What is IBM watsonx Assistant?

IBM watsonx Assistant is a conversational AI solution designed to build AI assistants that scale across a business, while providing customers and employees with fast, consistent and accurate answers across any messaging platform, application, device or channel. Using generative AI and natural language understanding, Assistant learns from customer conversations, improving its ability to resolve issues the first time while removing the frustration of long wait times, tedious searches and unhelpful chatbots.

Most chatbots try to mimic human interactions, frustrating customers when a misunderstanding arises. IBM watsonx Assistant gives users tools to build AI-assistants designed to know when to search for an answer from a knowledge base, when to ask for clarity and when to direct users to a human agent for more assistance. And it can be deployed in any cloud or on-premises environment, offering integrations to a business's existing tools.

I think the IBM watsonx Assistant has increased our platform's usability, customer engagement and my own time management. As I can now easily create my own chatbot without any programming experience and deploy it in our website. And to be true it works better if you have some kind of programming experience but if you don't, you can still use it but with some limitation. Also it can automatically detect frequently asked questions by our customers, in almost every language and automatically reply to that question when asked the next time.
  • Supports multiple language and can quickly recognize frequently asked questions.
  • Is very efficient and uses very less memory.
  • Supports multiple platforms so we can reach more customers easily.
  • Need to rename downloaded files as they are often not intuitive enough.
  • Exporting multiple chats is time consuming.
If your customers are around the world and you want to provide them with a better customer service, IBM watsonx Assistant maybe for you as not only can you quickly build a chatbot by yourself, it also supports multiple languages and can detect frequently asked questions to answer them later by itself.

I personally have used this service for onboarding operations of community Campus Ambassadors. Since I work for education sector (Internet) I had to manually onboard students for marketing/campus connect campaigns and often had to strike the first conversation myself (so much to do on prospecting part) due to this I used to miss out on large number of students who were interested while texting or following up with others who at last point of conversation used to turn down the offer. After using this service I created a simple chatbot which is free and my requirement was also below 10,000 messages per month so I used the free plan. The chatbot used to filter our the leads for me after they were prompted with certain set of intents and dialogues that I put up myself according to my requirement and then I used to make a one-on-one conversation. It has saved me hours since then, it has simplified the process and made it smooth. Now, I don't have to worry about the contacts that'll drop after following up and now I can say that my onboarding operation has become more streamlined.
  • Tailor made customization
  • Qualifying prospects and lead engagement.
  • Integration with CRM is easy
  • More should be done on integration part, multiple tools should be readily available to be integrated to.
  • There should be some intermediate plan for small firms too. Often these firms don't want advanced options and basic is too basic for them.
  • There should be more control over conversational cues
Best suited for queries/onboarding/lead qualification/ticketing. ONE-ONE queries. I won't say it's free version is good for conflict resolution however I haven't tried the paid version yet so can't speak much about that. For anything basic if you want to save time with the prospecting part you can use this tool or if you have multiple queries with nearly same intent it becomes a go to tool

Data is very important specially when a company has thousands and thousands of container, ingating or outgating from terminals, yards, warehouses, etc. The information is a lot if we need to have a reliable source that we can trust in. IBM watsonx Assistant is that trustworthy that we're using. We have implemented new methods to manage the information specially with its IA which allow us to move forward with other tasks making sure and keeping in mind that the tool will help us to complete the jobs easily and even automatically in some cases. Implementing cloud services has been a dilema especially when we have to manage sensitive information but this service has given us the opportunity to trust and work smarter. Something else that we value is the capacity this software has to interact with us, meaning we can just reduce the type we spend by just asking questions, given specific tasks that will get responded in a timely manner. In general is a perfect software.
  • It integrates great with other tools or services that we use, of course specially with those that comes from IBM that work perfectly fine together.
  • Since it understands all the data we give to it, we can organize the information easily without too much hassle.
  • This is something I already mentioned but is great how you can interact with the tool because it understands you.
  • In the meantime something really great is that due to its capacity to learn it can even recommend you to do something in a better way.
  • Even though it interacts great with other services, there are some connection failures, but it's something that for sure will improve.
  • The reasoning part is something that needs to be improved for sure. I mean is something that is starting but for sure needs to improve to give better results.
  • Something really amazing could be the implementation. Specially with people not oriented to IA services, there should be an easier way to implement services like this one with people not use to this type of technology.
This services works perfectly fine when you're in an environment where technology is our friend. Meaning that we have to implement it in spaces where people understands it, however when that's done, for sure the results are completely amazing. Whenever you use it, you can notice the difference between a standard service and a smart service. This is not adequate for people with small understanding of technology. At least not yet.

