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.

For Development using Joule is improving very well. Lot of improvement is still needed. Joule is only available in BTP right now but we are looking forward to use Joule in our RISE environment. Businss AI with Joule is also improving. More and more apps are supported. But to make best use, we need more supported apps and custom app support.

  • 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
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.

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!).

Joule is better because it doesn't take only data available on the web, but combines that with data provided directly by the game publisher through API to us which includes every single match played = all data points from all of those matches.

From past 3+ years I am using IBM Watson in our current project easily can implement and manage and monitor user how their using. Is there and update also just update dialog is just enough to change no need to touch any other templates. Multiple language will support, and action and dialog speak recognize chatbot we can create as per client requirement. Overall, as of now good experience with IBM Watson.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
