"Our customers are looking for convenience and responsiveness, and [24]7 Chat offers our customers an easy way to interact with our company. We are considering expanding digital chat to our power and gas business, both for customer support and sales so that we can improve customer experience and agent effectiveness. We are also considering deployment of a chatbot solution to introduce automation into the chat experience."

Because [24]7 Chat uses AI to replicate the effectiveness of a company's best agents, it enables digital self-service that boosts customer satisfaction and conversions while lowering costs.
