After rapid growth, automated web chat has stalled as rules-based bots reach the limit of their capabilities. Discover how true AI boosts the uptake and success of chatbots and voicebots.

About This Report

Business drivers for chatbots, voicebots and conversational AI are based on making self-service a better experience for customers while reducing the costs of unnecessary calls.

The use of chatbots has seen a rapid rise in the proportion of web chats handled automatically, and a significant drop in the cost of doing so.

As the uptake of AI means that the subjects handled by chatbots and voicebots becomes increasingly sophisticated, this has a positive effect on call queues and customer experience.

With around 25% of calls being from customers who have tried – and failed – to resolve their issues online, the opportunity for improving performance and CX through improving and developing self-service is massive.

However, there is now a levelling-off in chatbot effectiveness and outcomes, as rules-based bots reach the limits of their capabilities. The next step is to use agentic and generative AI to move the chatbot / voicebot revolution forward.