In our organization, we use Watsonx Assistant to develop a virtual assistant that interacts with our customers through different channels, such as online chat and mobile applications. The virtual assistant is able to answer frequently asked questions, provide information about our products and services, and assist customers with problem resolution. In addition, Watsonx Assistant has been integrated with our internal systems, allowing us to automate repetitive processes and tasks. For example, we have configured the virtual assistant to perform identity verifications, issue balance inquiries and perform basic transactions. This has improved operational efficiency and allowed us to free up resources for more strategic tasks.
  • Provides fast and accurate responses to our customers.
  • Learns and adapts, continually improving its responses and recommendations as it interacts with customers.
  • Integrates seamlessly with our internal systems and databases.
  • We can customize and adjust the virtual assistant's responses and recommendations to suit our customers' specific needs.
  • It provides valuable information about our customers' needs and preferences.
  • Setting up and training Watson Assistant can take time and requires technical expertise.
  • Implementing and using Watson Assistant can be costly.
Watsonx Assistant is ideal for providing automated customer service. It can answer frequently asked questions, provide product and service information and guide customers through standard processes. This frees up customer service agents for more complex queries and provides customers with a fast and convenient self-service experience. In addition, it can be used to provide personalized financial advice. It can analyze customers' financial information, such as income, expenses and financial goals, and provide recommendations tailored to their individual needs.

This is one of the solution we considered for our customer success team, it was intended to become a "complimentary" for our existing agent. The tool was intended to answer our user's queries, disputes, suggestions etc as they were repetitive, it was implemented using a free account and never managed to reach the commercial level, but the tool gave us impressions that it can
  1. Easily configured
  2. It can work as an intended virtual agent / chatbot
  3. The documentation is good
  4. WhatsApp integration is impressive

Too bad our budgeting were not sufficient to go to enterprise mode, this would be such a great tool

  • Chatbot
  • Self learning
  • Integration
  • Installation
  • Configuration
  • I don't see any issues apart from cost that will be a hindrance for most companies
It did well in AI integration for your chatbot / virtual agent, it has the ability to translate the natural language that your users used, then conclude them into a predefined/trained flows so the answers can be given to users in more human way, the development was quite easy as it has a good documentation, integration with WhatsApp was also seamless, this will be a great solution if you are heading to less human contact center with high volume of requests and you want to try to minimize the human portion into as little as possible. Workflows are easy to build , a definite contender for a creative way to integrate business and gen-AI

It is a great tool, apart from the costing that are not for every organizations out there, the regulation surrounding AI is still a thin ice and that could be a potential problem later

In my personal opinion, it really gives you wings that you have a proper assistant. It gets you some news if asked, updates addresses, can be linked to a company website easily, is adaptable, easy to integrate, and very quick in response with accurate and consistent answers. Moreover, it has a free version and a 30-day trial for the paid version to check if that really suits your requirements.
  • Quick responses
  • Can be used a chatbot for customer service/website
  • Easy to deploy
  • Local languages has to be added (as of now it has only English)
  • Acquires more space and data
  • Apart from the lite version, it is too pricy
On a website for some initial connections for the visitors on the website, IBM Watson Assistant is the best. Its AI understands the requirements of the client, and its natural language processing gives quick and accurate answers if we have some content setup. It transforms the way customer is handled. It can tackle large amounts of data, too.

