for chatbots and case work, but scaling is the hard part: 76% of organisations still run pilots while only 21% report full integration, and concerns about cybersecurity, skills and governance are front‑of‑mind.

Regional studies also show high awareness but mixed trust (Brussels leads in use but reports lower perceived accuracy), so the smartest play in 2025 pairs tight data rules and human oversight with focused upskilling and targeted pilots.

For practical steps see PwC's phased adoption playbook and ActLegal's Belgian AI guidance, and consider hands‑on training like Nucamp's Nucamp AI Essentials for Work bootcamp (syllabus) to get teams productive fast.

“The concept of open innovation isn't new. But the urgency to adopt it, especially in the age of AI, is imperative. Forward-thinking organizations recognize its potential, and as such it is now the norm rather than the exception.” - Hans Cromphout, business unit director at Sopra Steria's Brussels office

Selection prioritized practical fit for Belgian CS teams: tools that natively integrate with existing CRMs, ticketing systems and communication channels, offer robust multilingual support for Dutch/French/German, and meet GDPR-grade privacy controls - so the shortlist favoured platforms that can be plugged into live workflows rather than one-off experiments.

Evaluation criteria drew on established checklists (accuracy, bias mitigation, language handling, accessibility and update cadence) and implementation steps found in industry guidance, with special weight given to real‑world features such as NLU, sentiment analysis, seamless handoff to humans, and easy API integrations to avoid costly custom work; see Canary Mail's advice to prioritise native integrations and Purdue's rubric on evaluating AI tools for a full set of criteria.

Pilots and upskilling readiness were required: vendors needed clear onboarding paths, analytics for measuring CSAT and ticket deflection, and a plan for continuous training - so the final ten aren't hypothetical winners, they're tools a Belgian contact centre can realistically roll out and measure, like a bilingual agent who never sleeps but hands off complex cases smoothly to humans.

“No matter who you are, we know that AI can make your job easier and better. On top of that, you can make better decisions with better insights about your client. What's predictive of churn? How do you drive a better upsell or advocacy in your client base to help you do a better job with your customers? Spending less time on that annoying, mundane work that takes you away from your clients, your family, or folks outside of work. AI is going to radically make customers and customer success better.” - Nick Mehta, Gainsight CEO

Kommunicate's Kompose brings a practical, no-code route to generative chatbots that suits Belgian contact centres juggling Dutch, French and German - build conversational flows with a drag‑and‑drop GUI, train bots on helpcentre pages or documents, and deploy across web, WhatsApp and mobile so routine questions get resolved instantly while complex cases route to a human agent; the platform claims it can resolve up to 80% of queries and pairs omnichannel reach with CRM and ticketing integrations (Zendesk, Salesforce) plus analytics to measure deflection and CSAT. For teams wary of compliance, Kommunicate advertises enterprise‑grade controls and regional data options, and the Kompose bot builder makes multilingual customization straightforward for localised tone and phrasing - think of it as a multilingual agent that never sleeps, answering a late‑night refund question in Flemish and handing off a legal query to a human the instant it senses complexity.

Try the Kompose builder or explore platform features to map a pilot to Belgian workflows and channels.

Zendesk is a full‑featured, cloud help desk that pairs proven ticketing and analytics with built‑in AI to help Belgian teams scale service without sacrificing compliance: AI agents and a Copilot aim to automate triage and suggest replies while dashboards surface trends and ticket‑deflection metrics so managers can measure CSAT and workload in real time; the platform's Answer Bot brings knowledge‑base answers to customers across channels and can publish flows in multiple languages to suit Belgium's multilingual needs - a quick way to deflect routine email or chat volume so agents handle the thornier cases.

For security and legal peace of mind Zendesk publishes a detailed Trust Center covering ISO and SOC certifications, Binding Corporate Rules, a DPA and options for European hosting and data‑subject tools, and its AI features are built with privacy controls (including stated controls around OpenAI usage and data retention).

