Automation is the key to build resilient business operations to achieve competitive advantage while controlling costs. Chatbots are at the forefront of this automation revolution! They are in fact termed as the 4th Industrial revolution helping companies achieve that 10x, 20x, 30x reduced operational costs and at the same time increase revenue by taking the Business to customers on popular channels such as SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Sametime and more!

By augmenting your workforce with a mix of human and automated work, you can easily increase productivity by more than 50x! One could deploy digital workers to collaborate with humans where workforce gaps are identified and enable employees to focus on higher value work. IBM leads the automation and AI market with its product like IBM Watson ranked #1 in the Gartner and Forrester quadrants. Many companies have benefited from the advantages of such AI powered automation via Bots. For example, The London Borough of Redbridge wanted to simplify communication with residents regarding rubbish collection. The borough launched an AI-powered chatbot (IBM Watson powered Bot) that could answer straight-forward questions and allowed users to find out when their holiday bin collection date was scheduled. As a result of which, the Government entity of UK experienced.
Royal Bank of Scotland experienced similar results! Their IBM Watson powered AI Chatbot weaved automated assistance seamlessly with human intervention as result of which 50% of customer questions were answered by the assistant without human intervention and there was a 20% reduction in the length of agent / customer conversations. This and many such stories lead us to conclude that indeed the evolution of Chatbots from Web world of the 90’s, Mobile World of the early 2000’s, FAQ based Bot era of the past decade and the current Transaction based Bots world can solve some of the most pressing business problems across industries and domains becoming the new imperative, a must and the go-to solution for all Businesses in the world!
