The NativeChat Difference

Other Bots

Predefined Question and Answer Paths

Ordinary chatbots use complex decision trees for each conversation. That’s time consuming and error prone because human interaction is so complex. Ultimately, the chatbot functions as no more than an answering machine forcing users into a predefined path.

Behave like
an Answering Machine

Users have to follow a predefined path.

  • Hello.
  • Hello there, I am the virtual assistant of
    ACME bank.
  • I need to make a money transfer.
  • What is your account number?
  • My savings account
  • Sorry, I don't understand.
  • What is your account number?
  • Forget about it.

NativeChat

Automatic Goal-Directed Flow

Progress NativeChat’s innovative technology allows developers to define the chatbot’s goals and the steps it takes to achieve those goals, automatically generating the conversation flow for the end user. The result is a cognitive bot that learns from context and can be created on top of existing systems.

Converse in
a Natural Way

The bot is flexible and learns from context.

  • Hello.
  • Hi, Dave.
  • I need to make a money transfer.
  • Sure! Same as the last one - to Mary
    for $1,000?
  • Yes, but make it $1,200
  • Ok. Sending $1,200 to Mary from your Savings
    account (xxxx-5642).

Challenge

Delivering a superior conversational experience with text-only messages or the simple UI offered by channel vendors is a daunting task.

  • Quick Replies
  • Date Pickers
  • Time Pickers
  • Rich Selections
  • Login Forms
Channels
Challenge

Solution

NativeChat supports building your own private and secure channels in Web, iOS and Android using a set of SDKs and ready to use components.

  • Facebook
  • Viber
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Websites

Training

Natural Language Understanding
Challenge

  • Traits by Wit.ai
  • Dynamic Training
  • Static Training
  • Keywords

Logic

Conversational Intelligence
Challenge

Designing an intelligent conversation flow requires costly development of decision trees, state workflows or slot-based algorithms using functional languages such as .NET or Java.

Solution

NativeChat empowers developers to use declarative programming where they describe what data they want to extract from a conversation rather than how. The actual conversation flow is controlled by NativeChat’s cognitive algorithms that produce natural conversations with users.

Conversations

  • Goal Conversations
  • Support Conversations
  • Small Talks

Reactions

  • Validations
  • Ambiguity
  • Acknowledgements
  • Confirmations

Past Behaviors

  • Value Suggestions
  • Conversation Predistions

Memory
Challenge

Having a natural-sounding conversation, requires the bot to know and remember a lot of data about the users and their conversations.

Solution

NativeChat platform securely stores each interaction with a user in its short- and long-term memory. Then it can be used to suggest values in subsequent conversations or even skip some steps.

  • Long-term memory
  • Conversation History
  • Short-term memory
Third Party Integrations
Challenge

Most interaction with a bot rely on data and business logic already existing in other systems.

Solution

NativeChat provides flexible REST API integration and samples on how to connect to your existing software infrastructure to deliver personalized user experiences.

  • CRM
  • Web Apps
  • Mobile Apps

Analytics
