Chatbot projects often have a reputation for being time-consuming and costly to implement. However, chatbots today come in all shapes and sizes with various capabilities and levels of advancement.

Chatbots are your first line of customer service and a crucial part of your virtual assistance solution. As exciting it might be to have a face to face conversation with a robot, the technology still doesn’t live up to online users’ expectations.
Implementing a chatbot is an excellent method for interacting with your (potential) customers 24/7/365 while keeping cost in check. If you are not yet considering jumping into a chatbot and AI bandwagon, you should!
However, before you reap benefits mentioned above, you need to do some work. Building a chatbot that delivers results requires both time and effort.

Once again, there's an industry-wide hype around chatbots but this time, that hype will pay off. And there are two simple reasons why they will actually make it.
