Innovation has enabled the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into bot programming, making them increasingly human. Let’s explore how they can simplify our lives at work.
How does a bot work?
Bots are composed of sets of complex algorithms. The bot’s function is programmed from the ground up to define the process it will intervene in, when, and how. Once these aspects are defined, our bot will autonomously perform the assigned task, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why should a company evaluate a bot?
The answer is very simple: bots save time and money. Their strength is speed and efficiency, which helps companies that employ this technology free up resources by shifting people from boring and repetitive tasks to conceptual activities that require more skills. There are several fields of application that can be considered for bot use, which we will discuss in future articles.
What types of bots are there?
The primary goal of developing a bot is to help users simplify their work or provide a useful service in real time that would be impossible without human intervention alone.
Here are some of the most well-known bots:
CRAWLER OR SPIDER
Known as web crawlers or search engine bots, they scan web pages to index or classify them. They are used by major search engines like Google and Bing.
MONITORING BOT
This is a monitoring bot. It can have various functions; its programming allows 24-hour performance monitoring of websites, programs, and production workflows, providing real-time alerts of any problems.
SHOP BOT
How long would it take you to find the best price for a product? It would be too long without Shop Bot. In just a few seconds, it scours the web for information to offer based on your search queries. We often don’t realize it, but the technology that powers the flight and hotel portal was born from the tireless work of Shop Bot.
MARKETING BOT
Very useful in advertising. It monitors ads, relevant keywords, customer reviews, and comments. It collects real-time market data, even on a large scale, to simplify marketers’ work.
In addition to these types of bots, programming can be customized to your business needs, starting with a simple copy and paste. Explore all the fields of application and receive personalized advice based on your business needs.
