With Botpress You Can
Automate Workflows: This is a real customer story; you can automate the workflow of applying for a Mortgage by gathering the information you need from potential customers through a chat on your website.
Support your customer 24/7: If someone is not behind your Facebook Messenger, your customer is most likely not gonna get the answer they need and he might go to a different business. A chatbot can answer your customer’s questions even when you are asleep.
Allow employees to self-serve: The classic example is resetting a password. Some people are required to ask a system administrator or an IT person to reset their password when they get logged out of their email. The truth is they could just ask in Slack for a password reset and it could take care of itself.
Create a conversational interface for an application: Some applications are better delivered with a GUI, but in other cases, a conversational interface is simply a better option. It’s just really natural for someone to ask in plain English rather than browsing an interface. ‘’Hey, I am looking for a training plan for my next marathon’’
