Recently, one of the world’s biggest technology companies came out with a sensational  product which will try to answer questions of hundreds and thousands of questions from customers on social networking sites which they have for their products and service which they bought from this company. It is said that the tool is using “Artificial Intelligence” to mimic how human converse and try to logically answer questions which as of now remain unanswered due to very large volume of questions that is  being posted from all over the world and most company struggle to provide satisfy customers.

This tool has great scope in customer service department of any organization as it can greatly improve customer satisfaction for the company where it can be trained, just like human to handle queries from customers over Internet. The good about this tool is that the knowledge content of this tools can be upgraded, meaning, it also accept newer information which will make sure that this tool never  goes outdated.

This tool is not at all a substitute for employing human to answer the questions from the client but it is great asset to serve customers which regularly ask repetitive information where nature of query of customer is based on static information like – “how to configure modem on my machine”  or, “how long it takes to register my company etc”. Answer to these questions won’t change too frequently and hence it is much better and cost-effective to employ this tool.

Organization all over the world won’t mind experimenting with this tool to increase the number of queries that can be answered in a day and secondly, it can also reduce significant investment cost that is done every year in hiring, training and then engaging humans to do the same work.
