COMPUTER SAYS NO: The trouble with chatbots and how to use them better

Post by Shafia1030 »

Hands up if you’ve ever cursed, mocked or yelled at a chatbot. No surprise if you have.
Those automated “helpers” – supposedly designed to make customer service smarter, faster and more efficient – can certainly be a source of frustration for sentient beings.

Interactions with chatbots have become increasingly common in our daily lives

But when asking for information or trying to solve a problem, we’re often annoyed when the chatbot either can’t understand or misinterprets our inquiry.

Even worse is when it advises us to contact mali cell phone database the call centre or visit a web page, which defeats the purpose of using chatbots in the first place.

There are two main reasons for negative user experiences. First, organisations often present the chatbot as too “human”, leading to unrealistic expectations about the chatbot’s ability to understand human language, including nuanced questions and commands.

Second, many chatbots are rule-based and have a narrow knowledge base, which means grammatical and syntactical errors can throw them off and complex questions often can’t be answered, disappointing customers.

Open banking in Australia is the first train to leave the station under the Consumer Data Right (CDR).

This past year has been critical in laying the tracks. We have 72 banks registered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) with the status of Data Holder, so they can now supply data. This covers 95% of customers in the banking market and in 2022 we should see the remaining banks catch up.

On the demand side, out of 26 unrestricted Accredited Data Recipients

11 have “active” status. In 2022, we should see a range of functioning CDR based apps, using the CDR rails.

This means that more and more consumers can start using their data right to see the promised benefits of choice, convenience and confidence, saving time, money and hassle when satisfying their banking needs.

Looking ahead into 2022 and beyond, here’s what we know will happen, what we’d like to see, and where we can go next.
