Does your chatbot handle 90% of inquiries? Sounds like a great KPI. But what it really means is that with 90% efficiency, you're missing the opportunity to turn a customer query into a sale, increase loyalty, or solve a problem before it becomes critical.In this episode of Expansion, we explain the fundamental difference between reactive chatbots and proactive AI agents. Using examples from retail and fintech, we show how outdated chatbots create an 'illusion of automation,' while agents autonomously solve complex tasks and directly impact revenue.To help you audit your current automation level, we've prepared a special bonus: "PDF Checklist: Automation Audit: 7 Questions to Determine if Your Business Needs an AI Agent, Not a New Chatbot."
