But before we dive deep down into the insights of Chatbots, let’s understand what is Chatbot in the real sense to grasp a better knowledge.

Chatbots

Chatbots are AI-enabled devices that chat and interact with humans in a personalized tone and emotions with the help of pre-recorded voices. They are very good at giving personalized outputs to questions asked by humans and are a great source of entertainment for the families.

These can be broadly divided into 3 major types, voice-enabled chatbots and text enabled Chatbots or a combination of both.

Voice-enabled Chatbots interact through voice. They have built-in algorithms that translate human tone and dialect into a coding language understandable by the device which in return revert back with relevant solutions in a humanistic tone and help the user to connect with the device just like any other human being.

Text enabled Chatbots are very common with which you might have interacted knowingly or unknowingly. Do you remember how can the icon in the chat section of apps like Zomato or Swiggy or even WhatsApp these days helps you by giving instant responses to your query in seconds? All these are examples of text-enabled Chatbots where you interact with the device through text messages.

Voice and text enabled Chatbots is a combination of both types of chatbots invented to overcome the weakness of both. These chatbots reply to you in both the mediums, audio and textual. These are the best options for those who are involved in multitasking and are baking cake while sending a text message to clients.
