Impact of COVID-19 on Global Chatbot Market
The COVID-19 epidemic has helped increase the global use of chatbot technology. Following the epidemic, the use of chatbots for health care applications will continue to grow. Chatbots, a new technology that allows access to information via text or voice-based communication, proves its value during a coronavirus disaster and shows how this new communication channel can be helped in the coming years by many groups and institutions. Many companies and organizations are leading the way in sending chatbots to provide COVID-19 information. The two most authoritative sources of the epidemic, the WHO and the CDC have included discussions on their websites to provide the latest information on billions of cases of the disease and its symptoms. Many governments also introduce chatbots to provide guaranteed information to their citizens.
Driver: Increasing demand for self-service operations
In today's digital reality, customers expect an immediate solution. They prefer to go the easy way to communicate whenever they need help. No matter how common or complicated their question maybe, they just need to get the job done, without having to wait a long time. Customer self-help is about giving clients the power to resolve their questions, without wasting time looking for a support agent. The customer support solution allows businesses to be available 24/7 and reduces the number of incoming inquiries (emails or calls) by about 30-40%. However, with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and powerful NLP technology, businesses have begun using AI chatbots to drive higher ROI as part of their self-service strategy.
Opportunity: Self-learning Chatbots
Self-learning chatbots are the ones that rely on Machine Learning and other AI tools for chatting. Understanding and contextual dialogue solutions, nuances of language, and effectively dealing with obscure Visual Aids, instead of simple chatbots. IBM Watson is an AI discussion engine for building applications that can understand and respond using native language. It uses Artificial Intelligence and computer thinking technology to create a self-study chatbot. Chatbots, powered by the IBM Watson engine, can learn from formal and informal data, understand the context of this data, and provide accurate answers through machine learning and in-depth learning.
Challenge: Lack of awareness
For chatbots to be widely accepted by users, it is important that they feel useful and enjoyable. While there is a growing body of research on user capture and chatbot usage, there is a lack of conceptual-based studies that explain what constitutes a good or bad chatbot user experience. Businesses around the world help their customers connect with them through call centers, email, or IVRS and very few have invested in bots. A chatbot is a digital tool that, when used successfully, brings many benefits to customers and businesses. While there are many benefits to business chatbots and end customers, it is still unclear why businesses are reluctant to invest in this digital tool. Unfortunately, the use of chatbots between businesses has reached the expected level.
