With simple tasks covered, live agents can put more of their energy toward solving complex problems and building relationships with customers — situations that often require empathy and compassion, which AI is less equipped to handle.</p>\n<p>Here are some of the other key benefits of AI chatbots for customer service teams:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improves efficiency and productivity.</strong> AI chatbots help save your customers and agents time. They can quickly assist with basic customer inquiries, solve straightforward issues, and collect and share information. If an issue escalates beyond their capacity, they can facilitate a resolution by connecting the customer with a live agent — and getting them up to speed prior to the interaction.</li>\n<li><strong>Offers 24/7 support.</strong> Chatbots can help with simple issues 24 hours a day. During busier times when live agents may be tied up, they can offer support by handling routine requests. They can also reply to customers during off hours, and collect information for live agents, so that inquiries do not go unanswered and can be handled immediately when live agents return to the office. This helps your team deliver consistent support and can improve customer satisfaction.</li>\n<li><strong>Enhances engagement and experience.</strong> AI chatbots can anticipate customer needs, deliver useful messages, and suggest next steps — helping to enhance the customer experience.

However, there are chatbots that specialise in accomplishing specific functions.</p>\n<p>Five common types include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transactional chatbots:</strong> These bots help with straightforward tasks such as processing orders, providing product information, or scheduling appointments. They streamline routine transactions, freeing up human agents for more complex cases.</li>\n<li><strong>Informational chatbots:</strong> Designed to deliver knowledge-based support, informational chatbots can answer frequently asked questions and provide relevant resources or documentation to users so they can find the answers they need quickly. These bots can help teams ramp up their <a href=\"https://www.salesforce.com/ap/blog/self-service-customer-service/\" target=\"_self\"><ins>self-service support</ins></a> efforts.</li>\n<li><strong>Problem-solving chatbots:</strong> These bots are used for diagnosing and resolving customer problems. They can guide users through troubleshooting steps and escalate issues to human agents if necessary. By addressing urgent concerns, they minimise resolution times and contribute to higher <a href=\"https://www.salesforce.com/blog/customer-satisfaction-score/\" target=\"_self\"><ins>customer satisfaction scores (CSAT)</ins></a>.</li>\n<li><strong>Feedback and survey chatbots:</strong> Used to send <a href=\"https://www.salesforce.com/blog/customer-satisfaction-survey/\" target=\"_self\"><ins>customer satisfaction surveys</ins></a> and collect feedback, these bots gather valuable insights to improve products, services, and customer experiences. This data helps teams analyse and understand customer feedback — crucial for ongoing strategy and communication refinement.</li>\n<li><strong>Hybrid chatbots:</strong> Combining elements of various chatbot types, hybrid chatbots offer versatility and flexibility in customer service interactions. They're also generally the most expensive to develop. They can seamlessly switch between transactional, informational, or problem-solving modes based on user needs and preferences, allowing them to resolve a greater variety — and higher volume — of customer issues.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Costs associated with developing AI chatbots can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the chatbot, its functionality, and the development approach. Service teams should prioritise their most important problems and select chatbot features accordingly.</p>\n","anchor_id":"types"},"path":"/agentforce/chatbot/what-is-an-ai-chatbot","urlLoc":"ap","curHref":"/ap/agentforce/chatbot/what-is-an-ai-chatbot/?bc=HA","cdnEnvTag":"stable","pageAttrs":{"livechat":{"enabled":true},"content_type":"page"},"wpTemplate":"resources-template","curLocale":"en-ap"},{"id":"1717766287551_ina","name":"sf/textmainbody","attributes":{"audience_segment":["customer","prospect"],"experiment_type":"content","headline":"What features should I look for in an AI chatbot?","headline_size":"h2","description":"<p>Once you know what you want a chatbot to handle, it's time to choose the best <a href=\"/ap/service/customer-service-chatbot/\" target=\"_self\"><ins>customer service solution</ins></a> for the job.

