What is conversational AI?

Conversational AI is an umbrella term for technology that enables machines to hold natural conversations with humans — via both text (chat) and speech (phone). It combines language understanding, language generation and often speech-to-speech technology.

Chatbot vs. conversational AI

A chatbot is a specific product. Conversational AI is the technology behind it. Modern conversational AI can hold conversations across channels (phone, chat, web), understand context over time, and perform actions in external systems — like booking an appointment or checking an order status.

Use cases for conversational AI

Customer service on phone and chat, sales and lead qualification, appointment booking, internal support (IT, HR), and automated customer follow-up. The technology is industry-agnostic — it works anywhere there are conversations.
