Top 10 Things You Can Achieve With Azure AI Chatbots
1. Transform Enterprise Communication
Since people spend most of their hours working, bots can be used to automate tasks such as arranging meetings, website traffic tracking, providing advanced search functionality, changing/querying records, etc. These actions can be time-consuming for humans but instantaneous for bots.
2. Empower Customers To Self-Serve
Recent research by Helpshift reveals that most customers dread when reaching out to the customer support team. Some people find that phone calls are inconvenient, while others find them frustrating and time-consuming. The same survey also discovered that “71% of consumers want the ability to solve most customer service issues on their own”. Intelligent bots can increase the self-service of queries with deep AI and machine learning capabilities.
3. Improve Response and Resolution Time
Deploying chatbots eliminates waiting hours because when customers have issues with your product/service, they’ll quickly lose patience when it cannot be rectified timely. With AI bots, when customers need assistance, your company can be there, even outside business hours. Automating query resolution can help address customer needs in a matter of seconds. Moreover, 67% of queries are repetitive, and the bot can naturally converse in 100+ languages; you can fasten query resolution time.
4. Understand the Intent of Customer Queries
The bots inbuilt with machine learning capabilities understand customer’s thought processes with sentiment analysis, intent prediction, etc. This capability of the chatbots enables customers to feel their voice is being heard and understood. Chatbots are flexible, and businesses can use them to help people with sales information, technical support, or accounts management.
5. Empower Employees to do High-Value Work
You can save massively by slashing the time your staff spends handling customer queries by deploying a chatbot. When you cut down human interaction across all channels – phone calls, emails, social media, etc. employees can focus on work that boosts business productivity and increases profits. So you can divert up to 70% of call center traffic freeing up employees to do productive works, save person-hours, and increase $$$$ with the messaging-first approach.
6. Boost Customer Engagement with Voice Bots
Chatbots can elevate brand value and improve customer engagement by analyzing their past interactions, feedback and then using them effectively to personalize their interactions. You can even deploy bots with capabilities like emotional AI, synthetic voice, and human-like content switching to boost customer engagement.

You can integrate bots across different channels of your organization – website, social media, IoT devices, etc.- and broaden how customers can reach you. This makes your company available to customers round the clock and enables them to have seamless interaction at any time.
8. Timely Include Human Agents in the Loop
AI chatbot can predict customers’ behavior, interpret their intent and sentiment with machine learning capabilities, and knows when to bring in a human agent. For example, customer escalations, help desk triage, etc. kind of scenarios cannot be handled by bots completely without human interruptions. In those cases, bots hand over the control to customer support staff.
9. Automate FAQs and Repetitive Queries
Mundane tasks can be dull and draining for people, but a bot will never complain.
