Project description
A chatbot with European values
It is more common than not these days to encounter a pop-up chat box when visiting webpages. Real people are behind many of them – but increasingly, an automated chatbot does the job. The software uses AI and natural language processing to process and simulate human conversation. The French SME Botfuel offers chatbots for businesses that can handle complex conversations and interact with companies’ IT systems. The EU-funded PME Instrument v2 project is helping the team develop a business plan for a European solution that respects European governance regarding data privacy.
Objective
More and more companies are seeking to build chatbots and seize the conversational intelligence opportunity. Nevertheless,
the chatbot development ecosystem is still relatively immature, which means it’s not as easy as it will eventually be to
develop chatbots. Botfuel is a French company founded in 2016 that provides a solution platform for “2nd generation” chatbots. Designed specifically for enterprise companies, these “2nd generation” bots can handle complex conversations (multi-intents, digressions, change of mind,..) and can interact with companies IT systems like CRM, support and ticketing software or HR. They are customisable, evolutive, scalable and easily manageable from a versioning and testability perspective. Additionally, while most vendors are American or Asian, Botfuel offers a European solution aligned with European Governance about Data privacy and sovereignty.
