Artificial Intelligence and chatbots are not a recent invention. They date way back to the 1960s when the world’s first virtual assistant, ELIZA was created to enable man-to-machine conversations. So why all the hype now? Why is there a new-found love for intelligent chatbots in the current digital territory?

Customers today are not merely looking for a product or service anymore. They are looking for a user experience. The reason why Siri and Alexa became an instant hit is because they are smart vitual assistants; they offer value to the customer with a human touch to it. From setting an alarm, to booking a cab and playing your favorite music, they can do it all within seconds and understand diverse human intentions and communicate accurately. And that’s what has brought businesses to realize that their customers are ready for eBots, and they should buckle up soon.

Companies have started adopting industry based chatbots, which are capable of interacting with humans via text or voice platforms. Bots are not just a fun, easy to use, and useful invention, there’s a lot more to it. If you’re considering integrating your business with a smart chatbot, here are five compelling reasons you should.
