AiChat Introduces Hybrid Generative AI Chatbot Capabilities for Enterprises

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, enterprises are seeking innovative solutions to meet the increasing demand for efficient and personalized customer service. Generative AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a popular choice, promising human-like interactions and enhanced user experiences. As the demand for efficient and personalized customer service grows, many enterprises are turning to chatbots powered by generative AI models. However, the rush to adopt this technology has led to a flood of chatbot developers creating solutions that fail to provide a seamless user experience and tangible business value. As a result, many generative AI chatbots have ended up as little more than glorified website search engines, providing superficial suggestions or redirecting users to external articles or web pages for further information.

In this blog post, we will explore the potential of using generative AI in customer service chatbots, while also highlighting the limitations of such models and how AiChat’s hybrid approach aims to address these challenges.

Generative AI models, like ChatGPT, have shown great promise in generating human-like text responses. However, several limitations hinder their effectiveness in building chatbots that truly meet enterprise requirements.

• Unreliable Training Data

  Generative AI models are trained on vast datasets from the internet, which may contain inaccurate, irrelevant, or inappropriate information. If the training data is biased, the generated responses will reflect that bias, leading to inaccurate or outdated answers. Additionally, these models can often “hallucinate” and provide nonsensical or misleading information.

• Brand Consistency Challenges

  Maintaining brand tonality and adhering to brand guidelines is crucial for large enterprise brands. However, generative AI models cannot consistently generate responses that align with a brand’s strict guidelines on tonality and personality. Responses need to be carefully curated and approved by the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) before sharing them with customers.

• Text-based Limitations

  While generative AI models excel at processing text-based tasks, they lack the ability to perform other essential functions, such as setting marketing automation workflows, customer profiling, surveys, lead scoring, and remarketing tasks. To deliver a comprehensive customer experience, chatbots powered solely by generative AI would require integration with a Conversational CX platform.

Recognizing the limitations of relying solely on generative AI models, AiChat has developed a hybrid multilayer model approach to maximize the potential of customer service chatbots. By combining the strengths of generative AI with traditional NLP models, AiChat’s approach aims to deliver accurate, personalized, and scalable solutions for enterprises.

AiChat’s chatbot toggles between two models dynamically, providing the most suitable response based on the specific use case. For queries that require retrieving information from third-party information or tasks such as syncing up with CRM, eCommerce, or booking systems, a traditional NLP model is employed. This ensures reliable and up-to-date information is provided to customers.

For brands with vast inventories or rapidly changing product catalogues, relying on generative AI model would be a more effective solution. Simply upload the product brochures and provide the URLs of the product pages to train the generative AI to return responses found in these brand resources. AiChat enables brands to seamlessly switch the model, allowing the chatbot to retrieve detailed information about products without having the AI trainer to manually train the bot to understand every single product.
