If you wish to quickly deploy multilingual chatbots without having to worry about infrastructure and model training, go for Amazon Lex. It is one of the best general-purpose conversational AI solutions in the market. The cherry on the cake is that it also seamlessly integrates with other AWS services, so you would be good there. Performance monitoring is very easy with AWS. It has support for both text and integration. If you are not a pro-NLP expert, Amazon Lex will make your job really easy.

In our case, it is well-suited for workday integration, which allows us to automate the entire workflow. However, we are still working on the O9 platform integration, which we feel is less appropriate, and integrating the workflow into the platform.

  • User experience in custom skills could be simplified.
  • APIs are great... but form/website-based form interaction could be improved (as other similar products have.
  • Training and documentation are delivered for 101 getting started, and when you need deeper technical understanding, documentation could be improved.

IBM Watson simply works well for my organisation. We were able to design, build, and deploy a fully integrated chatbot in a matter of months. The basic building blocks (intents, skills, dialogue nodes, integration) are relatively straightforward for a technical developer to work with. The bot now supports retail customers in 3 different countries on both web and app based channels. We plan to further develop the bot to expand the way it interacts with customers through voice to text, and optical character recognition, as well as an improved UI.

Usability
Easy to deploy and very easy to integrate with other AWS services. Automating simple tasks is also very easy with Amazon Lex. We never had NLP experts in our team, but we were still able to deploy chatbots for our support functions with minimal issues. Native integration with other AWS services like S3 and Lambda has been of paramount importance.

With the growing use of AI and chatbots, it's very easy to use, and the conversational language makes it easier than keyword searches in a document. The contextual language processing is impressive. It's easy to integrate into our internal portal. The use of this tool would depend on each company's security and data sensitivity.

Support Rating
Community support for Amazon Lex is good. Also, since it is an AWS service, the support has a similar standard as other AWS services. We have had a couple of instances of our bots weren't able to interact with our web apps. We reached out to the support team, and they were able to resolve our issue in no time. The documentation from the Amazon Lex team also makes creating chatbots a breeze.

We've rarely had to engage support, but they've always been prompt in responding and very attentive. Support experiences have been extremely positive (but we're mostly happy that we just don't have any cause to routinely need support in the first place!).

I think this product's got a lot more use cases from a business standpoint. I find the other products are very based in end users and also the orchestrator has a lot more agnostic connections to a lot of products, whereas Microsoft is very Microsoft dominated and the other products are very technical and not business focused.

  • The clients have received additional, rather enhanced, individual conversion rates of users who interact with the virtual assistant.
  • Due to the introduction of automated methods of handling a majority of the calls that are made, many call center agents are thus left to handle only complicated cases.
  • According to a more advanced understanding of patterns, the assistant has been critical in suggesting solutions and thus drove optional revenue management.
