FAQs

Will chatbots affect CSAT?

Our chatbots have delivered consistent CSAT increases for our clients. Average handling time (AHT) is mere seconds for common inquires and significantly reduced for higher-tiered tasks managed by human agents.

What does the typical HGS chatbot deployment look like?

We build bots in six easy steps:

Discovery: Define business and technical requirements. Review client analytics on best use cases.
Development: Set up environments (dev, QA, staging, and production)
Internal QA: Create and finalize test plans, sign off, and bug fixes
Training: Prepare training guide and conduct training sessions
User Testing: Conduct user acceptance testing and fix issues
Launch, Maintenance, and Analytics: Go-live and ensure continual bot assessment and improvements

Do customers actually like chatbots?

The State of Chatbots 2018 research found that consumers feel chatbots can be up to 35% better at answering both quick and complex questions than other applications. In 5 of the 10 use cases, the study further suggested that baby boomers are more likely than millennials to see greater benefits from chatbots. This alters the notion that modern technology is only appealing to younger generations. People are increasingly choosing to chat (or text message) rather than search on a website or talk on the phone.
