This advanced version of the previous SmartBot offers immediate, localized responses across various platforms, such as Facebook, SMS, SOCi Pages, and local websites, all managed through a single corporate setup.
"SOCi Chat represents a significant leap forward in how multi-location businesses can engage with their customers. By leveraging advanced AI capabilities, we are able to deliver precise, localized responses more efficiently.
