Conversational Bot
A conversational bot is an AI-enabled computer program that simulates human conversation through voice commands, text chats, or email messages. It leverages AI to respond to human conversations with a specific set of predefined replies upon understanding intent and analyzing the context of the conversation. You can embed and configure this software and integrate it with your customer support platform for various use cases.
To start using SmartAssist, you need to create and configure a conversational bot, map an agent and the necessary automation workflows. SmartAssist also lets you create a bot using a pre-trained bot template.
