What Is a Chatbot?

Chatbots are software applications able to interact with their users through a natural language conversation.

Chatbots can be designed to handle a limited number of requests or be fully fledged digital assistants offering highly personalized interactions. They can be deployed across a variety of channels (website, mobile or messaging applications) and can automate simple tasks.

There are two types of chatbots. The first type is based on rules, the second on artificial intelligence technologies.

Also known as decision tree chatbots, they interact with their users by proposing explicit predefined options (usually in the form of buttons). These bots produce highly structured interactions that follow predetermined paths. They are most effective for routine information requests (opening hours, delivery/application tracking, etc.) or for collecting leads. However they are not well suited for complex scenarios involving many conditions or factors.

They are “intelligent” chatbots which offer smooth and dynamic interactions. They use AI technologies including Machine Learning which allows them to “learn” and improve over time, and Natural Language Processing which transforms human language into structured data that a computer can understand. These chatbots are also capable of generating natural language responses.

NLP works by breaking down and analyzing a user’s input (sentences) to identify intents (the user’s goal) and entities (information related to an intent such as a location, a date, a color, etc). The recognition of known intents and entities (ones for which the chatbot has been trained) triggers a response or action from the bot.

These two types are not mutually exclusive. For optimal performance, the chatbots developed by Inceptive often are hybrid which combine the strengths of both the rules-based and AI type. Our bots understand natural language but also rely on predefined conversation flows. They are able to analyze and memorize the context of a conversation, switch from one conversation scenario to another and can respond to spontaneous user requests at any point of a conversation.

  • KPIs

Detailed usage and performance metrics are available through an online account. They are presented in visual form and can easily be exported as CSV files.

  • CHAT LOGS

The online account gives access to a complete chat history and can display each past conversation in full. This feature is useful to identify and understand why conversations fail and improve the bot.

Chatbots must be designed and developed methodically

The technologies and technical expertise involved in chatbot development are mere tools. They are only as powerful as the reflection on the bot’s scope and objectives is thorough and well thought out. The definition of the bot’s scope during the design phase remains the most decisive factor in the overall success of a chatbot project.
