“Helpful 24/7 responses”

Pros

It delivers quick answers to questions around the clock, using the responses we set up ahead of time.

Cons

This tool really depends on how well you build it out. If you do not load in enough answers, users will not get much value from it. There is also an upfront investment of time and knowledge required before it becomes truly useful for the end user.

“Helps us support students better”

Pros

Adding the chatbot to our website has helped us support students and parents much better while also reducing the number of emails coming into our front-line team. It's especially satisfying to review the transcripts and see the bot giving accurate answers even when our office is closed.

Cons

The live chat feature hasn't worked out as well for us. It's been challenging to keep conversations open and juggle other tasks at the same time, the way you typically can during a phone call.
