Factors Affecting the Growth of the Live Chat Software Industry:

• AI-Powered Chatbots Rising

Live chat options are increasingly integrating AI-powered chatbots which give agents intelligent and instant responses and cut customer service costs. AI assistants provide answers to common or repetitive questions and these smart assistants are always available, reducing time consumption while improving efficiency and customer experience. I talk to companies and I hear how they use smart assistants to scale their support while keeping their employees happy as they can cut waiting time and handle further complex queries. I believe that an ever-evolving world of natural language processing are helping assist humans’ slow move toward seamless interaction, where bot and human support have no distinction. This will see the vendors to continue to invest in building customizable and learning bots as AI is swiftly becoming an integral part of many chat solutions.

• Omnichannel Support Demand

Customers not only want to move from live chats to emails to using social media with little interruption, which has made omnichannel capabilities ever more vital, but they also want an option that allows them to aggregate their conversations across channels into one platform or dashboard. This illustrates the growing trend of wanting more contextualized and consistently supported experiences. The baby software vendors were particularly quick to react and develop integrations with CRMs and helpdesk systems for agents to personalize and improve on efficient service regardless of the mode of communications used.

• Proactive Engagement Shift

Organizations are moving from a reactive view of live chat to a proactive one using behavioral triggers to initiate conversations. There are several companies now that track behaviors, such as patterns of clicking, so that intervention can be suggested at an appropriate time, which reduces cart abandonment and increases conversations - ultimately leading to better customer experience and potentially create upsell opportunities. Vendors themselves have increasingly focused on predictive analytics and automation to help define their targeting strategies and inform an ever-importance proactive service and response (essentially based on analytics) as part of their competitive differentiator in a customer service initiative.
