Chatbots
Nowadays, chatbots are taking over our digital interactions with businesses. If you are not familiar with this concept, chatbots are artificial intelligence systems that we interact with online, via text. Consumers enjoy chatbots because they are a quick and easy way to get answers to concerns. Whether you are looking to make an inquiry, follow-up on a pressing matter, or filing a complaint about a product or service, starting a live chat with chatbots is a great way to do so.
More and more businesses are using Chatbots to save time, increase leads, improve customer service, and enhance B2C and B2B interactions. However, despite all of its advantages, there are some things that businesses should consider before integrating chatbots.
