The document scanner built by our engineering team here at Kommunicate is powered by ChatGPT, and it does a marvelous job of converting your document into a chatbot.

Before we get into the details of how you can use the document scanner, let us see why enterprises need a document to chatbot transformation

Why Do Enterprises Need a Document to Chatbot Transformation?

 A survey conducted by Gartner, which said that 70% of knowledge workers will interact with chatbots on a daily basis by 2022.  Research from IBM also indicates that chatbots can handle upto 80% of routine customer service enquiries, which can have a significant impact on operational costs. 

With ChatGPT, it is now possible to convert documents, manuals, FAQs and other textual resources into chatbot interactions, which will make information readily available. Users will be able to find information faster, without having to sift through lengthy documents.

Customer service agents will also have an easier time if documents are converted into chatbots, since it will reduce their workload significantly. These AI chatbots can instantly retrieve information from documents and deliver it to users, freeing up human agents time to focus on complex tasks.

Benefits of ChatGPT Powered Document Chatbots

  1. Cut costs and improve efficiency: The average reading speed of an American adult is 200 to 300 Words per Minute, a single spaced word being 500 words long. Now a chatbot can read this document instantaneously, and also remember everything on the document for a longer period of time. Not only does this improve efficiency, it also adds to the bottom line in the form of countless man hours saved.
  1. Enhance data accuracy: With humans entering data into a system, there is always a possibility of an error creeping in through a wide variety of factors such as fatigue, typos and misinterpretations. These shortcomings can be entirely eliminated if you use a chatbot. Also, chatbots can be programmed with validation rules to identify inconsistencies within the data.
  1. User experience is enhanced: Chatbots enhance user experience by giving them the ability to access documents from anywhere, anytime and from any device. Customers don’t have to wait for a human agent to get assistance, and a chatbot also reduces frustration by automating repetitive tasks for the agents. 
  1. Better accessibility: A chatbot’s interface is user-friendly, and people can easily communicate their needs to a chatbot, irrespective of their technical knowledge. There is no need for complex navigation through menus and software, making the document scanning feature accessible to all employees. The multilingual nature of chatbots also means that chatbots can cater to a diverse workforce.
  1. Boost productivity: In a report by the Everest Group, it was found that companies that implement a chatbot for document processing experience a 30% reduction in processing time, which results in faster turnaround times and increased efficiency for the organization. Chatbots reduce workload, alleviate stress, and offer a more efficient way to scan documents. This makes employees more productive by letting them focus on career development and growth.

Let us now see how your enterprise can actually use Kommunicate’s new document scanner to make use of all the advantages we have listed above.
