Conversational AI and Psychology: Personalised Automated Brand Interactions
Remember when you had to visit a bank personally to make money transfers or find out about your bank balance? Fortunately, internet banking and mobile banking apps came into existence and dispensed the requirement of visiting a branch for basic banking transactions.

For instance, one of the early adopters of this technology, Bank of America, has deployed Erica, an AI-powered chatbot that helps customers carry out day-to-day banking operations. You can ask Erica for your bank balance information, pay bills, transfer money and even seek personalized budgeting suggestions based on your spending. Great, isn’t it?

One example is Replika, an AI-based friend that listens to you

Intelligent Content Processing for Chatbots
“Scientia potentia est or Knowledge is Power.” Whenever an enterprise is working with a large pool of data, the requirement arises for Intelligent Content Processing.

This is where Intelligent Content Processing comes into play. What is Intelligent Content Processing? Intelligent Content Processing via a Document Cognition engine is a way to process unstructured textual data. Document cognition leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning, cognitive science, and natural language processing to index structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. When is Intelligent Content Processing via Document Cognition leveraged by a virtual assistant? When an enterprise is dealing with a massive quantity of documents containing mostly (>70%) text, it incredibly inefficient – and at times impossible – to convert this data into a structured format that
