Chatbots
Chatbots can interpret a customer’s query and help them by answering simple questions, taking orders, offering product recommendations, providing stock detail, purchasing hotel rooms, or even completing a purchase. Simple chatbots are easy but they have limited use. Complex chatbots, however, utilize natural language processes and do everything from utilizing data from social media, IoT, and geolocation sensors. Some chatbots allow users to query databases and provide up to the minute product information. Others help salespeople in the field connect with leads. Chatbots can even be integrated with virtual assistants like Alexa, Siri, Samsung’s Bixby, and Google’s Assistant.
SEO : Search Engine Optimization
In his article How to use AI for link building and improve your search rankings, Kevin Rowe claims that “AI’s applications in the search engine optimization (SEO) world are continuing to expand to new horizons.” While Rowe admits no software exists that can leverage AI to build those all-important backlinks, brands can still use AI for data collection and site analysis to help in the link building process. NLP tools help determine if sites are contextually and keyword relevant. AI can also determine if a particular webpage affects search rankings. Rowe also believes AI can be used to augment and automate processes. Although link building can’t be made into an automatic process, AI can augment human processes to help influencers, whose backlinks could be instrumental in raising a website’s SEO rankings.
