More and more service businesses are deciding to add AI assistants to their websites. It's a trend driven by the concrete benefits an AI assistant brings to service companies. In this article we explain why service businesses add AI assistants and what benefits it brings.

Rising customer expectations

Customers of service businesses have ever-higher expectations of service. They want fast answers, availability and convenience. Service businesses have to meet these expectations to stay competitive.

Customers expect fast answers and availability. Companies that don't meet these expectations lose customers to competitors.

An AI assistant helps service businesses meet these expectations by providing fast, available service.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't AI less effective in services than in a store?

It's effective differently. In a store AI leads to a purchase right away. In services it leads to contact — a call, a proposal, a meeting. We measure effectiveness not by direct sales but by the number and quality of enquiries. On that measure AI in services often performs even better than in e-commerce, because service customers need a conversation before deciding.

Which service businesses gain most from AI?

Those with high site traffic and a long customer decision cycle: law firms, tax advisers, construction companies, marketing agencies, installers, specialist mechanics. They all share one thing: the customer has many questions before choosing and often doesn't write unless they get a fast answer.

Is deploying AI in services more expensive than in e-commerce?

No. The deployment cost is comparable, because it depends more on the scope of content and scenarios than on the industry. Services often have a simpler deployment than a large e-commerce with thousands of products — less data to process, simpler scenarios. In practice deployment for a service business is often faster and cheaper than for a store of comparable scale.
