Although chatbots have become quite popular in recent years, there is still room for improvement. A well-trained chatbot must correctly react to any query sent by a user creating a successful human-like conversation. Is that happening? We don’t think so.

Round-the-clock service, cost reduction and delivering a better customer experience are, among others, the main benefits of chatbots for customer service automation. If you are thinking of setting up a conversational agent to take care of your customers, it’s all-important for you to know not only the bright side, but also the dark one. You just can't spin up a basic chatbot and expect it to work well.

Two concepts, one mission: to make machines understand humans. Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) are all the rage right now, but people tend to mix them up. In this post, there will be a distinction between these two different but complementary terms in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

On 24 and 25 April 2019, at the old Customs House in Hamburg, Bitext was one of 54 companies backed by the European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot that had the opportunity to pitch and present their business cases and to engage in one-on-one business meetings with representatives from some of the leading Corporates in Europe.

Users speak the way they choose, not as you wish. Developers are building tens of bots and almost all of them bump into the same problem: they are not properly working. Most of the bots don’t understand users and the problem lies in their training. That’s the simple truth every bot developer must face sooner or later. The question is: are they facing it the right way?
