That’s right! Conversational AI chatbots drive success. They increase conversions, save time, and increase customer satisfaction. The following examples of AI chatbots show how companies are implementing conversational bots successfully, and how the technology has helped them grow their business. Dive in and get inspired!  

What is a conversational AI chatbot?

Simply put, a conversational AI chatbot is a bot that uses artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing, machine learning, and conversational design to engage in more natural and complex conversations with humans.  

Unlike basic button bots, conversational AI chatbots are smart virtual assistants that enable automated conversations and can engage in very human-like conversations via text or voice.  

For instance, conversational AI bots can:  

  • take food orders in a restaurant
  • answer frequently asked questions 24/7 
  • take over onboarding processes for clients
  • guide customers through an online payment process
  • find out what customers want, before guiding them to the right department
  • talk to customers on virtually any channel, from your website to WhatsApp to SMS
  • speak hundreds of languages out of the box 

And these are just a few examples!

While conversational AI bots cannot replace humans, they can help human agents by taking over tedious and repetitive tasks, organizing information, and helping customers instantly.  

How does this look in practice? And what are the concrete benefits companies get from implementing bots? Let’s learn directly from companies that are already using conversational AI chatbots successfully

Bizbike: Making customers happy

Bizbike is Belgium’s biggest e-bike provider. As a hugely popular e-bike company, they were faced with a high number of daily queries from customers who wanted to use their service. The problem: Bizbike’s customer service team ended up answering the same basic questions over and over again and didn’t have time to deal with more complex customer issues.  

So, Bizbike was looking for a way to help their service team, while at the same time answering customer questions quickly and satisfactorily. That’s when Bizbike decided to implement Chatlayer’s conversational AI chatbot.

Chatlayer’s bots work with easy-to-use templates that are ready to go within minutes. At the same time, businesses can adapt these templates to fit their individual needs. 

For Bizbike, the solution was highly successful. Bizbike was able to save more than 40 hours per months through effective automation, and at the same time have engaging conversations with their customers. Bizbike was able to increase their NPS score from 54 to 56, which means that 62 percent of their customers are actively promoting conversational chatbot solutions and the Bizbike service!   

European Commission: Helping thousands of travelers

Discover EU is an initiative led by the European Commission that helps 18-year-old EU citizens discover Europe by train. As many of these young Europeans are first-time travelers, they naturally find themselves in many situations where they require help on their trips. 

After launching the initiative, frequent questions, such as: “What do I do if I missed my train?” or “Where does my train leave from?” ultimately were becoming challenging to handle by the staff of support agents during traditional office hours and across different time zones.  

As a solution, an AI chatbot was developed in order to answer the travelers’ most common questions, which ended up helping thousands of young European explorers on their journeys.

In the first month, the chatbot solved more than 700 questions, and handed over approximately 150 questions to a live support agent.

Yellow Class is an online education platform in India that offers live and engaging hobby classes for children. Their popular classes attract many new customers who want to learn more about the service. Because of the high number of queries, Yellow Class started to look for an automated solution to handle these questions.  

Together with Sinch Chatlayer, they developed a WhatsApp bot with various reply buttons to help answer the most frequently asked questions faster. More complicated requests were transferred to human agents.

iFood: Conversational chatbots help with onboarding of new staff

iFood is an online food ordering and delivery platform based in Brazil. It dominates about 80 percent of the Brazilian online food delivery market, and has only gotten more popular since the pandemic.  

With growing demand and an increasing number of deliveries, the drivers’ customer service at iFood started facing new challenges. They were receiving more calls from drivers who needed assistance during their deliveries. Trying to help the drivers in a timely manner became more difficult, more time-consuming, more expensive, and came at the cost of driver satisfaction. 

In order to not only improve the customer service for their drivers, iFood implemented Chatlayer’s conversational AI chatbot on most relevant messaging apps, such as WhatsApp and the website. Here, the chatbot helped register new drivers and help with the onboarding of new delivery staff.

Foyer: Handling requests in over 100 languages

Foyer is a world-leading insurance and wealth management company. With many requests coming in 24/7 in different languages, Foyer needed an automated solution to both, help their customers and relieve their employees from constantly answering the same questions.   

With Chatlayer’s conversational AI bot, Foyer was able to answer 80% of incoming customer requests successfully, in 125 different languages.  

Thanks to the growing reputation of Sinch Chatlayer in linguistic design, in-depth knowledge of language issues specific to the Benelux markets, and specialized development in conversational AI technology, the partnership was a match made in chatbot heaven.

Belfius: Managing over 2,000 claims per month

The Belgian insurance bank Belfius is handling thousands of insurance claims—daily! As Belfius wanted to be able to handle these claims more efficiently, and reduce the workload for their employees, they implemented Chatlayer’s AI bot.  

Belfius' customers just tell the bot what happened, and the bot is then able to categorize what type of claim each case is about, before handing it over to the human agent best qualified to deal with it. With the insurance bot, Belfius can now manage more than 2,000 claims per month. This is the equivalent of five full-time agents taking the requests.  

The AI chatbot drove success by saving time and increasing the conversion rate by 87 percent, compared to the old claim forms.

Rawbank: AI chatbot succes with over 50 different use cases

Rawbank is a 2.1 billion revenue bank in the Democratic Republic of Congo. With their large number of clients, the bank’s support team was handling thousands of messages per month. The problem: it wasn’t easy for Rawbank to just set up a chatbot to handle FAQs, as their customers’ queries are very diverse, and regular chatbots would have had a hard time understanding the customers’ real intents.  

Therefore, Rawbank worked with Sinch Chatlayer to develop a customized chatbot. The conversational AI chatbot can identify intents in over 50 use cases, and thus, handle 4,000 of requests per month—a huge success!  

Proximus: Help employees focus on what really matters

The HR department of the Belgian telecommunication company Proximus was dealing with roughly 9,000 queries per year, which kept the agents busy, but also prevented them from dealing with what really mattered: preparing their workforce for future challenges.  

As a solution, Proximus implemented three conversational AI chatbots for customer service, sales and HR that were able to answer FAQs.

Salud Digna: Helping millions of people during the Covid-19 pandemic

Salud Digna is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to providing affordable health services across Mexico.  

During the Covid-19 health crisis, the organization’s call centers were overwhelmed by trying to help millions of people get access to affordable lab service and testing. Salud Digna was looking for a solution that could reduce the number of incoming calls for their agents, while still enabling people to get access to critical medical services as quickly as possible.  

The organization decided to launch a conversational AI bot on their WhatsApp channel—with amazing results.  

Not only did the number of calls go back by 50%, but customers were also able to get help faster and ended up feeling less frustrated and more supported

The WhatsApp virtual assistant enables us to quickly address common questions that previously would have resulted in an in-person patient visit.
