Is an AI chatbot enough or should it be integrated with CRM?
AI chatbots are increasingly used to automate customer interactions and improve efficiency. However, many companies realize that a standalone chatbot often fails to deliver meaningful results beyond basic responses.
The issue is not the chatbot itself, but how it is implemented. Without integration, it lacks context and continuity.
