What is conversational AI?

Conversational AI is technology that lets people interact with software in natural language, by typing or speaking, and get relevant replies, combining language understanding, a knowledge source and a way to respond.

Conversational AI, explained

It covers chatbots, voice assistants and AI agents. Modern conversational AI is built on large language models, which handle varied wording and many languages.

Businesses use it for customer support, sales questions, bookings and internal help desks, wherever many people ask similar questions.

What separates useful conversational AI from frustrating bots is grounding in real information, the ability to act, and a clear path to a human.
