Here are 5 cool features of chatbots that can change our services industry

Messaging bots have been a feature included into Facebook Messenger for quite some time now. The technology is being implemented by everyone in the industry, from Facebook to Microsoft. But in India, things seem to be going at a slow pace in spite of the fact that we have many devices being used.

So what is a bot? And how can it change the way we interact with every service we have access to? Let's find out.

Bot Basic

A bot enables real-time interaction with the Web sources. It helps a user to send commands to a service provider without accessing their portal. All the functions are just a command away, and the bot relays the message through encrypted platforms. The chatbot does not actually access the service, but only contacts the service provider.

Banking simplified

Through chatbots, every user can easily send and receive money, or check their account balances with just a message. Since there is no direct access to your accounts, the chatbot sends your request to the bank employees.
