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.
Ever had a conversation where you talk to a person who hears you but doesn't actually listen?
Well that’s usually the case with a chatbot. Chatbots can bring efficiency to the business but at the end of the day, they are brainless tools.
There isn’t as much AI or actual machine learning going on as people might think, chatbot knowledge effectively comes from the people programming them.
But that’s not to say that chatbots are useless, the real issue is that they shouldn’t be used in isolation, they need to complement and assist rather than replace the agent.
Chatbots alone usually fail at generating new customers, sales and leads, they need a human touch and that’s where giosg can help!
Why do you need both a live chat and chatbot?
Chatbots can’t efficiently onboard new customers on their own, these functionalities are only possible if the chatbot is given the tools and platform it needs.
Chatbots are often used to answer basic FAQ type of inquiries, and even then, they often struggle to come up with the right answers, leaving the customer confused or with a negative view of your customer service.
By using giosg’s platform, you can easily add a human agent into the equation, but only when it’s needed and wanted.
The efficient collaboration between the chatbot and your customer service agent is the key to success.

Improved customer experience and efficiency
-
-
When your chatbot can't answer, the conversation will be escalated to a customer service agent there and then, instead of making your customers switch channels to phone or email
-
When the customer service agent takes over the conversation, the chatbot goes quiet but remains present as an intelligent assistant, suggesting potential answers to help your agents respond faster.
-
Intelligent targeting
-
giosg provides intelligent targeting to determine where and when the chatbot should be triggered.
In some cases, it might be more beneficial to trigger a human operated chat or a form instead of a chatbot. giosg provides an easy-to-use interface to set this up.
Fast and efficient live chat
-
-
giosg provides real-time visitor analytics in the live chat window (such as the pages the user has visited) and has a co-browse functionality which enables agents to see exactly what the user is seeing, enabling customer service agents to operate faster and more efficiently.
-
Integrations
-
-
giosg is not limited to bot integrations, the platform easily integrates with 3rd party systems such as CRMs, contact centre technologies and e-signing tools to name a few.
