AI Chatbot for Customer Service, Grounded in Answers Customers Can Trust
Customers expect fast, accurate and consistent answers. But most AI chatbots generate responses from generic training data with no awareness of your brand, policies or data sensitivity. The Progress® Data Platform enables chatbots grounded in your enterprise knowledge, with governance, citations and role-aware access controls built in.
What Matters
Higher Customer Satisfaction
Deliver accurate, consistent answers on every interaction, grounded in your approved content
Greater Self-Service Deflection
Resolve complex inquiries without human intervention when the AI can cite its sources with confidence
Lower Cost to Serve
Experience fewer escalations, faster resolution times and consistent quality across every channel
Built-In Compliance and Governance
Respects data sensitivity and role-based access, with full audit trails for every response
The challengeWhy Customer-Facing AI Falls Short
Most organizations have invested in chatbot tools, knowledge bases and CRM platforms. Yet the experience customers receive is still inconsistent, slow and often wrong. The technology stack is not the issue; the data behind it is.
Generic AI chatbots generate fluent responses but without grounding in your policies, products or customer context. They risk surfacing incorrect, outdated or restricted information, eroding trust and creating compliance exposure.
For customer-facing interactions, unreliable AI is not just a bad experience, it is a brand and regulatory risk.
The solutionHow Governed AI Answers with Authority
The Progress Data Platform provides a governed data foundation that enables chatbots to retrieve, reason and respond using your enterprise knowledge. Responses are grounded in approved sources, with access controls and policy enforcement applied at every step.
Role-aware permissions enable customers, agents and administrators to each see only what they should. When the AI reaches the limits of its confidence, conversations are routed to human agents with full context.
The Result
Brand-safe, compliant customer interactions you can scale with confidence.
