Our new FAQ chatbot answers customers’ questions on your behalf

Starting today you can spend more time on other activities than just replying to conversations because our new FAQ chatbot deals with the most frequent questions on your behalf. Once you set it up, you won’t even know it’s there. It will help you to increase traffic on your website, and consequently, increase sales through the live chat.

How does the FAQ chatbot work?

With FAQ bot, you can provide replies to 5 most frequent questions faster than even before. Chatbot can automatically greet your visitors with a welcome message and after opening the chat box, visitors can choose from one of the pre-designed topics and they’ll receive an immediate response.

These answers can contain topics such as delivery information, payment methods, complaints and returns, opening hours of individual stores or new special offers. To make things easier, we’ve prepared some sample messages for you as well as a tutorial on how to activate chatbot in your account.

What’s next for FAQ bot?

The FAQ chatbot is just a first prototype of this new type of chatbot that we’ve been working on. Right now we are preparing a multi-level FAQ chatbot, which will be capable of answering customers’ more complex requests. With this new type of FAQ bot, you’ll be able to design multi-turn conversations. Your visitors will be able to pick from a couple of initial categories and gradually they’ll specify their question by choosing other sub-categories. In the end they’ll receive the most accurate answer depending on what categories they’ve previously selected.

Once this type of multi-level FAQ bot is finished, we are planning on implementing some other new features and improvements to make the chat bot more complex and sophisticated. For example, chatbot will be capable of sending chat messages to the conversation depending on different triggers. When the new version of chat bot is ready for launch, we’ll inform you. :)
