Customer service can make or break businesses, from coffee shops to software companies. No matter the industry, customers expect quick responses and seamless service. This is where chatbots come into the picture.

When it comes to Intercom there’s a wide range of chatbots to choose from. They can handle repetitive tasks like answering FAQs and even resolving certain tickets. At their core, they all aim to reduce workloads, improve response times, and enhance customer satisfaction and experience.

Having said this, eesel AI takes this to the next step. eesel AI enhances your chatbot’s performance, essentially making it smarter, faster, and makes the lives of your customer support easier.

Why choose eesel AI for your Intercom chatbot?

Aside from the fact that eesel has more integrations, is often cheaper (by a longshot), and overall is a more complete tool, it just works.

While Intercom already offer some excellent automation tools, eesel AI adds irreplaceable functionality to your support system.

One of the main benefits is being able to train your chatbot on a broad range of data. This includes past tickets, knowledge base articles, and documents from many other applications, like Confluence or Google Docs.

Feeding your chatbot with a large pool of data allows it to easily answer a wide range of customer inquiries. This in turn allows your customers access to faster and more accurate answers.

Another key feature of eesel AI is its zero hallucination technology. That means your chatbot only provides accurate and verified responses based on the information you provide it. It goes a long way when building customer trust, as eesel will ensure that they only get verified information.

Whether you’re bolstering an already experienced customer service team or training up a fresh batch of hires, eesel AI’s chatbot integration will allow any customer service department to provide faster and more accurate answers to your customers.