We have different clients associated with us and for one of the client we came up with a solution to integrate IBM watsonx Assistant. One of the oldest solution available in the market. We were asked to develop , integrate and test the IBM watsonx Assistant. We developed a chatbot for one of our client and used IBM watsonx Assistant extensively. The client is from travel and tourism domain and wish to integrate chatbot to its application in order to save time and efforts of both customers and employees. So he came up with proposal and asked to serve. And we have successfully developed , integrated and tested their application with IBM watsonx Assistant. The Results of integration of IBM watsonx Assistant to their application has proven great results. It has answered most of the questions of customers in less time. It was very much precise in answering the questions.
  • Dynamic Chtbots
  • Accuracy
  • Automate answering
  • Consolidating
  • Accuracy level should be more
  • Support from IBM
  • Documentation Support
Most suited areas : - I think both Business to Business (B2B) and Business to customer (B2C) can be benefitted . In my opinion, if you are going to handle large number of customers on daily basis then this product is must to have integrated in your applications. As it will decrease the dependency of human interventions and increase the response time.

Less Suited areas : - I think any application which has less number of customers in volume should should think about it before using it.

We use Watson Assistant to build a Chatbot to provide full support to our customers on basic questions about our systems and to perform some automated transactions where Watson Assistant is integrated with our internal systems and with RPAs. Watson Assistant was the preference at the time for its high capacity and assertiveness, being able to integrate with other systems and having a context control that we think is a differential in relation to other competitors.
  • conversation context management
  • easy integration with other systems
  • high assertiveness of AI models
  • Could use generative AI to improve chatbot conversations
  • Easy integration with Whatsapp
Compared to other competitors, watsonX Assistant provided a better conversational experience.

My use case was simple - to explore building a conversational AI chatbot. Being a drag and drop builder, IBM Watson assistant seemed like a perfect enabler for me.
The business problems to be solved was - In my organization, we had been receiving a lot of user queries regarding various grades of steel. We wanted to make some sort of a conversational AI chatbot which could help with the initial screening of leads and also answer some ready to answer FAQs.
  • Drag and Drop Builder so no knowledge of in depth coding required
  • Very intuitive interface
  • Subscription based service so can be used only when required, instead of lump sum purchase
  • Uses NLP to understand the user queries. Very less bugs in deployment
  • Great tool to qualify sales leads
  • A tad bit expensive
  • more subscription options can be provided, especially for subsidiary companies
  • training data is difficult to collect and structure
As I was a part of the sales team, I explored IBM Watson for creating a conversational AI chatbot. It was amazing for creating a first filter which could not only answer basic questions coming in from the contact database, but could also qualify leads in to hot, warm, and cold. In my opinion, IBM Watson requires very structured data to give meaningful outputs. If the user switches language which asking questions, sometimes the IBM watson assistant generated chatbot provides gibberish answers. That is less appropriate.

IBM watsonx Assistant has been developed into a fully integrated chatbot to address the business' retail customer support function in multiple countries. Our retail customers now have access to 24/7/365 support with fast response to both common and bespoke enquiries. Internally, watsonx Assistant has reduced the time/effort our operations team spends on phone and email requests, giving the team extra capacity to focus on value added, continuous improvement activities.
  • Ease of integration with popular channels/applications (web integration, Intercom, Slack)
  • Customizable (can add APIs)
  • Good blend of curated (logic tree), conversational AI, and visual cues (widgets) to give end-users flexibility in how they interact with the bot
  • Ability for the end-user to see/retrieve chat history
  • Better integration with popular social messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Skype, TikTok, etc.)
  • Drag-and-drop/ability to quickly add complex widgets (e.g., calendars, pre-formatted phone number entry, address finder, etc.)
IBM Watson Assistant is well suited for customer support, customer success management, email conversation monitoring/routing, and live agent escalations.

Whilst the basic building blocks and functionality are easy to understand, IBM Watson Assistant does take time and developer expertise to unlock its full potential.

