Haven’t you interacted with a voice-activated assistant — Alexa? Siri? Google Assistant? Irrespective of your accent, these Chatbots communicate with you based on scripted elements. Chatbots are nestled in the midway between the real and artificial world and whether you love them or hate them, this one trend is going nowhere.

How To Get Started With Chatbots

The idea of having a Chatbot of your own is one of the most exciting things (after revenues) for a company, no? So here’s all you need to get started with your Chatbot:

1. Define goals

Spend some time in R&D and know which areas in your department can be programmed. Nailing down a specific goal in specific areas will save time and resources. Chatbots can be used to provide customer support. It can also be used to generate quality leads or chat with customers on your social media too!

2. Set platform

Consider your options right. Chatbots can be on your website, on your social media messenger, or even on your Twitter!

Super tip: study your customer or visitor demographics. A demographic profile will help you decide which kind of audience would need what kind of response and at what time.

3. Build a content strategy

Construct a series of FAQs. The most likely questions can then be programmed into your chatbot.

4. Chatbot personality

Give your Chatbot a personality. A Chatbot for a Bar and lounge should have a fun and relaxed personality in communication while the one at a Multispeciality Hospital has to be serious and informative.

5. Guide with CTA

The chatbot’s conversation should lead to a call to action. Attest a CTA button so that your customer doesn’t have to wonder how and which department to connect to after he/she culminates Chatbot conversation.

Secret tip: Ask your content strategist to use emojis and gifs to make the computer-based interaction more human and engaging.
