Bringing Bots To Life With Artificial Intelligence
Any video gamer knows how boring NPCs (non-playable characters) in digital worlds are. Their behavior is simple and predictable and their words entirely scripted by a staff of writers. This makes them uninteresting opponents and unsatisfying companions. We’re far more likely to emotionally attach to lifelike characters, like the emo robot sidekicks in the Star Wars … [Read more...] about Bringing Bots To Life With Artificial Intelligence
5 Metrics Every Chatbot Should Track
40% of a typical bots’ users only engage in one conversation. This statistic, calculated by Ilker Koksal, co-founder of Botanalytics, suggests bot makers need to invest more effort to measure bot metrics and performance and deliver value to users. Traditional metrics like DAU / MAU and analytics tools like Google Analytics or Mixpanel work well for websites and mobile apps, … [Read more...] about 5 Metrics Every Chatbot Should Track
