5 Easy Tips To Master Conversations with AI Chatbots

Are you fed up feeling like you’re talking to a wall when dealing with chatbots? You’re not alone. Gartner expects chatbots to handle around 85% of customer service interactions by 2028 – so mastering communicating with an AI is a necessity and should be optimized quickly. But here’s the catch: one of the biggest posed challenges currently is the lack of understanding between a chatbot and user intent. So, how can you overcome the impediment of artificial intelligence challenges to obtain the responses you want? Here, we’ll explore five easy tips that will revolutionize and simplify your AI chatbot conversation roadblocks, turning them from frustrating to excellent.

1. Be Explicit and Detailed: Paint a Clear Picture

Tip: Specificity is your shipmate when it comes to chatbots.

Instead of: “What’s our sales pipeline look like?”

Try: “Can you provide a breakdown of our Q2 sales pipeline by stage, focusing on deals over $50,000?”

Why It Works: Specific queries act like a navigation system for chatbots, guiding them directly to the information you want. This precision reduces chatbot confusion and quickly helps you get accurate, pertinent responses, allowing you to get what you want more easily.

2. Use Clear and Simple Language: Keep It Plain

Tip: Get rid of the jargon and keep it simple.

Instead of: “What’s the scoop on our customer churn rate?”

Try: “What is our present monthly customer churn rate, and how does it compare to the industry standard for B2B SaaS businesses?”

Why It Works: Plain language with specific elements helps chatbots understand your query more accurately, leading to precise and helpful responses. Clarity and plainness of language can improve your chatbot comprehension and rapport.

3. Limit to One Question at a Time: Go One Step at a Time

Tip: Try to avoid swamping the bot with too many queries at once.

Instead of: “Can you explain our new product features, pricing structure, target market, and make a chart?”

Try: “What are the key features of our new product update?” (After receiving the answer) “How does our pricing structure for this new product compare to our competitors?”

Why It Works: By focusing on one question at a time, you ensure that the chatbot can provide a comprehensive answer without getting its wires crossed. This approach has the practical benefits of allowing you and the chatbot to go deeper into each answer and provide higher-quality information and critical thinking.

4. Provide Context When Necessary: Set the Scene

Tip: Give the chatbot the background it needs to understand your query.

Instead of: “How’s our customer satisfaction?”

Try: “Can you provide our latest NPS score and compare it to last quarter’s results, considering the recent changes we made to our onboarding process?”

Why It Works: Providing context helps the chatbot craft its responses to your needs, resulting in more relevant and actionable information. When you provide context in your chatbot queries, you’ll likely see better responses and more successful results that will further your understanding and the chatbot’s knowledge of your user intention.

5. Clarify and Correct When Needed: Don’t Be Shy—Speak Up!

Tip: If you receive incorrect or outdated data, ask for clarification and pinpoint what seems wrong.

Example: If the bot gives you an outdated sales figure, say, “The Q2 revenue numbers you provided seem outdated. Can you confirm you’re using the most recent data from our Salesforce CRM?”

Why It Works: Modifications act like course adjustments, helping the chatbot fine-tune its understanding and leading to better answers both now and in future interactions. They give the chatbot a sense of time and knowledge and allow it to review its data processing. By regularly providing feedback to AI chatbots, you’ll see an increase in precision over time.
