1. What is the difference between live chat and AI-powered virtual agents?
AI-powered virtual agents excel at handling routine IT issues like password resets and ticket status inquiries, providing instant, round-the-clock support.
In contrast, live chats connect users with IT experts who can manage complex technical issues with nuanced, real-time conversations. Human agents deliver thoughtful, tailored support, responses, escalate cases, and provide human empathy, ensuring seamless expert handoffs when needed.
For the best support experience, organizations can combine virtual agents with live chat—leveraging AI for efficiency and human expertise for high-touch IT issues.
