The most common complaint we hear when we ask people about their experience with chatbots is “they suck because they always make mistakes.”  This is undoubtedly true. We’ve all interacted with at least one chatbot that has said “sorry I can’t answer that question yet.”

But what if I told you that these sorts of errors are actually a good thing!

A few weeks back I spoke with Shane Mac, SVP of Marketing and Partnerships at Conversocial, and Shane introduced me to the idea of using “errors as intelligence.”

The basic logic goes something like this. Errors are basically your customers’ way of telling you what services you should offer. Every time your chatbot fails to give them what they want, that’s your bot telling you what you should include for the next customer.

Cool insight huh?
