A bot, also called a chatbot or a conversational agent, is a program that simulates a conversation in natural language. It can be integrated into your website or directly accessible on an instant messaging system such as Messenger, Skype or Twitter, or by SMS. The bot’s functioning principle is based on a question /answer library, linked to a semantic analysis and the use of artificial intelligence, which can help it learn and improve its output.
What are the advantages of a bot for your company?
1. 24h/24 availability
Bots can give an instant answer when it is requested, at any time of the day or night. The desired information is always available, and the user does not have to wait for an answer to be given by a physical person or be subject to the company’s opening times.
2. More efficiency
A bot can save valuable time, for the user who can obtain an immediate answer but also for your employees, who are no longer charged with answering simple and repetitive questions and can thus concentrate on other tasks.
“Companies that have chosen to implement these conversational agents have noted a 70% decrease of telephone, chat and e-mail requests.” Gartner
3. Lead qualification
A chatbot can be used as an initial contact to obtain customer information, such as their number, the subject of their request, their preferences… Which helps spot opportunities and gain flexibility when contacting the customers and directing them to the right service. The employee will receive the information gathered by the bot, the lead is then qualified, and the contact is thus more personalised.
4. Brand image
Bots are trendy, and they show your company is dynamic and innovating. They help your company stand out from its competitors by offering an additional communication channel with your customers and improving customer satisfaction.