For Belgian contact centres that must balance GDPR obligations with the need to cut wait times, Zendesk presents a practical, enterprise‑grade option with admin tools for deletion, redaction and role‑based access that map directly to common compliance workflows.

“We've learned that customers don't want to wait for a response.” - Brian Crumpley, Analytics Manager (Dollar Shave Club)

Ada is built for the bilingual, tightly integrated workflows Belgian contact centres need: its AI chatbot can automate up to 80% of routine inquiries while boosting live‑agent throughput and even handling payments or account updates inside the bot, then hand context and conversation history to humans when needed - think of a bilingual agent that translates a Flemish refund request into the right internal ticket and routes it to a specialist without asking the customer to repeat themselves.

The platform's Ada Glass design emphasises plug‑and‑play handoffs to existing systems (Zendesk, Salesforce and others) so teams won't have to rip and replace core infrastructure, and the Ada + Kustomer integration highlights personalization at scale, real‑time journey context and instant translation to 100+ languages - features that make it practical for Dutch/French/German service across Belgium while freeing skilled agents to focus on complex, high‑value cases.

Explore how Ada's handoff and translation features map to multilingual Belgian workflows to design a pilot that keeps customers moving and agents empowered.

“We very much buy into a best-of-breed approach. We understand that companies already have existing infrastructure with these great tools. We don't want our customers to have to rip and replace anything, and so we think it's very important that what we offer is a plug-and-play model that can accommodate your needs based on the live agent system that you have in place.” - Ruth Zive, head of marketing at Ada

Gorgias is a purpose‑built, ecommerce helpdesk that makes Belgian online retailers feel like they've given agents a superpower: every channel funnels into one central inbox so teams can view order history, edit orders or issue refunds without leaving the ticket - handy for Brussels‑area shops using PrestaShop or Belgian merchants on Shopify who need fast, personalised replies; built‑in AI features (AI tagging, AI assistance, bot‑powered replies and automations) handle routine requests and free humans for high‑value cases, while integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and PrestaShop keep inventory and loyalty data at agents' fingertips, improving conversion opportunities and reducing manual work.

For contact centres aiming to cut first‑response times and scale multilingual support across channels, Gorgias's ecommerce focus and turn‑key integrations make pilots quick to launch - see the Gorgias Helpdesk feature list and platform overview to map a trial to your Belgian workflows.

“I believe that AI combined with human agents is the future - that's where we're going to see perfect customer experience.” - Tosha Moyer, Senior CX Manager

Zoho Desk packs a lot of practical value for Belgian contact centres that need multilingual, budget‑sensible AI: its built‑in Zia assistant brings generative reply suggestions, ticket summarisation, sentiment analysis and auto‑tagging so agents can move faster without losing context, and the platform supports multilingual knowledge bases and auto‑translation to help teams cover Dutch, French and German across web, WhatsApp and other channels - useful when a long, messy thread needs a crisp one‑line brief before an agent replies.

Zia is available in EU data centres and Zoho says customer data is not used to train its models, helping meet GDPR expectations while still offering low‑friction features (Guided Conversations, Answer Bot, and ChatGPT integration) to lift first‑response times.

For cost‑conscious Belgian teams, Zoho Desk's per‑agent pricing scales from entry plans to enterprise tiers, and its omnichannel feature list makes it a practical, affordable option to pilot AI‑augmented service.

Gong.io brings conversation intelligence and data-driven coaching to teams that need clarity on what actually happens in customer conversations - a useful fit for Belgian service organisations that must balance performance with GDPR and security controls.

The platform captures calls, meetings and email threads, surface-level and deal-level analytics, and AI summaries that turn messy interactions into coaching moments and forecast signals, helping managers clone top performers and speed onboarding; customers even report big time savings, with case studies citing thousands of hours reclaimed.

