Overview

Presenting the groundbreaking Conversation AI from our CRM. Harness the power of our AI-driven automation to enhance your customer engagements. The Conversation AI is a sophisticated feature that uses AI technologies to improve customer communication and automate the scheduling of appointments. It primarily operates in two modes;


Suggestive Mode

In this particular mode, the AI creates predictive text suggestions in real-time to aid users in answering customer messages. These suggestions pop up as an option, giving users the flexibility to either transmit the AI-proposed message as it is, modify it prior to sending, or reject the suggestion and compose the message manually.


Auto-Pilot Mode

This mode employs cutting-edge AI to provide automated responses to incoming messages, effectively guiding customers toward scheduling appointments. If a message comes in, the system strategically waits for 2 minutes before engaging the GPT API, allowing for the possibility of receiving multiple messages.



Conversation AI Settings

Before you begin utilizing these features, ensure they are activated in a sub-account. Once done, navigate to the 'Conversation AI' located under the 'Settings' tab.


Preferences

Within the "Preferences" segment for Conversation AI, you are presented with three unique modes to select from:
Off


This feature completely switches off the Conversation AI. While you can still modify settings and particulars, the AI will cease to engage with your customers.


Suggestive

In this mode, Conversation AI serves as a helpful tool within the chat interface by offering potential responses to customer queries. You have the option to send these suggestions as they are, make changes before dispatching them, or bypass the suggestions altogether.


Auto-Reply

This mode empowers Conversation AI to autonomously dispatch messages to your customers, enhancing customer engagement and boosting response speed. It functions independently, facilitating effortless communication without the need for manual oversight.
Note:
Be aware that the Auto-Pilot Mode is presently under a private beta stage, and a chosen set of users have been selected for trial runs and providing feedback.
