Cognigy recommends reading Gartner's Thought Leadership report: The Future of Customer Self-Service: The Digital Future Will Stall Without Customer-Led Automation. Gartner says,“ Application leaders supporting long-term planning of customer self-service should use this report to explore the top two major trends driving the evolution of customer self-service, and the impact of the four scenarios we outline.“

Humans tend to be imprecise in what they say and write: Incomplete utterances, ambiguities and typos are just a few challenges for Conversational AIs. You can compensate for these issues by searching a list of items using Cognigy’s new Fuzzy Search module.

Based on the Apache License open source project Fuse.js, a search can be configured in a couple of ways to improve the result. For instance, the result could include the score for each hit which describes the distance between the search term and the item. Zero means it is a perfect match, while a score of one indicates a complete mismatch. It is worth mentioning, because popular NLUs (Natural Language Understanding) work with probability where the values usually mean the exact opposite.

Conversational AI dialogs can serve as a user interface for location-specific search requests -- ideally to get a straight-through answer to a user's query. HERE (aka NAVTAQ) provides an API that allows you to easily use locations in a conversation or to search for relevant places nearby. In addition to raw data, HERE generates graphical content to enrich information with maps. These can be used with chatbots or in conjunction with screen-based devices like the Amazon Echo Show or Google Next Hub.

HERE focuses on a location concept and the potential of the way we get around and the way we live and the way we are shaping the future by redefining what was formerly known as a map. Cognigy.AI now ships with an out-of-the-box integration for HERE to retrieve locations, find places and show maps.
