M-i-t-c-h Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 you do understand that the answers are automated messages. The program takes every word in your sentence works out what you want and answers you. Just notifys "operators" when it cant answer questions or flags the convo if its unsure if it answered correctly. So you just asked a computer if it could sell you a blowjob. You are coooool.....

You are coooool.....Nope. Most are actual operators on the other end, it's just there are pre-defined responses that an operator can use.

M-i-t-c-h Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 incorrect, they are canned responses. I have used "liveperson" and that's what they do. You can have your own operators, but most of the work is done by computer. I use chat4support (which is more what your talking about) atm because liveperson is stupidly expensive. If you go on the site at 10pm tonight there will still be someone there..... do you think there is actually someone there at 10pm, or infact now at 7.15pm?

Hendrix Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) I've been asking for the last 15 minutes, how much electricity do their servers use. He doesn't know and is refusing to ask someone else.Darn you computer. Edited September 6, 2008 by Hendrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used a few of them before and they were instantly operators, and you'll see on alot of times on sites when it's out of office hours their Live Support will be offline.I'm currently implementing Kayako's LiveResponse into my site, and there's no way I'd use a fully (or even semi) automatic chat. But I'll concede there are automated systems out there, however in most sectors they'll be in the minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
