Chatbots suck, because AI just isn't good enough or empowered enough to actually help in 99% of requests.
ChatBOXES on the other hand are amazing, a few reasons why:
- You can't accidentally hang up and have to re-dial and wait on hold
- There's an incentive for the company to respond while the customer is there, because they might disappear at any moment (unlike email)
- There's a record in writing
- It works with people with poor language skills
- No hold music & you can see where you are in the queue
- Support teams can scale by handling multiple conversations at once and using copy/paste from scripts, terms etc.
- You can include hyperlinks, screenshots etc. to make things super clear or open up other tools (e.g. screen share)
- Contact details, email address etc. can't be misheard
- No bad signal / fuzzy line
- You can data mine the requests to figure out common requests and optimize for them
Long live the chatbox!
