Automating first-line support (FAQ)\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Up to 70% of requests in any company are the same questions: \"What are your hours?\", \"Where's the price list?\", \"How do I get to you?\", \"Is this item in stock?\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>How the bot solves it:\u003C\u002Fstrong> it instantly provides the needed info at any time of day.

Taking orders and payment right in the messenger\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The customer no longer needs to go to third-party sites.
