IBM watsonx Assistant Overview

What is IBM watsonx Assistant?

IBM watsonx Assistant (Formerly Watson Assistant) is a market-leading enterprise conversational AI platform that allows you to build intelligent virtual and voice assistants that can provide customers with fast, consistent and accurate answers across any messaging platform, application, device or channel. Using artificial intelligence and large language models, watsonx Assistant learns from customer conversations, improving its ability to resolve issues the first time while removing the frustration of long wait times, tedious searches and unhelpful chatbots. Most chatbots try to mimic human interactions, frustrating customers when a misunderstanding arises. IBM watsonx Assistant is more than a chatbot. It knows when to search for an answer from a knowledge base, when to ask for clarity and when to direct users to a human agent for more assistance. And since it can be deployed in any cloud or on-premises environment – smarter AI is finally available wherever you need it.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

There is no shortage of chatbot and virtual agent options available. But having an effective conversational AI platform is about not only improving the customer interaction experience, but also reducing costs to justify the investment. IBM watsonx Assistant achieves both. We recently worked with Forrester to study the quantifiable benefits of watsonx Assistant and the results highlight just how much value it can deliver – both to your customers as well as to your organization. The Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) report showed that IBM watsonx Assistant cut costs, drove revenue, and freed precious resources for higher value work – all while improving customer NPS. Some benefits include: $24 million in benefits over three years, 337% ROI and cost savings of $5.50 per contained customer conversation.

What do you like best about IBM watsonx Assistant?

I love how well integrated IBM watsonx Assistant is with everything we already have up and running. It’s impressive on the natural language processing front, and making our customer service more responsive and the user more intuitive. We linked it with our CRM and other communication methods, so that customer queries are automatically recorded and turn arounds for replies are quick. It has significantly cut down the response times and boosted production all around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM watsonx Assistant?

Despite the strength of IBM watsonx Assistant, its degree of flexibility and available settings is exceptional. The configuration of the custom features in addition to designing specific work flows was not as easy as we originally expected, which caused some initial issues in getting everything up and in the proper running order. Despite the opportunities of the support resources, we still required more time to tailor the system until it best fitted us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM watsonx Assistant solving and how is that benefiting you?

IBM watsonx Assistant helps our team to free up time and not work on redundant tasks that are always done when dealing with customers through normal emails, chats or calls. One of them addresses the problem of working with large amounts of requests that come in on a daily basis and guarantees that even during rush hours, the requests are processed properly without requiring additional staff to be hired. This has enhanced our general working order and reaction rates on the numerous surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
