The technology that powers automated chatbots typically involves artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. Chatbots use AI algorithms to understand and generate human-like responses to user queries. NLP enables them to comprehend context, intent, and sentiment from the user's input, allowing for meaningful interactions. Advanced chatbots can learn from previous conversations to improve their responses over time. These technologies are applied in customer service, virtual assistants, and various applications, enhancing user interaction and automating routine tasks efficiently.
