To ensure the security of your chatbot, you can configure its Visibility and IP/Domain settings as follows:

  1. For personal use, set the Visibility to Private.

  2. If you intend to share your chatbot with others, set the Visibility to Public. Additionally, you can specify the IP Addresses of users who can access your chatbot if necessary.

  3. If you plan to embed the chatbot as a widget on a website or as an H5 page within an app, you can set the allowed Domains and IP Addresses for chatbot access.

User cases

Website customer support

Here is the data displayed on Google search regarding how long can website customer wait for response:

41% of consumers expect an email response within 6 hours of sending their request, while only 21% see one business day as an acceptable waiting time. Of customers using an online platform, 71% expect live assistance within 5 minutes of attempted contact.

While not entirely precise, these figures still highlight potential issues. Customers might leave because they did not receive a timely response.

Indeed, it would be great if the website had an AI chatbot that could automatically answer user questions based on their professional docs and provide support by leaving their contact information so you can follow up later. With the advancement of AI technology, we can address customer inquiries more effectively and efficiently, enhancing website user experience while improving efficiency and reducing costs. It can also increase the conversion rate to help the website gain more orders.

While we are still in the early days of using AI in the workplace, chatbots can serve as powerful tools to enhance various aspects of your professional life, from team communication to career development. Specific use cases include internal knowledge retrieval within organizations, involving HR, administration, finance, legal, and other functional departments.

You can bring the power of chatbots to your team by integrating it into Slack, Telegram, or other tools for internal Q&A or as a personal assistant.

This significantly boosts their work efficiency, saving them from the hassle of repeating explanations over and over to colleagues.
