What Are Chatbots?

Brains behind your AI Agent

Chatbots are software applications that use artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) to simulate human-like conversations. They can be integrated into websites, apps, social media platforms, or customer support portals to assist customers in real time.

There are two main types:

  • Rule-based chatbots: Follow scripted decision trees and are great for answering common questions.

  • AI-powered chatbots: Learn from interactions, adapt over time, and handle more complex queries.
