No wonder AI and RPA are the future of service companies

Long before the breakthrough of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA), managing communication with clients was a rather simple task. Contacts were made telephonically, concerned users called the helpline about small issues and posted a letter whenever more details were necessary. No other touchpoints were employed. Another major difference compared to today was the extended period it took to solve the task. In former times, it was solely dependent on the company to decide the time span. This went on until the Internet pushed its way through. Thanks to digitization, the power has shifted and now the clients have their say! Consequently, customer service procedures were turned upside-down and had to be rethought.

Why Traditional Chatbots Will Not Stand a Chance

Enterprises primarily look for simple and low-cost options to offer their clients online services that make use of conventional chatbots (also referred to as ‘virtual assistants’). Instead of saving, in most cases, the expenses rise as the chatbots initially have to be ‘trained’ via so-called ‘dialog scripts’ in order to be put into operation. Those scripts have to be programmed manually! In addition, it is proven that traditional chatbots neither prevent further inquiries nor do they achieve favorable customer experiences. Rather, there is a high possibility of doing oneself a disservice by using chat robots. In light of smart speech assistance, such as SIRI or CORTANA, growing skepticism about their sustainability is valid.
