When does a chatbot help your business, and when doesn't it?

A chatbot is a good tool for the right job and a harmful one for others. Here is how to tell them apart.

Where it works

Repeated questions with stable answers: opening hours, order status, returns policy, booking steps. Here the bot saves time and answers at any hour.

Where it harms

Sensitive complaints, emotional situations and large financial decisions. If the bot insists on answering instead of handing the customer to a person, you lose the customer.

Pick one measurable task, such as answering booking questions, and watch results for two weeks before expanding. A small, proven success beats a broad, untuned launch.

Make handover to a person easy

A clear button to reach a person, with the conversation context passed along so the customer doesn't repeat themselves. That detail alone decides customer satisfaction.
