Business process automation through conversational ai
The term AI has always been exhilarating to the human mind, for some, it has raised a web of complicated questions which range from what is AI? Can AI take over the world? But for an average human being to understand AI we can say that a machine or a computer is taking over a human task. The need for humanizing and speeding up customer interactions is rising rapidly. Customers expect businesses to assist them 24/7, look up to their needs, resolving their issues rationally. Companies generate AI-powered assistants to manage the interaction between customers and employees. They contribute by being available bots that always pop up whenever we visit the company’s page and can answer all the queries of multiple people at once. We could instantly get all the answers and the solutions that we needed. But sometimes due to lack of information or we can say when bots engage in more keyword scripts, it becomes monotonous and irrelevant for users. Conversational AI addresses these challenges and sets up conversational process automation which is basically a virtual assistant or chatbot. It empowers virtual assistants to understand the queries of different persons and give relevant solutions.
