Description
How can your business maintain vital human connection with your clients when you’re already stretched thin? In this episode of the ROI Online Podcast, Founder of TextChat Eric Kades talks about Chatbots and AI and how they relate to conversational interfaces–whether it’s customer support, service, or sales.
Eric is an entrepreneur, he’s the founder of TextChat—a revolutionary live chat software for small businesses that is highly personalized and brings the timeless touch of human connection to the sophistication of AI technology.
