bluecap AI Meeting Assistant vs. Conversica vs. Oracle Digital Assistant

In my experience, Bluecap can handle pretty much all meeting scenarios, including business and personal. It is good for in-person, face-to-face interactions, and also virtual sessions. It is accurate and efficient and he’s improving all the time. It would be hard to use bluecap whilst traveling in a car, as the technology on mobiles is not as sophisticated as it would be on a desktop or laptop in my opinion. however, this is a good piece of kit and technology, so I expect the technicians at Bluecap to smooth out any kinks moving forward.

Conversica is an excellent tool if you have a large database of potential students, sales leads, or other forms of potential customers/users. It does not replace human interaction, but instead supplements it - allowing your admissions/sales/retention team to spend their time with those individuals that are in most need of assistance - whether that be because they are "hot leads" for a sale, students with a sincere interest, or customers needing assistance beyond the capabilities of an automatic system.

As mentioned in pros and cons, it depends on the use cases. Most of the normal chatbot use cases can be handled by ODA. If you want to build a chatbot with menu style or conversation style (it is not straight forward but it can be done), ODA can be perfect. If use cases are to also include AI with emotional intelligence to make conversational more interactive and also be able to detect through AI engine automatically what a person would like to do or perform or ask, then ODA may not fit for it. If you also are looking for virtual agents through tighter IVR integration then ODA may not be right. There are a few limitations around the number of words in the text to voice feature.

• Automatically creates excellent transcripts
• Provide a meeting summary
• Detail action steps

• Conversica is great at working low level leads and surfacing those that are in fact interested in your product or service.
• Conversica is also useful in weeding out leads that are not strong.
• Since Conversica is sending emails to various prospects, customers and opportunities, it allows sales, account managers, service etc, to focus on other activities, thereby saving time and freeing up resources.

• Oracle AI processes natural language well and the conversations pick a good flow.
• It recognizes pattern of behavior for more refined results with each implementation under machine learning.

Incentivized

• It could be easier to use.
• The training could be more extensive.
• It would be good to have more communication with the team at Bluecap.

Incentivized

• The method of standing up campaigns can be a little tedious for administrators because it uses copy/paste of Salesforce Campaign ID instead of just searching for active Salesforce campaigns.
• Understanding the conversation path options that the AI could take is improving greatly, but can still use some improvements for admin awareness when standing up a new conversation.
• Understanding what conversation types exist and how they differ from one another is sometimes difficult to self-serv, but the Conversica team is always very good about helping out explaining these.

Incentivized

• Our clients have reported that upon integration with Siri for voice commands, the results are pretty obvious (basic) Nd the conversation is unnatural.
• The languages it supports are very limited.

Tool is extremely powerful but comes with a heavy price tag. As long as we close more than 30 deals with year with Conversica's assistance it will be an easy choice to renew. If we don't we will have to figure out if these funds are best spent in other lead generation places.

Standalone, it's very easy to use. It becomes a little more complicated when you're working with it as an integration in Salesforce.

Our account manager and support rep have been extremely helpful in helping us get the system where we wanted it. Given our original use case as a lead qualifier, a lot of the conversations needed to be altered or exceptions created in order to provide the customization we needed. Our AM and support rep were able to accommodate most of our requests and were extremely helpful in working with us on a solution.

The implementation went smoothly. The only advice I would give for anybody looking to integrate Conversica with Salesforce is to ensure that either you or somebody within your organization has experience with process builder as you'll need to create some processes to force your leads into Salesforce campaigns for the Conversica system to pick them up.

Frankly, there was no comparison. Bluecap AI Meeting Assistant does things that we have not seen before. It has opened a whole new world for us and provided us with more ammunition to "trust the data".

I haven't looked into many other conversational ai products - we received a solid recommendation about using this and have been happy with the process and experience. Price was also pretty good, so we didn't feel a need to shop around on that front. If things change I'll do that homework, but we're happy for now

I selected Oracle Digital Assistant against all other digital assistant platforms as this platform works like a charm with any Oracle application. It integrates well with Oracle Integration Cloud. The new beta version has an inbuilt conversation builder which can be used to build conversation without the YAML code.

• Definitely makes us more efficient.
• Increased ROI.
• Helped us retain clients.

Incentivized

• We have found that each conversation type has a different ROI. Some are very hard to report off of, whereas others are easy. this is because some are more built around building awareness of what we offer where they may not purchase it for months down the line.
• Has helped us to save on salaries. If staff were to try to do the same thing our AI Assistant does, it would take them many hours to be as successful.

Incentivized

• We've had a good integration with our existing databases and applications.
• Our customers are crypto traders and we've had more engagement with them, which means a lot to us.
