What is a chatbot?

A chatbot is a program that holds a conversation with people in text, on a website, in an app or in messaging channels such as WhatsApp and Telegram. A simple chatbot follows a fixed script with buttons; an AI chatbot understands a question written in the customer’s own words.

Why it matters

A chatbot answers the questions your team hears every day, at any hour, and passes the rest to a person. In Kazakhstan the main messenger is WhatsApp, so a bot usually starts there and answers in Russian and Kazakh. The most useful bots are connected to your systems, so they can check an order or book a slot.

1Scripted or AIScripted bots follow buttons and decision trees; AI chatbots use a language model and can handle questions phrased any way.
2Chatbot vs AI agentA chatbot mainly answers; an AI agent also takes actions in your systems, such as changing a booking.
3Handover to a personA good bot knows when to stop and passes the conversation, with its history, to a member of staff.
ExampleCustomers of a group of dental clinics in Shymkent ask the same things every day: opening hours, prices and free slots. A chatbot on the website and WhatsApp answers those, shows real availability from the booking system and books the appointment. Questions about treatment go to the front desk.
