Create chat bots yourself
Microsoft Power Virtual Agents
Answer and process inquiries from customers and employees automatically and quickly with chat bots
Do your employees always have to answer the same questions? Would you also like to answer customer inquiries outside of office hours? Are you looking for a way to make your knowledge available in a service-oriented manner? Then it's time to think about using chat bots.
A chat bot can take care of simple inquiries around the clock, relieving the workload on company employees and giving them time to deal with more complex concerns.
With Power Virtual Agents you can easily create your own chatbots. Thanks to the low-code principle, no programming knowledge is required for this either. The self-created bots can, for example, act as virtual customer advisors to answer routine questions, but also to intercept peak requests.
For external communication with customers and interested parties, chatbots can be integrated into the company website, among other things, to answer frequently asked questions. But they can also be useful internally, for example when employees want to know who the right contact person is for a specific issue.

Microsoft Virtual Agents provides you with a variety of evaluation options. In this way, you will find out which questions your customers and employees frequently ask, which topics chat bots can work on independently and where you may need to add to the chat bots.
With Microsoft Power Virtual Agents, you can access numerous data sources. For example, the chat bot can access the order history from the ERP system and suggest appropriate assistance.
A practical example: A customer writes in the chat "I have a problem with my printer". The chat bot asks for the email address and thus identifies the customer. The bot lists the printers purchased by the customer and asks which model is affected. The customer makes a selection and the bot can then go through the matching entries from the helpdesk step by step with the customer.
