About the Workshop:
Service industries are continuously challenged by unexpected events. Information and communication technologies (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used as an important recovery strategy for service businesses. Research shows that businesses will save $11.5 billion by 2023 if they use chatbots instead of traditional customer service center. Given that the number of users communicating and interacting through social media and apps has been increasing in the recent years, deploying chatbots in messaging environments is a strategy for businesses to connect with customers. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to chatbots in general and their architecture, how to use them for business purposes, and all the design criteria to consider when developing a chatbot based on the nature of the business.
