The story of chatbots for the enterprise is an evolving one, but as advancements in [natural language processing](https://kore.ai/bots-platform/natural-language-processing/), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) capabilities continue to collide with the way we interact with apps, devices, websites, etc., chatbots will continue to play a vital role in the next wave of digital disruption. And, to quiet some of the skepticism, we’ve got some statistics to prove it. ### **Why do enterprises need Conversational AI and chatbots** In short, it becomes too inconvenient, too complex, and too impersonal to get work done and do business with the abundance of enterprise and consumer technology. Technology has been designed to help humans, and in some cases it absolutely does, but the problem is, technologies compound on each other, and are not always user friendly, and don’t always integrate seamlessly. The result? [Communication chaos](https://info.kore.ai/wp-communication-chaos), and billions of dollars lost in productivity across industries, suffering customer service, and more. - IDC research shows in 2019 enterprises will spend $2.1 trillion on technology services to implement and manage digital transformation initiatives. - According to [ServiceNow](https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow/documents/whitepapers/sn-state-of-work-report.pdf), productivity drain on internal functions is costing U.S. companies 2 days per week on administrative tasks which equal to $575 billion per year, or the equivalent of 3.3% of the national GDP. The same survey found that 8 in 10 companies still use unstructured manual tools such as email, spreadsheets, and even personal visits to drive routine processes. - According to Salesforce, 42% of service agents are unable to efficiently resolve customer issues due to disconnected systems, archaic user interfaces, and multiple applications. - According to a 2016 survey by NewVoiceMedia, [published by Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/shephyken/2016/08/27/bad-customer-service-costs-businesses-billions-of-dollars/#6a7fbbe65152), businesses are losing $62 billion per year through poor customer service, up $20 billion since 2013. | ###### Also Read: [How AI is Transforming Enterprise Software Applications](https://blog.kore.ai/how-ai-is-transforming-enterprise-software-applications) | | --- |  ![Natural-Language-Processing-Voice](https://blog.kore.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Natural-Language-Processing-Voice.jpg?width=600&name=Natural-Language-Processing-Voice.jpg) ### **The technological wave is moving toward [conversational UI](https://info.kore.ai/wp-conversational-commerce)** Obviously, there is plenty of evidence to justify that the app era has reached a point of diminishing returns, but there’s arguably even more evidence that points to not just a shift in the types of technological solutions businesses and consumers invest in, but the way we interface in general with our technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) is moving rapidly toward conversational (talk and text), or natural language interfaces, because it’s simply the preferred way we all communicate now. People are already using text and talk functionality in various ways at work and at home, and adopting it at rates far higher than app adoption and other traditional communication. So it’s only “natural” to assume our tech should mirror life. - Humans can speak 150 words per minute vs. type 40 words per minute. - 98% of iPhone users have used Siri, and Amazon sold 4.4 million Echo units in its first full year of sales. - According to Search Engine Watch, Google voice search queries in 2016 were up 35x since 2008. - According to eMarketer, messaging apps were used by over 1.4 billion people worldwide in 2015, and is expected to hit 2 billion by 2018. - According to Business Insider, the average millennial exchanges 67 texts per day. - In an [Eweek survey](http://www.eweek.com/small-business/businesses-texting-grows-more-widespread), 80% of respondents use text for business, and 15% said more than half of their messages are for business purposes. | ###### Also Read: [How AI Enabled Chatbots are Fueling the Growth of Conversational Commerce](https://blog.kore.ai/how-ai-enabled-chatbots-are-fueling-the-growth-of-conversational-commerce) | | --- | ### **The arrival of AI chatbots** The convergence of all of these factors has led to a bot boom at the beginning of 2016, and it’s only picked up steam in 2017.