IBM Watson Assistant is less appropriate for rapid turnkey deployment when compared to other competitor offerings.

provide customer support: IBM Watson Assistant can be integrated with chatbots or voice assistants to provide customers with instant support for their queries. This can help reduce the workload on human support agents and improve customer satisfaction as most clients have some specific questions about certain aspects and the best thing is to give them an assistant that can give them the answers they are looking for without them wasting time.
  • integration with Multiple Channels
  • Personalization : depending on the questions they ask i can create actions
  • Easy to Use : it's user friendly
  • i find it hard sometimes that for every question a customer asks I have to write manually all the steps also known as actions, I would love if we have a list of actions that are predefined for us to use without writing it all
  • I would also love if we can use AI to generate the actions
  • Cost: IBM Watson Assistant can be expensive for smaller businesses, as pricing is based on usage and can quickly add up. This may limit the tool's accessibility for smaller businesses that are on a tighter budget.
IBM Watson Assistant is a good tool, I love how easy it is you need no experience in coding or even an IT background, I just need to create an action and a few steps for it to configure my assistant, another good side is the live preview I can try and use the tool and test it like a customer would do, to see if there are some aspects of improvement because our goal is to make our clients 100% satisfied.

IBM Watson Assistant has helped us create intuitive and cognitive assistants to help address major business problems, including self-service, allowing our customers to answer over 50% of questions they have by themselves and through virtual assistants. Another business problem IBM Watson Assistant helped us with is reducing the number of phone calls received from clients asking repetitive questions or having access issues and similar simple tasks, which we automated within Watson Assistants thanks to the Advanced Actions feature. This helped our agents to free up over 40% of their time to tackle more complicated issues and deliver a quality service by knowing about the clients' issues before the calls were handed off to them by Watson Assistant in case the assistant failed to answer clients' questions.
  • IBM Watson Assistant helps create virtual assistants in a matter of hours or days, depending on how simple or complex your workflows are.
  • IBM Watson Assistant has a great feature called "Actions" that allows technical and business users alike to create simple and advanced actions to help them create workflows to answer questions that clients might have with the option to regress back even when interrupted by other questions in the middle of the workflow in progress.
  • IBM Watson Assistant integrates nicely with several extensions, including not only Watson Discovery to benefit from the SearchSkill feature but also with a custom search using OpenAPI to allow for the assistant to answer questions from other data sources or the Internet in general.
  • Watson Assistant requires some improvement in the way it deals with multimedia content when displayed on the assistant. As of now, IBM Watson Assistant has issues displaying technical diagrams on a small chat window. This is definitely something that needs some improvement.
  • It is sometimes hard and time-consuming to create some advanced actions while creating the virtual assistant so I suggest that the IBM Watson Assistant development team would work on creating sample templates for some simple to advanced actions according to industry to help kick-start the process of creating the initial virtual assistant.
  • IBM Watson Assistant is great, but it is not magic on its own; it requires more extensions which, in my opinion, are very limited to a few possibilities. Enhancing the extensions with other products, including open-source solutions, ought to be a priority for the Watson Assistant development team.
I strongly believe that IBM Watson Assistant is well suited for the following: - managing call centers dealing with huge numbers of calls and offering clients the option to self-serve through virtual assistants that can learn and adapt. - automating repetitive workflows in a way that allows clients to go through a series of steps to achieve the desired outcome, such as a password reset, requesting an update on an incident and/or request, checking account balance, ordering products and/or services, checking product availability and stock levels, etc. However, IBM Watson Assistant still needs further improvements, especially for clients who do not wish to implement a virtual assistant that has a UI and they wish to leverage Assistant through API calls to integrate with other systems. The current APIs are still missing several useful APIs and more resources to allow clients to learn how to implement, deploy and use Watson Assistant without its UI.

