According to Gartner, a high percentage of businesses will have abandoned their chatbots and virtual agent applications within a few years of their launch. But why?

The way you design self-service customer conversations matters more than the artificial intelligence (AI) behind it, and even the best-designed virtual agents require care and feeding. With continued monitoring and maintenance of your virtual agent, you can increase customer self-service rates and customer satisfaction, as well as reduce interaction handle times and the cost per contact.
In this handbook, you’ll learn how to put tried and tested conversation design principles into practice when implementing a virtual agent, such as:
- The Do’s and Don’ts in conversation design.
- User authentication best practices.
- How to handle conversation errors.
