Having always-on digital assistants available to deliver fast and personalised service is now the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But chatbots don\u2019t just benefit customers \u2014 they&#8217;re transformative for businesses, too. Every customer interaction is an opportunity for bots to uncover insights quickly and systematically, and potentially pinpoint ones you may have missed otherwise. <br><br>In an age where data is king, chatbots can collect and analyse conversational data from direct interactions with your customers. What are their biggest pain points? What questions keep coming up? With that knowledge, you can fine-tune your products and deliver even better service and support for your customers. (<a href=\"#learn\">Back to top<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to\">How to pick the best AI chatbot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With new chatbot options constantly hitting the market and offering varying specialties, it\u2019s important to sort through the clutter and determine what is the best AI chatbot for your business. Understanding your specific needs, comparing costs, exploring customisation options, utilising your company\u2019s existing data, and weighing functionality are all important factors to consider when deciding which AI chatbot to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, consider these questions to pick the best AI chatbot for your business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-what-are-your-goals\">1. What are your goals?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are specialised chatbots for everything from customer service to sales to marketing. So, the first step is to identify how a chatbot will help you accomplish your business goals. \u201cWhat is the business outcome you want? For example, reduce cost, increase sales, or minimise customer service volume?\u201d said Aron Kale, director of product management on the Salesforce AI team. \u201cGetting really clear on what you want out of your chatbot is an important first step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if providing better, more efficient customer service is your goal, prioritise chatbots that are adept at resolving common customer queries. Or, if automating repetitive internal tasks is the priority, look for chatbots that will integrate with existing systems and can handle multi-step workflows. If you\u2019re focused on finding a solution to help increase sales and drive more conversions, find an AI assistant that can do things like make personalised customer recommendations and manage transactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A broader view is also beneficial to consider the ways an AI chatbot could make a bigger long-term impact. Are there downstream key performance indicators that your AI chatbot could affect? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, an HR chatbot could improve employee productivity and engagement by providing around-the-clock employee support, answering questions about company benefits, or sending automated reminders for project deadlines. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sales<\/a> chatbot might boost conversion rates and lower customer acquisition costs by helping sales teams zero in on the highest-quality prospects. Or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/service\/cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer service<\/a> chatbot can improve satisfaction, loyalty, and retention metrics by providing personalised customer assistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your goals are, it\u2019s important to understand the varied abilities of the different AI chatbot solutions on the market. Chatbots run the gamut, from those that are purely question-and-answer solutions to tools that can resolve issues independently from start to finish. Map out the ideal level of conversational complexity, task automation, language support, and human-AI interaction for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-where-does-your-data-live\">2. <strong>Where does your data live?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important factors to consider when picking the best AI chatbot for your business is access to your data. How easily the tool can tap into your company&#8217;s own data can mean the difference between a richly personalised output and one that\u2019s generic and unhelpful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThink about it in terms of what your human workers need in order to do their jobs well. Those are the same things your chatbot needs,\u201d Kale explained. \u201cSo if you want your chatbot to focus on customer service issues, your chatbot needs to know your policies and look up an order status. Which you can pull in through tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Cloud<\/a> and MuleSoft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about the wealth of information contained in your company\u2019s customer records, product information, service histories, internal policies, prospective customer data, and more. This data is a goldmine of insights, but it&#8217;s often spread across siloed databases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/crm\/\">CRM software<\/a>, conversation histories, and document repositories. Instead of giving generic responses, an AI chatbot that can access, understand, and seamlessly use this data can provide actionable answers that are specific to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say that you run an online sports apparel store and a new customer asks the chatbot, &#8220;When will my order arrive?&#8221; A basic chatbot might reply with a standard line like &#8220;Orders typically ship in 3-5 business days.&#8221; <br><br>In contrast, a chatbot with access to your order management system would be able to respond in a much more personalised way: &#8220;Your order #913 for a Sacramento Kings jersey shipped yesterday via UPS. It&#8217;s expected to arrive this Thursday.&#8221; This kind of interaction goes a long way toward building brand loyalty, and the customer data needed to enable it likely already resides within your existing systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A data-connected chatbot can also work wonders for your HR team. A chatbot that can tell employees exactly how many vacation days they have left or explain retirement plans based on their personal file makes for a great employee experience. And in sales, it can recommend products that complement a customer&#8217;s past purchases. In short, an AI chatbot that connects seamlessly to your company data is a true expert in your business, not just a generic assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing chatbots, understand how different solutions connect to various data sources. Can it integrate with common systems like Salesforce, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics? Does it support APIs to link to custom databases? How does it handle data security? The best chatbot for your business is the one that not only understands natural language, but also transforms your data into an important asset that can build lasting brand loyalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-one wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\">State of Service has landed<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">Find out how AI will impact service delivery in our new State of Service report.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-service\/\">Download now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__contour\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<!-- Standard Illustration -->\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__illustration\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-illustration-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\t<!-- Small Accent Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__accent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-accent-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Left Side Illustration -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Cloud Illustration -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-offer__graphics wp-block-offer__cloud\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/offer-block\/offer-cloud-layout-one.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-what-resources-do-you-need-to-get-going\">3. <strong>What resources do you need to get going?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you evaluate different chatbot solutions, it&#8217;s important to have realistic expectations around technical expertise, budget, time to invest in learning, and what the AI can and can&#8217;t do right out of the box. How easy it is to integrate into your existing system should be a consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, is it a low- or no-code option that needs minimal training to get up and running? What level of technical skill is required for customisations or updates? Are there additional costs for scaling or advanced functionality down the road? Getting a strong handle on the real human effort and total cost of ownership needed to get the most out of your chatbot is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, consider what internal data your chatbot needs to be trained on to be effective across your marketing, service, sales, and IT teams. Uniting all your structured and unstructured data under one roof is the best way to get the most out of it, and making that data available through a conversational AI like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/einsteincopilot?d=cta-body-promo-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Einstein Copilot<\/a> can be a game changer for every facet of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if this big, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/blog\/customer-service-stats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exciting new world of AI<\/a> is all a bit overwhelming, it\u2019s important to know that you can start small and build up. \u201cIt\u2019s really possible to start small and really simple, with things like Q&amp;A and knowledge articles,\u201d Kale said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to integrate to 50 things right away \u2014 you can add use cases and expand it to meet different use cases over time.\u201d (<a href=\"#learn\">Back to top<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"revolution\">The AI chatbot revolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As natural language processing capabilities continue to advance, we can expect these virtual assistants to become even more humanlike and intuitive.
