Conversation AI Modes and settings

The Conversation AI bot has 3 modes for your account:

  2. Suggestive - The bot responses are available inside the message composer box for the sub-account user to send as is or edit before sending.
  3. Auto-pilot - The bot automatically responds to a contact on behalf of the business.

Configuring Bot's Intent

Currently, there are 2 intents supported by the bot:

  1. General Support or Q/A - Provides information to the contact's queries based on the training information
  2. Appointment Booking - Ask a few questions (customizable) and then book an appointment on the calendar.

Note: If an appointment for a contact is already booked i.e. in the Active/Confirmer state, the intent will dynamically switch to General support for that contact till the appointment is either completed or cancelled


Testing the Bot (Bot Trial)

  • The intent to test can be selected from the dropdown and the bot will respond to you the same way it will respond to a contact
  • Feedback can be provided by using the "Thumbs Up and Down" under each bot's response to fine-tune and add FAQs to be trained
