What is Conversational AI?

Conversational AI refers to technologies that enable computers to engage in natural, human-like dialogue. Unlike simple chatbots that follow scripts, conversational AI understands context, maintains dialogue flow, and adapts to user needs.

Components of Conversational AI

• Natural Language Understanding (NLU): Comprehends user input
• Dialogue Management: Tracks conversation state and context
• Natural Language Generation (NLG): Creates human-like responses
• Speech Recognition: Converts voice to text (for voice interfaces)
• Text-to-Speech: Converts responses to voice

Conversational AI vs Chatbots

• Chatbots: Rule-based, scripted responses, limited understanding
• Conversational AI: Context-aware, dynamic responses, handles complexity

Use Cases

Conversational AI powers:

• Customer service: Resolving support inquiries autonomously
• Sales: Qualifying leads and answering product questions
• HR/IT: Employee self-service for common requests
• Healthcare: Symptom checking and appointment scheduling
• Finance: Account inquiries and transaction support

Key Capabilities

• Multi-turn conversations: Handles back-and-forth dialogue
• Context retention: Remembers earlier parts of conversation
• Intent switching: Adapts when users change topics
• Clarification: Asks follow-up questions when needed
• Personalization: Tailors responses based on user data

Measuring Success

Key metrics for conversational AI:

• Resolution rate: Problems actually solved (not just deflected)
• Containment rate: Conversations completed without handoff
• CSAT: Customer satisfaction with AI interaction
• Average handle time: Speed to resolution

Maven AGI Difference: Our conversational AI goes beyond dialogue - it takes action. Mastermind achieves 93% resolution because Maven can answer questions, process requests, and complete transactions. That is conversational AI that delivers outcomes.
