Conversational AI : This allows the AI Agent to engage in real-time dialogues with users . It understands user inputs , processes them , and responds in a way that mimics human conversation . Conversational AI is adept at understanding context , managing multi-turn conversations , providing service across multiple channels in the same conversation , and providing relevant responses . Critically , it is integrated into your backend systems and can actually get things done , i . e . carry out service processes either partially or end-to-end .
Generative AI : While Conversational AI provides the business logic , structure , and guardrails , Generative AI produces unique , contextually relevant content on the fly . It ’ s not limited to pre-programmed responses but can generate answers and solutions , or even creative content . With Conversational AI serving as the initial and exclusive point of contact for the customer , it can carefully select and tailor responses using precise prompt templates . This process ensures the Language Model ( LLM ) performs reliably without encountering issues such as hallucinations or other risks .
Together , these technologies empower the AI Agent to deliver a seamless , personalized , and efficient user experience . Whether it ’ s answering queries , providing support , or guiding users through complex processes , an AI Agent powered by the perfect combination of Conversational and Generative AI ensures that all interactions are fluid , relevant , and indistinguishable from human counterparts .
