What’s the difference between rule-based bots and AI-powered bots?
Rule-based bots operate on predefined scripts and decision trees, responding only to exact keywords or fixed triggers. In contrast, AI-powered bots use natural language understanding and machine learning to adapt to customer input, learn from interactions, and deliver more dynamic, human-like conversations.

Follow static, pre-programmed scripts with limited flexibility
Require exact matches to keywords or phrases
Cannot adapt to unexpected queries outside their programmed logic
Offer consistent but rigid customer support experiences
