During Shoptalk, MindMeld Launches Conversational AI Solution to End Frustrating Chatbot Experiences on Facebook Messenger

"It is easy for most of us to recount frustrating experiences we have had with virtual assistants or messaging bots," said Tim Tuttle, founder and CEO of MindMeld. "Fortunately, recent AI breakthroughs can now solve this problem. Leading retailers and e-commerce companies have already started to leverage these new technologies to create conversational interfaces their users love. Our MindMeld for Commerce solution simplifies the process for all companies to benefit from."

Facebook, Microsoft and others have recently opened access to enable companies to reach more than 1.5 billion users across the world's most popular messaging platforms. This represents an unprecedented new opportunity to reach customers. However, most initial attempts to build conversational bot experiences for these platforms have met with mixed results.

Building a bot appears simple at first glance, but creating one which lives up to user expectations requires some of the most advanced AI technology available today, including the ability to do:

• intent classification
• natural language understanding
• dialog management
• question answering

MindMeld for Commerce provides all of these state-of-the-art technologies, empowering large retailers to create conversational experiences which can outperform today's bots as well as virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa and Cortana. 

With MindMeld for Commerce, retailers can build new conversational interfaces that can:

• help users easily find the information or product they want without needing to call customer support;
• enable quick messaging-based transactions without requiring users to install a native app;
• deliver better customer support at lower cost by automating the most common customer interactions.

Pricing and Availability

MindMeld for Commerce is available today as an enterprise-grade, on-premise solution as well as a cloud-based offering.  MindMeld provides both the advanced technology and expertise to transform any company's proprietary data into an advanced AI platform to power next-generation conversational interfaces.