We identified a need for standardization in the information passed on to and by the technical team, as well as the loss of useful information when an employee leaves the company; as we do not have a structured knowledge base, training new employees and finding information with operational procedures was a very hard task. With the creation of our chatbot the persona SUSAN, we not only managed to maintain a single knowledge base shared with the entire team, but also facilitated the location of manuals, training videos, and key information about our customers in a simple and accurate way, which became available 24x7. Technical staff can ask questions specifying products, error codes, doubts or ask for help to obtain the desired information. In the next step, we intend to expand this service to our customers. Currently, SUSAN can be accessed by a web publication or by mobile devices through PWA technology. Through the use of webhook, we were able to expand the existing resources in our Watson Assistant bot, implementing material sent by email or forms requested by the user. An update that we are implementing in this tool is the automatic translation of texts into other languages and delivery of SUSAN as a Telegram Bot channel. We have a draft environment that can be accessed (with a very restricted access level) at this address: https://demodoka.ddns.net/en-susan
  • It has a great NLU engine. The understanding of the sentence informed by the user and its association with the available intentions makes the dialogue more natural and fluid, avoiding linguistic or context confusion.
  • Bot development is fast and has a short learning curve. For more advanced users, being able to write your formula directly into the JSON content is a big plus.
  • Components such as slots and webhook are present in most virtual assistants, but watsonx Assistant allows you to expand these features with combinations and flow rules, allowing you to cover much more of the possibilities and ramifications that a conversation can have. This was a differentiator for me to choose watsonx Assistant among other options on the market.
  • The possibility of using it in a free plan makes it possible to assess the extent to which the tool will meet the needs of the project.
  • Visual formatting options are almost non-existent from the WA panel, using the Carbon Design System is cumbersome and the documentation is very poor.
  • It doesn't have a native conversion of text to encoding with channels like Telegram and WhatsApp, as there is in google Dialogflow.
  • The new iframe resource uses sandbox but without the option to be able to change its parameters. Could have the parameterization options in the text field itself or by the JSON editor
Recommended for scenarios where all response text can be entered in the dialog tree, or in Actions mode text boxes. Also suitable for environments with complex dialogs, with many deviations. The 8-sec limitation for getting a response from a Webhook is a deterrent to using in more usage scenarios.

have selected Watson Assistant as our Chatbot technology due largely to the low-code business-friendly conversation design studio. Which is well ahead of AWS Google and MS as far as enabling business groups to extend and manage the conversations. IBM have been swift to provide expert guidance and advice where needed to speed us on our journey.
  • Create internal/operational efficiencies
  • Improve customer relations.
  • Improved customer services.
  • Little complex.
  • Should be more affordable.
  • Data visualization should be more easy
The main reason for deploying IBM Watson Assistant in our organization is to simplify our business process by introducing chatbots that can easily be customizable and delight our customers. It is one of the best software that can easily scale any business. It fulfills our organization's needs and brings a lot of changes in our environment, and gives good business outcomes. It provides confidentiality in data security. It is straightforward to use and provides an efficient way of analyzing the data.

We at ActiveBuildings have used IBM Watson for our customer end side. We have a tool that lets the users book an appointment for air quality testing and it requires many inputs and answers to questions from the customers for an optimal understanding. The problem we solved with IBM Watson Assistant was building follow-up questions and customer query understanding from the inputs of the customers and it was a colossal improvement based on our internal satisfaction surveys.
  • Query Understanding. Natural Language Understanding
  • Fast, smart and Accurate
  • Customizable on our own data
  • Hiqhly pluggable with existing tools and infrastructure
  • Cost Effective
  • merger of other IBM Watson products like speech and image recognition is required
  • Payment plans for early startups
  • Self hosted onprem version
Best suited for QNA-based bots and support request bots. I had experience using other tools and tech but I can vouch that no other bots are as intelligent and better suited for enterprise needs as IBM Watson. This is simply because of the IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding and the level of integrations that can be done with it. Based on our internal surveys, the customer satisfaction response with this tech on top of our products is excellent. I still believe that areas, where it requires multimodal needs like automating docs, images, and voice with all the natural language understanding, are still not inclusive and can be added to the product.

