Traditional chatbot is a old chatbot that use for the customer support but they don't answer anything on their own like real conversation.Most of chatbot run on a script like a menu of pre-set questions with pre-set answers. If a customer's question isn't in that menu, they get stuck and if no one from your team is online to reply the customer than you lose you sale. There's no for the customer to ask what they want.

2. Why This Hurts Small Businesses the Most

Big companies can afford a support team to sit on live chat all day. But Small businesses and solo store owners cannot afford a support team. That's the issue with the small business he spend lot of time to conversation with the customer and get sluggish or hard to reply again and again the same question of the customer.
