Chatbots or voicebots with AI? Among the large list of benefits offered by these conversational solutions, it's hard to choose which one to stick with. But who said you had to choose? Imagine a chatbot that starts a conversation and then transfers it to a voicebot to guide a more complex process. It's like having a personal assistant always available!
We are often tempted to choose between one option or another, as if they were direct competitors. However, this limited perception doesn't do justice to the complexity of customer needs and preferences.
The reality is that both chatbots and voicebots are essential to a complete and effective process. Imagine having to choose between just talking on the phone or sending text messages: Wouldn't it be more convenient to have both options to meet different customer preferences? In the same way, offering both tools allows us to adapt to the individual preferences of our users, without sacrificing the experience of others.
It's about offering a complete and adaptable experience, where customers can choose the channel that best suits them, and we can satisfy them in the best possible way. Instead of seeing them as competitors, we should recognize them as two complementary ingredients that, when combined and artificial intelligence added to them, create a perfect recipe for customer service success.
A matter of age...
It is common that in the digital age, the implementation of chatbots is prioritized due to the preference of new generations for written communication and the convenience of instant messages. However, in the business reality, we find ourselves with a diversity of audiences that encompass different demographics and communication preferences.
Although it is true that new generations tend to prefer conversational solutions through chat, we cannot ignore the importance of also serving those who are more comfortable using the telephone or voice. The real key to successful customer service lies in inclusion and adaptability, where both chatbots and voicebots play a crucial role in creating a comprehensive and accessible experience for all our customers.
