Technologies used in Conversational AI
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): ASR as a user interface has become ever more useful. This technology is deployed when the voice needs to be interpreted to text.
Advanced Dialog Management: Dialog Management commands the actual context of the dialogues. For example, the user says “ I want to order pasta” the bot understands the same and will proceed to order. Then the user might say “ change it to pizza”. Here the user refers to an order that he had placed earlier. The bot needs to interpret the same and make relevant changes.
Natural Language Understanding: Natural Language Processing is the technology used by computers to understand the human’s natural language. AI can read texts shared in multiple languages as per the programming. Chatbots and voice bots use this technology to generate natural language according to the input that they have received.
It creates the responses by converting the computer-generated replies into a language that is understandable for humans. This technology uses dialog management to conduct this task seamlessly.
Machine Learning (ML): Machine learning is the capability of the computer to learn without exclusively being trained. It allows the software applications to become more accurate in predicting the outcome using the previous knowledge.
ML understands user behavior and guides the app to create better responses. Humans can also join machine learning in this task and together make the Conversational AI app a better interactor for customers.

Supportive wing to employees: By using the right technology, we can reduce the burden on human agents and save their time by allowing the voice or chatbot to address the simpler queries where the human requirement is not necessary.
