    From personal experience, I can recommend the Azure AI service to reduce the burden on your customer service team, as we did. We created a customer service bot and automated our Frequently Asked Questions section, as well as an interactive platform for registering other complaints that the bot cannot handle, which are later addressed by our customer service team.

    Piper the AI SDR is perfect for a global marketing team who wants to have greater control over conversations that are happening on the website. She does an excellent job of qualifying leads and getting meetings booked. In addition she does an excellent job routing people to support and away from sales if that is not an area they are interested. There aren't many areas we have found Piper to be not appropriate. As we continue to hone in and improve her capabilities.

    • Piper the AI SDR can get tripped up when someone asks a question we weren't prepared for. Example Does the webinar cost money? Of course not but we didn't specifically put anywhere that it doesn't, and she can get confused
    • Piper the AI SDR can sometimes get overzealous and try do things she isn't able to like help someone download an ebook
    • There are some trigger limitations for email but we are aware it is on the features roadmap

    Azure AI Bot Service comes with an Integrated Development Environment and Bot Framework SDK that simplifies development. Having a single codebase for multiple channels, such as MS Teams, Facebook, and Slack, makes it easier to target multiple platforms without requiring redevelopment. LUIS and OpenAI can be easily integrated with your Chatbot to provide a seammless chat bot expereince to customers.

    The Qualified tool itself if superb. It comes with so many features, not just the AI SDR - Sani, in our case, but additional features and benefits which I've started to take full advantage of. It's allowed us to drive engagement across the website within just days, and has already begun to see leads converted to open, and in some cases, won opportunities in under two weeks. Our AI SDR - Sani, has opened so many doors for the business. We've learned so much from our customers, website structure and content that resonates with prospects.

    Microsoft's customer service staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They are always available to assist you with bot framework-related issues that you may be experiencing. They provide training sessions, manuals, and support personnel, among other things. Bugs were easily spotted and patched, which was one of my pet peeves about patching.

    Microsoft Bot Framework is much better and well more established without a lot of proprietary software/coding language. Lex is very limited with integration with standard hardware and network configurations. Lex has performance issues and was too slow to meet near real-time collaboration requirements. Bot Framework complements many other Microsoft communication products and this was key to implementing without a lot of new training required.

    We chose Qualified over their competitors because of our interactions with their team and the product. Their team made it feel like this was a partnership and that we weren't just some other customer. Implementation was fast and the tool is very user-friendly. Their customer support is next level and we really appreciate that. All in all, we love their implementation time and great service

    • Azure Bot will only deliver according to the granularity of the FAQ it is feed. Otherwise, it has been a cost optimization tool for our organization.
