What’s so special About AI and ML?
Now coming to Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, both find its significance in many industries ranging from Game development to Restaurant app development. Various big brands like Netflix have already made great use of such technologies with the use of data analytics and smart and advanced algorithms that are used to understand user search behavior.
After understanding user search behavior, it then provides relevant results to a user. This leads to great conversion. The same could be said regards to the use of Chatbots and Voice assistants. A Chatbot can assist users thereby minimizing the need to have an employee on the other end. Whereas voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant has changed the entire dynamics of search methods.
