Out of all the AI-infused tech out there, Chatbot technology is the most instantly functional and incredibly effective at driving customer engagements.

AI Chatbots is handy, easy, and intelligent and they’re only getting better.

The more human conversation the better they get at interpreting the nuances of language and respond accurately.

As Customers demand instant services, interactive solutions and hassle-free processes, the Bots should scale up these for them. Of all big names, Einstein Chatbot is in the race to help business see a considerable increase in sales and productivity. In short, Einstein Chatbots are the Future of Customer Service.

Einstein bots emphasis on assisting people and sending immediate answers to the same straightforward questions over and over again, leaving customer service reps more time to help customers with more complex questions or problems. It is designed to discover insights, predicts outcomes, recommends actions and automates tasks.

Einstein bots focus on the customer’s context and understands the customer expectations. It connects all data from the back-end systems for the Bot to take appropriate action. When the requests get complex, the Bot is intelligent enough to transfer the case to a human agent seamlessly. The reps can view prior conversations and actions addressed by the Bot.

The Salesforce Einstein chatbots are automated chatbots deployed for customer assistance and sales enablement. They use Natural Language Processing to comprehend the customer inputs and handle them by providing what they require.

The chatbot masters a group of phrases related to a specific intent. When the user inputs one of these phrases, the chatbot recognizes the purpose and carries out the desired action.

Technically, a bot is just a computer program that is trained:

Einstein bots offer the below-mentioned advantages:

• Send a quick response to the customers
• Immediate answers reduce the number of logged cases
• As chatbots handle simple cases, your agents can focus on solving complex cases
• Send customized greetings and messages to customers to make them feel important

• First and foremost, identify the requirements. For example, define the reason for using the chatbot?
• Next, find out the frequently asked questions by the target audience or customers. What kind of cases are often received?
• What kind of actions are you looking to automate for the customers without seeking the assistance of an in-person agent?
• Upon receiving answers to the above questions, start building the chatbot and use it to assist customers.

There are a few requisites you need to fulfill before starting to use the Einstein bot:

• Service Cloud License and Live Agent License.

You can start using Einstein bots when you have all these things ready. If you are using the Live Agent for the first time, you may find it difficult to set up these requisites. Fortunately, Salesforce offers a Live Agent Setup Flow (present in Service Set up) that lines up everything for you.

The Pre-chat form enables you to gather all the necessary information automatically. Later, the bot creates records depending on contacts, leads, and cases. Finally, you can disable the bot when not needed. Optimize the customer service with the right actions at the right time. Easily switch between the main menu and dialog branches. Also, you can set up and customize the dialog branches as needed.

The birth of Artificial Intelligence and advances in technology have become the groundwork for a new kind of interface – Conversational interface. This interface is a complete example of how customers interact with the system. It is absolutely true to say that – “Bots are the new Apps, Voice is the new Interface, and AI is the new Protocol.”

As bots become common in the near future, they will act as virtual agents representing the company by becoming the first port of call. They can handle sales, shipping queries, customer service and marketing or promotions like upselling and seasonal reminders and will play a key role in any business. Whatever the personal preferences of the leadership, IT can prove beyond doubt that a chatbot platform or AI CRM can function 24/7 in multiple languages and be easily updated. The trick comes in proving that customers are satisfied. There are many metrics that support this factor. But developers need to keep an eye on the security and risks that come in and be able to counter those with strong mechanisms. For more details, contact Royal Cyber’s Salesforce experts today.
