SUPPORTBENCH CHAT We wanted to move onto our own in-house chat for awhile now and that time has finally come. Our new chat is going to include everything our last chat did, but more. This is because you'll have the option to add AI capability to it. If you add AI, this dynamic feature can also engage users in real-time conversations about articles and resolved cases, offering immediate answers and insights through natural language interactions. Seamlessly integrated, the Chat Bot empowers customers to swiftly find solutions, enhancing self-service capabilities and reducing support ticket volume. By adding AI, our goal was to revolutionize engagement and streamline query resolutions like never before. And its pretty easy to set up too... Just head over to Configuration > Self-service > Chat-widget > New widget > Installation and the instructions and everything you need to set up your own chat is right inside your instance (Note, that you will have basic chat capabilities unless you opt for the AI add-on.) Of course, if you need any help, reach out to our Support team and we'll guide you through it :)
