Last updated November 28, 2017

Companies are using chatbots to scale more and more. While chatbots are powerful engagement tools, they often fall short in creating personalized, human interactions.

In this interactive eBook, we discuss chatbot abilities and limitations, the importance of human support, and how to make a clean switch from bot support to human support.

  • Autoresponders
  • Managing expectations
  • Transparency
  • How to train your support team
