The rise of the chatbot

Love them or loathe them, chatbots are here to stay.

Using artificial intelligence to simulate human interaction is not a new concept, with the first attempts to develop this type of technology dating back to the 1960s. However, the success of online assistants such as Siri and Alexa in the 2010s has paved the way for wider acceptance of AI in many aspects of customer service.

Financial Services organisations have clearly recognised the substantial cost savings chatbots can generate, significantly reducing the amount of human time required to service customer needs.

However, from a customer perspective, will the 24/7 availability of the chatbot counterbalance any perceived shortcomings? What do business customers really think of chatbots? Are they viewed as a necessary evil or a time-saving miracle?

And where should financial services organisations focus their attention in order to improve the chatbot user experience?
