Bots are taking over the internet with Facebook, Microsoft (Skype) and Google investing heavily in them. More and more chat applications like Slack, WeChat, and Telegram are releasing Bot APIs to allow more customers to interact with Bots to get things done. For example, WeChat allows people to send money, book a taxi and even buy insurance in China. With Bots, messaging apps becoming more than just human to human interaction.
It is interesting to explore how bots can help in customer service, as Techcrunch pointed out “Bots, Messenger and the future of customer service“. Chat is often faster and simpler than making a phone call. To explore this we at CloudGo have built ServiceNow integration with Slack, WeChat, Telegraph to make “ServiceNow as a Bot”.
Slack