For Belgian contact centres wrestling with forecasting, compliance and cross‑channel visibility, Gong's Revenue AI platform (see the product overview) and its quote‑based pricing model (see pricing) make it straightforward to evaluate trade‑offs between deep analytics and total cost of ownership, especially if RevOps resources are available to support setup and integration.

“Gong gave us the assurance that our reps were doing the right things during their discovery calls and demos. We've shortened our sales cycle to just 16 days and more than doubled our close rates.” - David Ellis, Sales Director

For Belgian customer service teams that need every conversation captured and easily actioned, Fireflies.ai works like a tireless, multilingual note‑taker - the vendor touts up to 95% transcription accuracy and support for 100+ languages (including French), automatic meeting joins and speaker recognition, and AI summaries that pull out action items, keywords and shareable “soundbites” so the exact moment a customer says “we'll churn” is never lost; the platform also offers searchable transcripts, mobile recording for in‑person conversations, broad integrations with conferencing and CRM tools, and enterprise controls aligned to European rules (SOC 2 Type II, AES‑256 encryption, GDPR compliance and explicit data‑ownership promises).

Start with the free tier (shared‑bot limits apply) and scale to paid Pro/Business/Enterprise plans - see the Fireflies.ai product page for features and a third‑party breakdown in the TechPoint review when mapping a pilot to Belgian workflows.

“Fireflies brought more structure in our meetings and more transparency within our company.” - Matias Rodsevich, CEO @ PR Labs

ChatGPT for Business is best framed in Belgian contact centres as a bilingual co‑pilot rather than a standalone agent: vendors and guides (see Zendesk's practical rundown) recommend using ChatGPT internally to draft and polish replies, translate or localise Dutch/French/German content, summarise long tickets or meeting transcripts, and surface trending issues that should become knowledge‑base articles, not for unsupervised customer conversations.

Practical use cases include ticket summarisation to speed resolution, guided reply suggestions that agents edit before sending, and automated drafts for help‑centre edits - approaches highlighted in Document360's and AIMultiple's use‑case breakdowns - while integrations via the OpenAI API let platforms embed those capabilities into existing workflows.

Important caveats for Belgian teams: LLMs can hallucinate, carry privacy risks, and must be governed to meet GDPR and corporate rules, so implement redaction, explicit human review and clear data‑handling policies before scaling.

Think of ChatGPT as a fast, multilingual drafting desk that saves agents time but still needs a human signature on sensitive answers.

For Belgian contact centres juggling Dutch, French and German, Zoom AI Companion can be a practical meeting co‑pilot: it delivers real‑time transcriptions, multilingual meeting summaries, “Ask AI” quick catch‑ups and Smart Recording that chops cloud recordings into searchable smart chapters so managers can find the moment a decision was made without scrubbing hours of video - see Zoom Smart Recording setup and options.

Administrators must enable AI Companion on paid Workplace plans and decide retention and sharing rules, after which hosts can download, search or delete transcripts via the Recordings & Transcripts tab; accuracy still depends on audio quality and accents, so expect to pair the tool with clear meeting etiquette and review workflows (details and practical tips are usefully summarised in Zoom AI transcription and summary best practices by Tactiq).

Zoom also notes privacy controls and that third‑party models may be involved, so align settings to GDPR and local policies before rolling out company‑wide.

Choosing the right AI mix for a Belgian customer service team means balancing compliance, local partners and practical impact: start with the Belgian Data Protection Authority brochure on AI and the GDPR (Belgian Data Protection Authority brochure on AI and the GDPR), use local supplier directories to shortlist vendors with EU hosting and sector experience (see the ENSUN directory of AI customer service companies in Belgium) and prioritise tools that natively integrate with existing CRMs, multilingual support and clear handoff paths so routine Dutch/French/German queries are automated while complex cases go to humans.

Pair that vendor work with deliberate upskilling - short, practical training like Nucamp AI Essentials for Work bootcamp helps teams write safe prompts, evaluate outputs and run measurable pilots - then measure ticket deflection, CSAT and privacy metrics before scaling.
