    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.

    Most suited: Frequent duties can be automated. services can be improved by analyzing customer feedback. Load and Heavy tasks can be reduced. Less workforce is required. Less Suited: Specific product queries and their proper answers. When the user uses those words that are misspelled or have a long sentence it finds difficulty in giving them proper information.

    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.

    Since I deployed this solution end to end for my organisation, I would speak from my experience that since I was a newbie to this platform I took ample support from their team, their training resources. However, the product's UI/UX was simply very intuitive that it helped me to get a lot of hand-on practice on the product well. This helped me with the timely deployment of this solution.

    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.

    ChatBot is more stable and enhanced as compared to other rivals which are new in this segment and also provides a lot of details which is missing in other products like report etc. Also, chatBot is more commonly used so support wise it is also great and you can find multiple examples on the internet and from your peers as well.

    • 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.
