Chatbot can make customers feel comfortable with friendly and professional communication. In a natural and no-pressure conversation, customers are more open to product suggestions.

For example, Pika chatbot of FPT Shop understands the intent of customers and gives accurate answers. Pika chatbot is built on FPT.AI Artificial Intelligence Platform with the best Vietnamese Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology in the market. After 2 years, Pika chatbot is becoming smarter, and its responses are more natural and glib. It becomes a powerful assistant of FPT Shop, which consults on products for customers on Facebook and navigates them to purchase on the website.

Chatbot helps to boost revenue and increase conversion rate

On livechat of e-commerce websites, customers can give their questions, and chatbot will answer them or provide some suggestions, support users to find specific pages that suit their requirements. 

Initially, chatbot provides information about products/services on Facebook Messenger. Then it can give customers the link to websites for a more detailed and complete understanding of products. Customers can place their orders with chatbot or on websites after considering carefully.

After users interact with chatbot, chatbot immediately has access to their Facebook profiles. Businesses can take advantage of this data to improve Facebook ads targeting, or change target customers. During the communication with customers, chatbot also can collect data on their characteristics based on their questions. Over time, chatbot will understand more about users, give more accurate suggestions, thereby helping customers make decisions faster and increase the conversion rate.
