265: (Tip) Chatbots and Humans


Listen Later

Jeannie and Adam share research and expert tips for getting chatbots and humans to work together in harmony.

Are chatbots and humans working well together?

Chatbots are here to stay, and new research says we love them! However, we have a long way to go before they can fully operate on their own. For instance, bots are great for answering simple questions, but real humans do need to step in to answer the tough ones.

“Not all chatbots are created equal not are all humans.” -Adam Toporek

Even the best chatbots can create experiences that frustrate customers, and eventually, chase them away – especially when real human contact is not within reach. So how can we use chat bots in ways customers will always appreciate? More importantly, how can we use them to reduce effort where it counts without alienating customers?

“AI and bots have the potential to make things better for your customers…” --Jeannie Walters

Inspired by new research, Adam and Jeannie are sharing expert tips for fine-tuning your chatbot to deliver excellent service when it can, and keeping it human when they can’t. What should you rely on chatbots for, and what situations are better left to humans from the start? Listen in for tips you can use today!
