How many times has a chatbot successfully taken care of a customer support problem you had? I have had success, but the success rate is less than 5%. Maybe even way less than 5%.

Companies need to stop looking at customer support as an expense, but rather as an opportunity to build trust and strengthen your business relationship. They warn against assessing someone when everything is going well for them - the true measure of the person is what they do when things are not going well. It's the same for companies. When your customers are experiencing problems, that's the time to shine! It's not a problem, it's an opportunity.

Its slightly more useful than a static "choose this number to direct you to X".

What really grinds my gears is when they pass the bot off as a human. inevitably you discover its not and thats almost always right about the same time you realize that they cant help you. I would rather not have wasted my time and been told up front "sorry we dont have anyone available to help you right now"
