Botco.ai Launches BotcoLive, Combining AI Chat and Live Agent Support to Maximize Marketing Contact Resolution

American Family Care, the leading Urgent Care Franchise, to deploy BotcoLive to deliver seamless marketing engagement

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 01, 2021

Botco.ai (http://www.botco.ai), the leading HIPAA-compliant conversational marketing solution, announced today the launch of BotcoLive, a new platform feature that hands over automated chat conversations to live agents when a visitor hits key milestones. Working in tandem with Botco.ai’s intelligent chat technology solution, BotcoLive allows healthcare providers to accelerate their lead qualification process and drive more conversions. The company also announced that American Family Care (AFC), the nation’s leading provider of urgent care and accessible primary care, will be an early adopter of the technology and go live with BotcoLive later this year.

“For many organizations, giving their clients the attention they deserve isn’t possible at scale,” said Jacob Molina, Product Manager at Botco.ai. “Using intelligent and conversational chat algorithms, our technology can handle a high volume of inbound questions with machine speed and human care. With the release of BotcoLive, conversations can transition from AI chat to live agent without any friction. This ensures a company’s customers are in touch with the right point of contact within the organization to carry them through the rest of the conversion process.”

BotcoLive picks up right where automated chat leaves off. As soon as a customer asks to speak with a person, the conversation is queued in the chat dashboard. From there, an agent can respond directly, route the conversation to a more appropriate team member, or prioritize it for follow-up. The dashboard also provides relevant context for each interaction and allows users to make internal notes on the conversation.

“Our mission has always been to make high-quality healthcare as accessible as possible,” said Sean Hart, Vice President, Franchise Development, AFC Franchising. “When COVID-19 hit, we needed a way to quickly and efficiently answer hundreds of questions coming into our website. Botco.ai’s chat technology has dramatically improved our team’s efficiency by helping us answer our customers’ questions instantly. BotcoLive is the next step in improving our response, allowing us to rapidly complete the conversion process by connecting automated chat to human follow-up at just the right time. The platform will help us achieve our mission even in the most challenging circumstances.”

BotcoLive helps organizations support their customers by providing:

  • Seamless conversation flow: Customers experience a fluid transition between intelligent chat and talking with a live agent, creating a smooth interaction
  • Full chat support: An intuitive chatting interface is supported by rich contextual data on each conversation so agents can respond quickly and accurately
  • Workload management: Agents can easily prioritize urgent conversations, direct conversations to the right team member, and manage work schedules.

American Family Care expects to incorporate BotcoLive in Q4 2021. For more information on BotcoLive and Botco.ai’s intelligent chat technology, visit https://botco.ai/product/.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
