There is no doubt that AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become a game changer in this era of digital transformation and now provides endless opportunities for organizations to further their processes. One such area where AI particularly shines is customer engagement and chatbot support. When enhanced with AI, chatbots become empowered to provide more personalized and efficient customer interactions. That said, how exactly does AI revolutionize this key aspect of the customer experience? We look at the many use cases in which AI can take chatbot technology solutions services to the next level.
1. Data and sentiment analysis
When powered with AI, chatbots can analyze customer data quickly and accurately. This enables them to better identify and learn about common customer problems and, over time, determine which solutions are best suited for a given issue based on previous similar interactions and their resolutions. As a result, customers enjoy a smoother, more interactive experience compared to dealing with a chatbot only capable of canned responses, which can help foster their loyalty towards the brand.
Combine this with sentiment analysis, and chatbots can provide a more reactive user experience. For instance, chatbots with AI-enabled sentiment analysis can respond appropriately when a customer behaves in a certain way, which is incredibly helpful in preventing them from escalating the customer’s emotions while trying to assist them.
2. Augmented Messaging
Regular chatbots work well when it comes to troubleshooting smaller issues and save time for both your team and your users. However, most are not ready to tackle more sensitive or complex cases and often cannot produce the same customer delight as a human agent can, even with the help of data analysis.
This is where augmented messaging comes in, providing AI chatbots to help human agents address challenging customer inquiries, identify opportunities when a human agent should take over the conversation and provide the customer with the personalized help they need. In other words, chatbots powered with augmented messaging give you the best of both worlds.
3. Cross Selling
AI-enabled chatbots can help track your customer’s shopping patterns during interactions, such as when asking for shipping updates. For instance, when shoppers often buy two or more products together, your chatbot can upsell such product combinations to new customers.
You can also program it to send customers a prompt to a trending service offering to boost sales. And while on the topic of advertising, your chatbot can also help spread the word about upcoming or ongoing deals to customers, which can be particularly beneficial during holidays and other special occasions.
4. Customer Experience Enhancement
AI chatbots learn and gather information with every customer interaction they engage in. As mentioned, its analytics feature can then help provide a better customer experience to users. Still, it can provide other valuable insights that let businesses know what their audience wants. This information is indispensable in improving one’s customer experience strategy, such as better understanding where the customers’ friction points are.
Is there a common complaint or requested feature that customers regularly mention when talking to the chatbot? Are they asking for certain product or service improvements? There is plenty of opportunity to give your followers what they want and improve their experience, which will reflect positively on your bottom line.
5. Personalized Shopping Support
Brands are always on the lookout for any opportunity to further their customers down their sales funnel. Implementing AI into chatbots and offering a personalized shopping experience is one of the best ways to create such opportunities. By using machine learning, AI-powered chatbots can better understand customer queries in real time during the interaction and not just after it has ended. For example, if a shopper provides a prompt like “I’m looking for size four red ballet shoes,” the chatbot can navigate your product catalog and find the best products that match what they want.
Conclusion
The need for digital transformation has led to many technologies like chatbots to revolutionize the way businesses conduct their customer engagement and support processes.
