What is a voicebot?

open vertical icon

A voicebot, also known as Conversational IVR, is software that uses AI, Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and speech-to-text (STT) alongside text-to-speech (TTS), to understand the intent and meaning of a human and respond in human language. Voicebots are often found via customer service numbers, allowing callers to engage with a self-service solution with their voice rather than speaking with a human agent.

How WhatsApp Business Can Help With Abandoned Carts Recovery

Picture the scene as a customer: we've made the decision that we're going to buy something and we've added it to the cart, but for whatever reason, we don't follow through with the transaction. Sometimes we forget that we've added items to the cart; other times the phone rings just as we're about to click pay and we forget about it. On other occasions, we see something at the last minute that we don't like the look of that makes us think twice about buying.

Happy clients, happy agents: The "platform effect" in customer service

As a member of the customer service team, you stand on the front lines of customer interaction every day. In a world where customers demand quick and personalised service - long wait times, impersonal responses, or worse, incorrect answers, can quickly drive a customer away. Your goal, however, is to connect customers with your organisation and deliver the best answers and service possible. It’s incredibly satisfying to see a customer leave a conversation happier and eager to purchase your product. Your efforts can significantly enhance the customer experience, but you need the right tools to truly excel. Integrating these tools into a platform amplifies your capabilities and lets you experience the power of the platform effect.

Today's diverse array of communication channels encourages customers to naturally gravitate towards their preferred social platforms and anticipate brands to be readily accessible across these channels. Rarely will customers go out of their way to switch between channels just to reach you; instead, they are likely to opt for a brand that not only provides the desired product but also ensures excellent customer service (on the channel they like most).
