Using NLP, chatbots can understand and interpret customer inquiries in natural language, enabling more conversational interactions.
Through various channels such as websites, mobile apps, and social media, chatbots interact with customers seamlessly, providing information and support.
Machine learning algorithms enable bots to learn from customer interactions over time, refining responses and improving accuracy.