We have been using IBM Watson Assistant in multiple projects to address the needs of a number of our clients. The use cases range from answering FAQs for a municipality (e.g., when is garbage day or where are dog-friendly parks) to automatically generating conversations to assess students' understanding of different topics to providing mental health comfort to people in military and their families who don't want to have it on record.
  • Easy to develop the conversation flow.
  • Using the API to modify the conversation flow.
  • Good in picking up synonyms.
  • API v2 is still not very efficient in term of manipulating the conversation. API v1 is way more flexible.
  • There is a limit on the number of skills per IBM Watson Assistant instance, which is causing us trouble creating skills programmatically.
  • We are unable to use our own language model.
IBM Watson Assistant is great for beginners, as it is very fast/easy to learn and complex conversation flows can be achieved with minimum effort. The main issue with its simplicity is that, if you're not careful, it results in spaghetti conversation flows which are very hard to maintain. Context attributes can also be a rabbit hole and we do our best to stay away from using them.

We were using IBM Watson Assistant to build an audio based bot (AudioBot) for one of our in-house Human Resource Systems for company employee use. It was intended to integrate the Assistant with one of our systems application, where users/employee can access their data, payslips, profile and other details using voice based commands. We were able to deploy in one company site for test and calibration purpose, we got overall positive reviews and feedback from most of the users. In few cases we had to improve the queries as to perform faster and accurate processing and indexing of the requests.
  • Provide great APIs to integrate and work it. One can easily integrate it with any of the systems, applications, and devices without much overhead.
  • Localised configuration based on user preference
  • Detailed API and other support documentation with examples if possible to help developers in easy integration
  • Use case reference examples codes etc.

I use IBM Watson Assistant to embed its artificial intelligence (AI) a,d virtual assistant (VA) into my software and build more applications much faster. The product makes it a seamless process to create smart FAQs for my customers and provides support for repeated questions.
  • Access to IBM Watson Assistant AI is delivered through the IBM Cloud.
  • Use of IBM Watson Assistant AI, machine learning and natural language understanding.
  • Users interact with the application through a variety of interfaces, including voice and touch.
  • More support on API service is required.
  • Features should be added for training and modifications of model.
  • The interface can feel a bit daunting.
It is best suited for automotive and hospitality vertical industries and less appropriate for advanced virtual assistant scenarios.

In our company it is used as AI chatbot to help the organization in different aspects understanding the user queries and to collect the most relevant details . My company gets intent classification with the help to enhance things in terms of user credibility and this helps a lot.This helps our organization to build better virtual Agents for the convenience of my company customers and visualization and analysis the requirements for critical and dynamical aspects . My company performance has improved.
  • Analyzes the data for our company
  • Understand the aspect of chatting user
  • Try to meet the requirements of users
  • Does the work of most work force
  • Need more capability to understand the user
  • There should be featured to upload and capture responses from the user
  • Need to improve dashboard assistant
  • Improve auto learning function
  • Need to reduce monthly cost
In terms of protection against the organization it is good and well. In a scenario where the need to understand customer queries and concern, it is very good the adaption part is also good for the product. It helps for e-commerce supplies and sales..multi tasking feature is also good design and well prepared.

Our startup named ATRIS (Auto Transcribe Intelligent and Smart) gives many features to users with the core feature being automatic transcribe of Minutes of Meetings. We give a complete report including a summary type of the meeting important keyword date and deadlines, the tone of the meetings. Apart from the meeting we also managed services for individual customers and custom supports for like doctor-patient conversations. To give our users easy accessibility to what feature they want to use we implemented IBM Watson Assistant. It not only takes users to where they need it but also helps with FAQs and other functionalities.
  • Manage FAQs of the customers
  • No code integration of a cool ChatBot
  • Unique Customer experience with its adaptive intelligence
  • Super easy to use
  • Can add different language supports
  • UI can be improved
  • Custom experience for the customers can be enhanced
To the best of my knowledge, IBM Watson is best for the software intended for business to customer products. As customers can be of any type there are some that can figure out things and some need help with accessing your website or software. For the business-to-business products, I think the ChatBot would be unnecessary as the employee are mostly trained.

Using IBM Watson Assistant we have developed our ChatBot for instant messaging. Our platform is an eCommerce platform and sells products all over the world, hence we have trained the assistant for multiple languages so users from different language preferences can interact and get the information instantly. It helps us to lower the manpower and make our instant message system awesome.
  • Multitasking is easy
  • Data privacy
