Frequently Asked Questions

What does chatbot conversation design involve?

It covers the structure of a chatbot's dialogue: the conversation flow, the wording of scripts and prompts, and the paths a user can take toward a resolution. It also includes decisions about fallbacks, handovers, and how the assistant sounds in line with a brand's voice.

How is chatbot performance measured?

Common measures include engagement and conversation completion, conversion rates, and the return on investment of the deployment. Conversation analytics show where users drop out or repeat themselves, which points to the flows and scripts that need rework.

Why do chatbots produce inaccurate answers?

Hallucinations often trace back to an incomplete or poorly structured knowledge base, so the assistant has no grounded source for a question it is asked. Curating the source content and defining clear fallback behaviour for unknown queries reduces the problem.
