Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a type of technology that enables consumers to interact with computer applications to get a specific job done. It comprises advanced chatbots and virtual agents that engage with human to provide solutions for various problems and complete a particular task. It utilizes large volumes of data, machine learning (ML), and natural language processing to help imitate human interactions, recognize speech and text inputs, and translate their meanings to various languages. Conversational AI uses a spontaneous feedback loop with ML processes to improve the AI algorithms continuously. It integrates input generation, input analysis, dialogue management, and reinforcement learning to refine responses over time and ensure high accuracy. It can answer frequently asked questions (FAQs), troubleshoot issues, and conduct small talk with users. It is extensively utilized by businesses to enhance their customer experience, create a personalized experience for their targeted customers, and solve customer support tickets. Furthermore, as conversational AI increases productivity and saves time and money, its demand is increasing around the world.
