Multichannel Customer Support
Taking the help of natural language processing (NLP), we developed a responsive, AI-driven chatbot that interacts with customers. It delivered instant answers to customer queries related to product information, store locations, features, and order status.
Seamless IoT Integration
With cloud-based APIs, MQTT, and AWS IoT Core, we connected the chatbot with smart home devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air purifiers. This integration allowed the custom bot to offer personalized, device-specific assistance.
Context-Aware Recommendations
We made the chatbot capable of delivering tailored support for customers. For example, if the customer's air purifier was not functioning correctly, the bot could check the filter status using IoT and suggest its replacement.
Unified Dashboard and Analytics for Admins
We made an admin dashboard for usage stats, customer satisfaction ratings, and common device issues. This information was helpful for the support and operations teams to track trends, anticipate support needs, and make informed decisions.
