Overall Satisfaction with IBM watsonx Assistant

We use IBM watsonx Assistant to drive our on-site customer support and to respond to basic product questions. It helps our organization to provide a better and more cohesive customer experience, and to save money on actual people responding to repetitive and simple questions that can be addressed by AI.
  • Interface is intuitive and easy-to-learn
  • Deep customization ability within the AI library and ability to constantly learn
  • Chatbots and website virtual assistants can be created/deployed quickly and low LOE
  • Fine tuning the AI models can be a bit difficult and has a steep learning curve
  • The tool is very pricey
  • The tool lags at times and sometimes the main sever running it needs to be rebooted
  • Frees up headcount otherwise used for mundane email/chat responses to focus on other areas
  • Improves customer satisfaction and thus, likelihood to buy again from us
  • Can respond to multiple incoming questions/requests faster than a human could
The drag-and-drop interface is very intuitive and does not take a lot of learning to pick up. There is also no need to know how to code, which is very helpful in non-technical areas of a company.
Whereas previous AI engines that we utilized made many mistakes and did not accurately understand questions/requests, IBM watsonx Assistant is able to provide consistent and high-level feedback to customers; this improves their satisfaction since their questions are answered and they do not get frustrated with the tool misunderstanding them.
