Conversational AI
As a consumer, how many times have you called or sent an email to customer service, only to wait forever to get your questions answered? More importantly, is this the experience you want your own customers to have?
Why it makes a difference
Conversational AI is a form of Artificial Intelligence that allows people to communicate with applications, websites and devices in everyday, humanlike natural language via voice, touch or text input. We use the technology to develop intelligent chatbots and voice controlled digital assistants.
With the growing consumer culture of instant gratification and the need for an immediate reply to any question, consumers expectations are higher than ever before. Not only do we expect service 24/7, but we want it to be personalized and specific. At the same time, customer service employees answer tons of the same basic questions about internet connections, invoicing or return policies. They’re getting bored and unmotivated, while at the same time never catching up with the demand.
The emergence of Conversational Artificial Intelligence (CAI) technology has begun to shake things up in customer service by meeting the ever-changing expectations of consumers. For end users it allows fast interaction using their own words and terminology, handling slang, dialect and typos. For enterprises it offers a way to build a closer connection with customers through personalized content and receive an unprecedented amount of vital business information in return.
First of all – what does it mean?
‘Chatbot’ refers to the technology enabling computers to look for certain keywords and respond with predetermined answers to questions. With the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), we are now experiencing chatbots that are able to understand and solve complex problems, ask clarifying questions and provide personalized responses via familiar communication channels. In other words: helping businesses deliver the magical customer experiences consumers both expect and require. This technology, or a chatbot built on sophisticated AI, is referred to as Conversational AI.
