A chatbot is an AI-powered software designed to simulate human conversation through text or voice interactions. It assists users by answering questions, providing information, and performing tasks such as booking appointments or processing orders.
About Chatbot
Chatbots were initially developed in the 1960s, with one of the first being ELIZA, created by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT. They evolved from simple rule-based systems to more complex AI-driven models. The primary aim was to simulate human conversation and assist with tasks such as customer service and information retrieval.
Chatbots have strengths in providing 24/7 customer support, handling repetitive tasks efficiently, and offering quick responses. Weaknesses include limited understanding of complex queries, potential lack of personalization, and difficulty in handling nuanced conversations. Competitors include live human agents, automated phone systems, and virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa.
