Like all modern technology, chatbots are continually evolving their presence and continue to make advances. While we can not say for certain what direction chatbots will take, we can make predictions based on trends.
There are many chatbot trends that have been and gone. Though they have all left their mark on the world of chatbots and their use in business. We’re going to look at some of those potential options for chatbots and consider the directions they can take.
Increased Humanity
As it stands, even the most advanced chatbots find themselves often sounding a bit too robotic. It’s not their fault, the nuances and intricacies of human language make it difficult for any non-organic entity to communicate in a way that’s properly… well… human.
However, with advancements in technology, there’s little doubt that people will be able to experience a more human-sounding chatbot. In time, there the difference between a chatbot and a human customer service representative will become less obvious. You will only know if you’re told. We are continually moving towards that point.
A More Business-Oriented Approach
No longer an amusement or novelty, chatbots have settled into their role of providing with high-quality communication in business.
For business, this is good news! It means that the chatbot is only going to be optimised more and more for professional usage. Chatbots are used for different kinds of professional tasks. It’s logical to conclude that every update is going to be geared towards providing businesses with the best possible service.
Analysis As Standard
Among chatbots nowadays, it’s becoming common to collect information. About the business, the way that customers interact, and a whole host of other options besides. However, this is not something that is practiced by every company.
In spite of this, you’ll find that there’s going to be many changes made towards the idea of collecting information and analysis as a standard feature. Companies will be able to meticulously track the information that is collected by their chatbots and then analyse it for future reference.
Overall, these are some of the most likely trends for 2019, although we never will be able to say with absolute certainty until the future, when it arrives. It is easy to see how the chatbot could progress to a point where it becomes a popular way for people to enjoy their time speaking to a company. Human customer service representatives are always a good idea, but they’re also prone to restrictions and human error. These are things which you are less likely to see when you work with a chatbot, and they can do much more without the same kinds of challenges. Chatbots are the future of marketing and customer service, so it’ll be interesting to see how they develop over the years.
