    • Business-minded people know enough to pick the best conversational AI platforms
    • Conversational AI is an Add-On. 
    • Pre-trained bots are less work.

    • Automating current workflows is optimal
    • Phones are outdated and irrelevant 
    • You need to hire a conversational AI expert. 
    • You can get to the next level with the system you already have. 
    • There is one platform to rule them all. 
    • This is like any other software buildout.

    • You can upload all your organization’s stored data and proceed to launch
    • Your goal is to mimic humans
