Channels

A channel connects communication applications to a virtual agent. It's where the interaction with the user will take place (WhatsApp, Web, Facebook, etc.). Learn how to connect them.

Syntphony CAI has integration with several types of channels, in the categories: smart speakers, social robots, smart assistants, messaging platforms, synthetic reality, mobile, tablet, desktop, cognitive contact center.

The solution also allows the same virtual agent to integrate with multiple channels.

And in order to improve the virtual agent's personality, it is possible to configure the virtual agent's responses for each of the channels created.

Thus, the answer can have a template (image, video, carousel, etc) that only that channel makes available, or a language directed to that channel.

But remember: to integrate multiple channels to a same virtual agent, it's important that the channels share the same knowledge base and objective. In addition, the way the users interact on each channel should also be similar.
