About eGain Virtual Assistant
A airtual assistant is a lifelike, conversational chatbot providing a unique, interactive, and personal way for users to get answers and assistance on your website, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A customer simply chats with the virtual assistant (also called VA, virtual agent, or chatbot), like they would with any human agent. The chat bot not only understands the words but also the intent, thanks to a portfolio of AI technologies that include machine learning and reasoning. eGain’s chatbot provides the frontline support so your customer service staff can concentrate on more complex tasks. The VA acts like a guide, helping customers navigate the website and taking them to the relevant place. The virtual assistant provides answers to any queries, even helping in shopping decisions. At any point, and if the need arises, it can seamlessly escalate to agent-assisted channels like chat.
