Multi-functions

The first thing someone might be interested in is, what can a chatbot do?

1. Respond to Inquiries: A chatbot can automatically respond to specfic inquiries, such as how to use a product, frequently asked questions (FAQ), stocks, etc.

2. Respond to complaints: If the complaint has a fixed answer, the chatbot can respond to it instead of an operator.

3. Replace E-mail Inquires: Rather than clicking the typical ‘Inquire’ or ‘Contact Us’ button and filling out a form to send inquiry, you can directly get the information by asking a chatobt.

4. Flexible switch to Operators: In case the chatbot cannot answer the inquiry or you want to directly talk with an operator, you can choose to contact an operator flexibly.

Why should we use an automated chatbot for customer support?

1. Raise customer satisfaction: A chatbot can respond to customers 24/7. With quick response to customers, customer satisfaction can be raised and business image is hence improved.
2. Reduce Cost: It can solve the problem of labour shortage and further cut cost.
3. Enhance Efficiency: Chatbots can automatically respond to frequently asked questions and complaints which have fixed answers so that more customers can simultaneously be served. As a result, efficiency is enhanced.
4. Machine Learning: Through interacting with different customers repeatedly, a chatbot can evolve itself into a smarter and more accurate version of itself. Thus, the quality of customer support keeps improving.
