Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Knowledgebase Allows users to create knowledgebase articles, metadata tags, creation data and author's name

Integration With CRM The chatbot’s integration with the organization’s CRM would allow for customer information to be queried, once the customer’s identity has been verified.

Workflow Processing By leveraging the chatbot’s AI capabilities, the intelligent routing of data across an organization, based on pre-defined parameters of a workflow.

Multi-channel Supports live chat, mobile app, powerbot and messenger

Leads Generation The chatbot can take its interaction as input as a possible new sales lead, for follow-up by an organization’s business development office.

Scheduled Availability The ability to schedule when the chatbot will be available, if its role is to augment a service desk on an after hours basis.

Natural Language Processing Allows chatbot to “understand” voice/text inputs relayed by a human in conversational vernacular, and be able to process & relay feedback in natural speech.

Voice or Text Input Chatbot interaction through audible (voice) or text (keyboard) input.

Wayfinding Allows the chatbot to act as a site’s search engine, in addition to a text-based search field, and have access to a service desk’s service catalog.

Application Programming Interface For more customized needs, the chatbot may have an API which would allow an in-house developer to access features of the chatbox.

Personalized Service In conjunction with CRM integration, or through the use of browser cookies, the chatbot can be configured to deliver a more personalized service to the client.
