How is it different from other AI chatbots?

  • Channel Talk's support bot is a chatbot that operates based on a set scenario. You can design and create your own scenarios according to the conditions of your target client base.

  • To use AI chatbots, a sufficient database needs to be collected first and currently, AI technology is dependent on collected data. Using AI technology may not be the best option to use since you may encounter limitations. Therefore, we need a chatbot that clearly works according to the scenario, and our support bot will be the right choice!
