DheeYantra Research labs- AI based cognitive conversational agents
Situation:
In the past decade advances in Artificial intelligent technologies have helped it enter various industries as AI influenced assistants. But most of them like Siri and Google assistant have limited conversational skills. Through machine learning, the assistants could learn different responses to queries and hence would improve its functionality and accuracy.
Problems and implications:
Some of the problems with normal chat-boxes or human conversational agents are as follows:
Limited queries: Chat boxes are programmed to answer only a few specific questions based on the domain. A human conversational agent can at a time, answer only a few queries. These limits affect the efficiency of the company.
Customer satisfaction: Due to the limited queries solved by chat boxes, and the higher expectations of customers, they are seldom satisfied with the service. In terms of personal conversations, people expect a degree of emotions which such chat-boxes are unequipped to provide.
Limited languages: Most of the chat-boxes and human conversational agents find it hard to sense the language spoken by customers. Moreover, the translation feature of such chat-boxes isn’t efficient enough and takes more time as the length of the conversation increases.
Work-force: To hire a workforce efficient enough to handle all the queries, takes up a lot of the company resources which could have been used in other departments.
Need pay-offs:
Companies like DheeYantra provide AI based cognitive conversational agents to solve the above problems in the following ways:
Improve productivity: Through in-built information and real-time updating of domain knowledge, AI-based conversational agents can improve the productivity of a company.
