Revolutionise customer service with generative, LLM-powered chatbots​

In the world of artificial intelligence, there’s been a buzz around a new type of “chatbot” powered by generative large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.

These aren’t your average scripted chatbots or digital assistants; they’re capable of understanding and responding to complex questions and requests in a way that feels natural and even human-like.​

What are generative LLMs?

Unlike traditional chatbots that rely on a pre-programmed set of rules and responses, generative LLMs are trained on massive amounts of text data. This allows them to learn the nuances of language and generate original, context-aware responses. Think of it as the difference between a child learning from a limited set of flashcards and a child learning from a vast library of books.​

With an LLM on board, your business can provide instant customer support, drive lead generation, and foster healthier website engagement rates.

Generative LLMs vs. traditional chatbots

Generative LLMs

  • Capabilities: Understand and respond to complex questions, generate creative text formats, translate languages.
  • Learnings: Trained on massive amounts of text data, constantly improving.
  • Human likeness: Capable of generating responses that feel natural and engaging.

Traditional chatbots

  • Capabilities: Limited to scripted responses, often unable to handle complex or nuanced requests.
  • Learnings: Reliant on pre-programmed rules, limited ability to adapt.
  • Human likeness: Responses can feel stilted and robotic.

Business benefits of generative LLM-powered chatbots:

  • 24/7 availability: Round-the-clock customer support when your physical team are unavailable.
  • Personalised interactions: Reduce wait times and frustration with personalised, quick and accurate responses.
  • Reduced costs: LLMs can handle a high volume of queries, ultimately reducing the need for human agents and lowering customer support costs.

By understanding LLM capabilities and implementing them effectively, you can improve customer satisfaction and gain a competitive edge.

Offer a personalised website experience for optimal engagement and conversions

In today’s digital world where consumers are bombarded with information from all sides, it’s more important than ever to provide a personalised website experience.

When visitors feel like your website is speaking directly to them, they’re more likely to engage with your content and take the desired action, whether that’s making a purchase, signing up for your newsletter, or contacting you for more information.

AI can help you personalise your website in many ways, including:

  • Recommending products and services: AI can analyse customer data and browsing behaviour to recommend products and services that are likely to be of interest to each visitor.
  • Creating dynamic content: AI can be used to generate dynamic content, such as personalised landing pages and product descriptions, that are tailored to the individual visitor’s profile or behaviour. (See LLMs)
  • Segmenting your audience: AI can be used to automatically segment your audience based on their shared characteristics and needs.

By using AI to automate and personalise the website experience at scale, you can provide each individual visitor with a truly unique, engaging, and memorable experience.

80%* of companies that use AI for website personalisation report an increase in customer satisfaction.

Business benefits of personalised website experiences:

  • Tailored marketing messages: Meet the individual needs and interests of your visitors with personalised messaging.
  • Boosted user engagement: A personalised experience boosts clicks, engagement, and time spent on your site.
  • Higher conversion rates: Users are more likely to perform the desired action you are encouraging.

Unlock the secrets of customer behaviour and forecast sales with predictive analytics

Predictive analytics is a branch of data science that uses historical and real-time data to predict future outcomes. It is a powerful tool that can be used to understand customer behaviour and preferences, forecast sales, and craft targeted marketing campaigns.

Enhance your understanding of customer behaviour

By analysing customer data, predictive analytics can help you identify patterns and trends that you may not have been able to see on your own.

This information can be used to better understand customer needs and preferences, as well as to predict how customers are likely to behave in the future.

Forecast sales more accurately than ever before

By analysing historical sales data and other relevant factors, predictive analytics can help you identify trends and patterns that can be used to predict future sales performance.

This information can be used to make better decisions about inventory levels, marketing budgets, and other key business areas.

How AI can predict your customers’ behaviour and preferences.

We use a variety of AI techniques to predict your customers’ behaviour and preferences, including:

  • Machine learning: We use machine learning algorithms to analyse customer data and identify patterns and trends.
  • Natural language processing (NLP): We use NLP to understand the meaning behind customer feedback and other unstructured data.
  • Deep learning: We use deep learning to create complex models that can predict customer behaviour with a high degree of accuracy.

By using AI to predict your customers’ behaviour and preferences, we can help you develop more targeted and effective marketing strategies that lead to increased engagement and sales.

Business benefits of predictive analytics:

  • Identify customer segments: Base segmentation on shared characteristics and needs.
  • Predict customer churn: Take steps to retain at-risk customers.
  • Forecast customer demand: Identify demand for specific products or services.

Optimise website and marketing performance with AI-powered testing strategies

Testing strategies are essential for optimising your website and marketing campaigns. By using AI to automate and optimise the testing process, you can make data-driven decisions that can lead to significant improvements in performance.

What are A/B tests?

A/B testing is a type of experiment that compares two versions of a website element or marketing campaign to see which one performs better. This is done by randomly assigning visitors to one of the two versions and measuring their behaviour, such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and time spent on page.

Why are A/B tests important?

A/B tests are important because they allow you to make data-driven decisions about your website and marketing campaigns. By understanding what your visitors respond to best, you can make incremental changes that can lead to significant improvements in performance.

How can AI be used for A/B testing?

AI can be used to automate and optimise the A/B testing process in a number of ways. For example, it can be used to:

  • Generate and test a large number of variations of a website element or marketing campaign simultaneously.
  • Identify the best-performing variations based on historical data and other factors.
  • Personalise A/B tests to different visitor segments, such as demographics, interests, and purchase history.

Business benefits of testing strategies:

  • Increased efficiency: Automate the testing process to free up your time for other tasks.
  • Improved accuracy: Identify best-performing variations with greater accuracy than traditional methods.
  • Personalisation: Personalise A/B tests to different visitor segments, improving the relevance of your campaigns.

