What is AI Email Response?
Using artificial intelligence to automatically read, understand, and respond to customer emails without human involvement.
AI email response refers to using artificial intelligence to automatically read, understand, and respond to customer emails. Unlike simple auto-replies, AI email response actually resolves inquiries by understanding the question and providing accurate answers.
