There's no arguing that immediate and personalized communication between your brand and customers is essential to an outstanding customer experience. One way in which this can be achieved is by adding a chatbot to your Wix site.

A chatbot is a software that simulates basic human conversation by means of text or voice. Chatbots can be used to deal with the simple parts of a conversation that don't require a person. By using a chatbot, you can reduce overhead costs, provide better customer service through immediate responses, and save time by understanding the core of your client's issue.

Luckily, a chatbot can be set up on your Wix website with a few simple steps.
