If you're considering WhatsApp for your business, you're in sync with your customers' preference but you might be wondering:

A WhatsApp chatbot is software that responds to messages on WhatsApp using written language. It can be rule-based or NLP-based, offering structured or human-like conversations. These WhatsApp bots work 24/7, handling multiple conversations at once, providing instant info about services.

Operating around the clock, WhatsApp bots can handle multiple conversations concurrently. They serve to provide instant responses, offering information about a company's offerings or services.

What’s the difference between scripted and AI chatbots?

open vertical icon

A scripted chatbot follows a script. If a human asks a question, the bot tracks the script of predefined answers to give the correct answer. An AI chatbot uses Conversational AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to provide the best possible solution. AI chatbots are more intelligent and can handle more complex conversations.