Use social media analytics to improve your strategy and gauge brand perception

Social media analytics is the process of collecting and analysing data from social media platforms to understand audience behaviour, sentiment, and engagement.

This data can be used to improve your content and ad strategies, gauge brand perception, and make more informed decisions about your social media marketing campaigns.

Why is social media analytics important?

Social media analytics allows you to understand how your target audience is interacting with your business on social media, both directly and indirectly.

This includes understanding what people are saying about your brand, your products or services, and your competitors. Social listening is a key component of social media analytics, and it allows you to identify trends and insights that you may not be able to see on your own.

How can AI be used for social media analytics?

AI can be used to:

  • Collect and analyse data from multiple social media platforms simultaneously.
  • Identify trends and patterns in audience behaviour and sentiment.
  • Personalise social media content and ads for different audience segments.
  • Gauge brand perception across different social media channels.

63%* of social media marketers are successfully using AI to inform their social media strategies.

Business benefits of social media analytics:

  • Increased efficiency: Automate the social media analytics process to free up your time for other tasks.
  • Improved accuracy: Identify trends and patterns in audience behaviour with greater accuracy.
  • Personalisation: Personalise social media content and ads for different audience segments.

Target your audience more precisely with AI customer segmentation

Customer segmentation is the process of dividing your customer base into smaller groups based on shared characteristics. This allows you to target your marketing campaigns more effectively, as you can tailor your messaging and offers to the specific needs and interests of each segment.

AI can be used to segment customers based on a variety of factors, including:

  • Behavioural data: This includes data on how customers interact with your website, app, and social media channels. For example, AI can be used to identify customers who have abandoned their shopping carts, or who have clicked on certain products or services more frequently.
  • Demographics: This includes data on customers’ age, gender, location, income, and education level. AI can be used to segment customers based on these demographics, or to create hybrid segments that combine behavioural and demographic data.
  • Third-party data: This includes data from third-party sources, such as social media platforms and data brokers. AI can be used to integrate this data with your own customer data to create more comprehensive and accurate segmentation models.

By leveraging first-party and third- party data, AI can be used to automatically segment your audience based on behaviour and demographics. This allows you to target your campaigns more effectively and reach the right customers with the right message at the right time.

AI-powered customer segmentation can help you identify up to 20%* more potential customers than traditional methods.

Business benefits of customer segmentation:

  • Improved ROI: Waste less money on marketing to people who aren’t interested in your products or services.
  • Increased conversions: Deliver more personalised messages and offers to your customers to increase engagement.
  • Better customer understanding: Get to know your customers’ needs and interests at a deeper level.

Boost revenue and optimise inventory with dynamic pricing

Dynamic pricing is the process of using AI to adjust product pricing based on real-time demand and competition. Although this can be a complex process, it offers significant benefits for your business and its customers.

Use case example:

An e-commerce store uses AI dynamic pricing to adjust the prices of its products based on real -time competition. If a competitor lowers the price of a product, the AI will automatically lower the price of the same product to remain competitive.

This means that customers can be sure that they are getting the best possible price on the products they want, even if they are comparing prices from different retailers.

The need for a specialist-backed strategy

Implementing AI dynamic pricing can be a complex process, so it’s important to have a specialist-backed strategy in place. This is because there are a fair few factors that need to be considered, such as:

  • Demand forecasting: AI dynamic pricing relies on accurate demand forecasting. This can be difficult, especially for products with seasonal demand or variable costs.
  • Competition monitoring: AI dynamic pricing also requires businesses to monitor their competitors’ prices in real-time. This can be time-consuming and challenging.
  • Pricing strategy: Businesses need to develop a pricing strategy that takes into account business goals, customer preferences, and competitive landscape.

A specialist-backed strategy can help your business overcome these challenges and implement AI-powered dynamic pricing successfully.

Business benefits of dynamic pricing:

  • Increased revenue: Be sure you’re always charging the optimal price for your products or services.
  • Reduced costs: Optimise your inventory levels by avoiding overstocking or understocking.
  • Enhanced customer satisfaction: Ensure your customers are getting the best prices and a personalised experience.

Keep ahead of the curve with trend analysis

In today’s rapidly changing world, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of industry trends. Trends can have a significant impact on the success of your business, so it’s essential to be able to identify and capitalise on them early.

How can AI help with trend analysis?

  • Gathering and analysing data: AI can help your business gather and analyse large amounts of data from a variety of sources, such as social media, industry reports, and customer feedback. This data can then be used to identify trends and patterns.
  • Predicting future trends: AI can be used to predict future trends based on historical data and current trends. This can help your business make more informed decisions about future plans.
  • Automating the trend analysis process: AI can automate the trend analysis process, freeing up you and your team to focus on other tasks.

Real-time trend monitoring

One of the remarkable capabilities of AI in trend analysis is its ability to monitor and adapt in real time. Traditional methods often struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of evolving trends, but AI algorithms excel in continuously scanning vast datasets for the latest shifts. This real-time monitoring means your business can promptly identify emerging trends as they unfold, providing a competitive edge in responding to market dynamics.

Whether it’s a sudden spike in social media discussions, a shift in consumer sentiment, or a new player making waves in your industry, AI ensures that your trend analysis is not only comprehensive but also up-to-the-minute, allowing your business to stay agile and responsive.

Business benefits of trend monitoring:

  • Identify new opportunities: Uncover trends more accurately and efficiently than with traditional methods.
  • Make better business decisions: Use data-driven insights to make better decisions about marketing strategies and investments.
