Want to streamline the customer experience, reap cost savings and shift processes from reactive to proactive? Then chat bots are the way forward. 2018 saw a surge in chatbot development for a range of business needs. The global chatbot market is expected to reach USD 1.25 billion by 2025.
However, when chatbot interactions are mechanical, non-conversational or inferior to human-based conversations, the initiative can lead to a loss of business. Therefore, organizations need to carefully plan and execute these systems to overcome strategic and tactical challenges.
