SAP Conversational AI was a platform used to build chatbots and digital assistants in SAP integration. Starting January 2023, SAP Conversational AI, SAP’s chatbot building platform has been set to maintenance mode. Existing customers can continue to use the enterprise edition of the product until the end of their contract.
I find it to be the best resource for scheduling calls with clients. Specifically when the call includes multiple people using Salesloft, it's so simple and easy to use to send open times to client and then to be able to send active links to the client where with one click the calendar invite shows up on my calendar? it's the best most efficient tool I have in my toolbelt at the moment. When it comes to logging, it's also simple but I wish I could add a contact to SL from the Microsoft integration.
It would be most suitable to help you attain swift conversation flows as you engage with your audiences. The bots are also of indispensable value in handling repetitive tasks around the firm such as automated HR resourcing expeditions or marketing campaigns or any other important but monotonous tasks. I however admit that analyzing the bot's performance is quite complex, have an RPA specialist around.
SAP Conversational AI in addition to providing the chatbot features also integrates bot analytics without the need for much setup/deployment work.
It is possible to code SAP Conversational AI chatbot in multiple coding languages (Node.js, Python, PHP, iOS, etc.) that makes it easy both implement as well as integrate with existing IT stacks (eg. Analytics, AI, Databases).
SAP Conversational AI is easy to implement and get it running especially if you are already using SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
The inbound dialer. I don't particularly like having to open a second window just for inbound calls. Especially if I forget to close it during a meeting and get interrupted.
The texting interface. I can have emails templated, to fill fields pulled from the lead profile, like name, company, positions, etc. I would like the same functionality for texting, especially since I send as many texts as I do emails. Even being able to save snippets or templates would be nice.
On the note of texting, having a dedicated tab in the People view for text messages would do a lot to let me catch up on other people's conversations with the lead, instead of having to find them on the main Activity tab.
Documentation update. Some of the very nice tutorials and docs seem outdated or not SAP-branded, which can be confusing
Fallback channels. The intercom fallback channel has an important lack of speed, and the SAP fallback channel seems complicated to implement in a product development sprint
SalesLoft is absolutely VITAL to our daily operations. We could not function without it or a program like it. Speaking as a Sales Person who has had to operate without a product like this, the difference is night and day. The ability to stay organized, automate tasks, easily log activities and notes, review calls, and coach team members is an absolute gamechanger.
Drift was extremely easy for both our demand gen team and SDR to jump right into. It was feature rich and purpose-built for marketers—it was remarkably easy to connect our marketing automation, CRM, and more to the platform and get everything to work together. Now the ability to create digital experiences and conversation landing pages is democratized—empowering our team to do better work and provide better prospect/customer experience.
Chatbots have already acquired most of the market and are still trending with the needs of changing market everyday. It will keep evolving with AI and NLP more to offer for improvements. SAP CAI is a good product to add to an enterprise using SAP ERP Suite
The availability is pretty good, we do sometimes have errors or delays in syncing activities but nothing that has been too detrimental to our workflow. Most recently we had an issue with Lofting through Outlook due to a change in security token that took a few weeks to resolve but it is fixed now.
Never had an issue. SAP CAI shares the same platform as any other product hosted on SAP Cloud Platform (aka BTP) and depends on your hosting (US, Europe, Asia). Maintenance modes are planned and customers are aware of it well in advance in order to mitigate potential impacts on the service offering.
Yes timely and easy to use. The only delays we have are when we run our big month sales blitz and activities take some time to sync to the reporting as well as SalesForce
It's a pure SaaS platform hosted on SAP Cloud Platform (aka BTP). The experience is pretty much seamless with minimum loadings or noticeable lags. The hosting depends on your location so you may want to make sure the instance is available on a server close to you, such as the USA, Europe or Asia.
The support team was very responsive but at the end of the day they took a long time to fix our issue. The issue did get fixed, though, so that is what matters. Very nice people who are there to help in any way they can.
Great support from the people of SAP Conversational AI as of the community. Sometimes it takes a little while for folks of the SAP Conversational AI team to answer but this has mostly to do with the overload of questions and users the product has. The gold-support channel within Slack that SAP Conversational AI has, is a great help to distinguish more professional usage and therefore more urgent questions.
We had some virtual training with our CSM which was very well constructed. It took some time to get into the full swing of things but with a few weeks of hands on experience I was feeling confidant. The SL team was always available to answer questions or jump an a call to walk us through stuff. I also used the Customer Help Center for a few self guided learnings on how to use specific features related to reporting and team management.
Salesloft Rhythm (BDR/SDR home screen) provides a landing page where all the prioritized work is queued for immediate execution. The UX is clean and the only other elements is a stream of activity indicating prospects interacting with content (e.g. clicking a link in an email). My experience with other tools was that their "home" pages had a dozen icons and it was confusion for someone new to the platform to figure out where to go to work on the next item.
SAP Conversational AI has been a great help in analyzing common errors in data processing and analytics. It is important to understand scenarios that apply in this situation as information is constantly being gathered, which is where SAP Conversational AI is able to help provide common issues to be resolved. Data-driven and AI responding is the future of software analysis.
Seen a 200% increase in productivity from our SDR team.
We now have robust data about when the best times to call are and can focus our power hours around those.
We now have an audit history around our emails sent and can dive in and make small changes to templates and snippets to continuously increase our open and click rates.
The impact has been very positive for our business objectives. Through the chatbot, our clients can have an immediate response to any of their requests without the need of an intervention of a person or without the use of the telephone or email. Customer satisfaction has been much higher.