With simple tasks covered, live agents can put more of their energy toward solving complex problems and building relationships with customers — situations that often require empathy and compassion, which AI is less equipped to handle.</p> <p>Here are some of the other key benefits of AI chatbots for customer service teams:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Improves efficiency and productivity.</strong> AI chatbots help save your customers and agents time. They can quickly assist with basic customer inquiries, solve straightforward issues, and collect and share information. If an issue escalates beyond their capacity, they can facilitate a resolution by connecting the customer with a live agent — and getting them up to speed prior to the interaction.</li> <li><strong>Offers 24/7 support.</strong> Chatbots can help with simple issues 24 hours a day. During busier times when live agents may be tied up, they can offer support by handling routine requests. They can also reply to customers during off hours, and collect information for live agents, so that inquiries do not go unanswered and can be handled immediately when live agents return to the office. This helps your team deliver consistent support and can improve customer satisfaction.</li> <li><strong>Enhances engagement and experience.</strong> AI chatbots can anticipate customer needs, deliver useful messages, and suggest next steps — helping to enhance the customer experience. Their ability to provide personalised recommendations — such as new products or services — can increase your value to customers and keep them engaged with your company.</li> <li><strong>Provides self-service options. </strong>Our research found that <a href="/ap/resources/research-reports/state-of-service/" target="_self"><ins>61% of customers</ins></a> would rather use <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/resources/articles/what-is-self-service/" target="_self"><ins>self-service options</ins></a> for simple issues. AI chatbots can point them toward resources such as FAQs, <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/ap/blog/how-to-write-a-knowledge-base-article/" target="_self"><ins>knowledge base articles</ins></a>, and help centres. This is a win-win for organisations; they can cater to customer preferences while saving resources.</li> </ul> </div> </article> </div> </section> </div><div data-blade-id="1717766219825_6hc" data-blade-position="7" data-blade-name="sf/textmainbody" data-blade-variant="textmainbody" data-blade-source="www" data-blade-type="blade"> <section id="types" class="relative textmainbody--blade" > <div class="container"> <article class="grid grid_main text--left theme--light_gradient" data-module-id="1717766219825_6hc" data-module-name="What are some types of AI chatbots in customer service?" data-module-position="1" data-module-type="headline" data-module-track-impressions=""> <header class="textmainbody__blade-heading grid grid_sub"> <h2 class="headline text__headline--large" style=" "> What are some types of AI chatbots in customer service? </h2> </header> <div class="blade__description"> <p>When used for customer service, AI chatbots primarily handle basic service tasks and simple workflows. However, there are chatbots that specialise in accomplishing specific functions.</p> <p>Five common types include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Transactional chatbots:</strong> These bots help with straightforward tasks such as processing orders, providing product information, or scheduling appointments. They streamline routine transactions, freeing up human agents for more complex cases.</li> <li><strong>Informational chatbots:</strong> Designed to deliver knowledge-based support, informational chatbots can answer frequently asked questions and provide relevant resources or documentation to users so they can find the answers they need quickly. These bots can help teams ramp up their <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/ap/blog/self-service-customer-service/" target="_self"><ins>self-service support</ins></a> efforts.</li> <li><strong>Problem-solving chatbots:</strong> These bots are used for diagnosing and resolving customer problems. They can guide users through troubleshooting steps and escalate issues to human agents if necessary. By addressing urgent concerns, they minimise resolution times and contribute to higher <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/customer-satisfaction-score/" target="_self"><ins>customer satisfaction scores (CSAT)</ins></a>.</li> <li><strong>Feedback and survey chatbots:</strong> Used to send <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/customer-satisfaction-survey/" target="_self"><ins>customer satisfaction surveys</ins></a> and collect feedback, these bots gather valuable insights to improve products, services, and customer experiences. This data helps teams analyse and understand customer feedback — crucial for ongoing strategy and communication refinement.</li> <li><strong>Hybrid chatbots:</strong> Combining elements of various chatbot types, hybrid chatbots offer versatility and flexibility in customer service interactions. They're also generally the most expensive to develop. They can seamlessly switch between transactional, informational, or problem-solving modes based on user needs and preferences, allowing them to resolve a greater variety — and higher volume — of customer issues.</li> </ul> <p>Costs associated with developing AI chatbots can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the chatbot, its functionality, and the development approach. Service teams should prioritise their most important problems and select chatbot features accordingly.</p> </div> </article> </div> </section> </div><div data-blade-id="1717766287551_ina" data-blade-position="8" data-blade-name="sf/textmainbody" data-blade-variant="textmainbody" data-blade-source="www" data-blade-type="blade"> <section id="features" class="relative textmainbody--blade" > <div class="container"> <article class="grid grid_main text--left theme--light_gradient" data-module-id="1717766287551_ina" data-module-name="What features should I look for in an AI chatbot?" data-module-position="1" data-module-type="headline" data-module-track-impressions=""> <header class="textmainbody__blade-heading grid grid_sub"> <h2 class="headline text__headline--large" style=" "> What features should I look for in an AI chatbot? </h2> </header> <div class="blade__description"> <p>Once you know what you want a chatbot to handle, it's time to choose the best <a href="/ap/service/customer-service-chatbot/" target="_self"><ins>customer service solution</ins></a> for the job. Here are some important features to consider and how service teams can use them to maximise their benefits.</p> <ul> <li><strong>CRM integration:</strong> Look for a chatbot that can integrate seamlessly with your <a href="/ap/crm/" target="_self"><ins>customer relationship management (CRM)</ins></a> software. This will allow you to speed up issue resolution, automate routine tasks, and provide personalised, intelligent, and multilingual service based on your stored customer data. CRM integration also makes deploying these bots more efficient because relevant data is already present.</li> <li><strong>Built-in templates:</strong> A chatbot solution that offers templates can help you launch your bots quicker. Templates give you tailored solutions to choose from (suited to common and more specific situations) that can be built in seconds.</li> <li><strong>Omnichannel capacity:</strong> The ability to meet your customers where they're at is key in customer service. An <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/omnichannel-contact-center/" target="_self"><ins>omnichannel contact centre</ins></a> chatbot can support your service efforts by being available for live chat on websites, mobile apps, SMS messaging, and more.</li> <li><strong>Bot analytics:</strong> Good AI chatbot software will give you access to reporting, KPIs, and <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/customer-service-analytics/" target="_self"><ins>analytics</ins></a> so you can measure success. Using bot performance metrics, chat data, and cost information, you can track and optimise your bots' value against your <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/4-customer-service-metrics-you-should-measure/" target="_self"><ins>customer metrics goals</ins></a>.
