Pranay Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior software engineer at Simplifyvms
Automation has reduced repetitive hiring queries and improves candidate support efficiency
Training and refining the intent recognition on Accenture Conversational AI has not been straightforward, as we needed extensive data for training the AI chatbot and faced a learning curve in managing diverse candidate queries during the implementation process. Initially, the training was moderately easy thanks to the structured intent and entity setup, and we created various training phrases such as check status and application status. Accenture Conversational AI can be improved due to the initial learning curve for training data, as it sometimes misclassified user queries, especially with varied phrasing, prompting a need to enhance intent recognition accuracy. We diversified training phrases for each intent, improved accuracy through NLU training, and minimized fallback rate for user queries, along with enhancing context handling for better continuity in conversations. On the user experience front, there should be clear, human-readable responses and a user-friendly conversational design to avoid confusion, especially with long and unclear responses that are not beneficial for user interactions.

Partner program has reduced messaging costs and now supports reliable, large scale communication
I believe Gupshup could improve in several areas. Since our partnership involves working at scale for multiple WhatsApp Business API numbers over their infrastructure, I noticed that Gupshup also provides WhatsApp Business API for single consumers, which I saw on their website and documentation. They charge additionally per message or template message on top of the actual WhatsApp Business APIs messaging rate. For example, sending a WhatsApp marketing template costs around $1.50, and Gupshup adds their own service fee per message, around 20 to 30 cents. For a single consumer working at scale and sending thousands of messages daily, this can become concerning. They should implement a solution where it could be a one-off payment instead of per message payment, allowing single consumers to leverage their service better. What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me. Being a tech-focused person, I believe the system we rely on should be totally reliable and the people working on it should be reliable as well.

"Accenture Conversational AI has positively impacted our organization by assisting in advanced orchestration, as it seamlessly translates complex data into natural language patterns instead of rigid charts, helping us to break down complex data into useful units."
"The CSAT score improved from 40% to almost 90%, and the average call handling time has been reduced so that customers save their time on more productive activities instead of just fetching reports from the old systems."
"Gupshup is doing a good job in terms of accuracy and reliability, and they can keep doing so."
"I believe Gupshup has made the process of integrating WhatsApp for customers more agile."
"I believe Gupshup is one of the best services that I have used for sending notifications, and I totally trust it."

"At BookMyShow, I typically achieved delivery rates above 95%, read rates between 60 to 80%, and click-through rates noticeably higher than other comparable tools."
 

Cons

"My advice to others looking into using Accenture Conversational AI is do not use it."
"We started using Accenture Conversational AI, and feature-wise, it is great, but the engineering side of this platform is really heavy, and the cost is very substantial."
"Training and refining the intent recognition on Accenture Conversational AI has not been straightforward, as we needed extensive data for training the AI chatbot and faced a learning curve in managing diverse candidate queries during the implementation process."
"Support is an important aspect here, especially in the African market, as Accenture is not directly present in Kenya, so sometimes online support does not work out because people need the physical presence, requiring a kind of physical touch."
"The only thing that I have seen with Accenture Conversational AI is that for long-term operations, it becomes a little bit more expensive."
"They can improve on training and documentation so that new users can onboard easily; clear training and efficient skill acquisition will help them to navigate this platform quickly and effectively."
"One area that could improve is ease of debugging complex conversation flows."
"What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me."
"Gupshup can be improved in terms of the UI and the design of the particular model."
"I think Gupshup could be improved with online support or WhatsApp support so that we can talk directly with an agent, instead of working only by email."
"The main thing the support team should do is give immediate resolution, not take a day or two or three days."
"If I suggest an improvement, I would desire to see deeper analytics."
"I remember that I was trying to get the webhooks about account information, and I had trouble finding in the documentation how I could receive webhooks about the account, such as when we have an account that could be blocked or when the limit of messages might be erased."
"I would appreciate more granular error code documentation for edge case API delivery failures, deeper out-of-the-box integration with cloud monitoring tools such as AWS CloudWatch or DataDog for native metric scraping, and a more responsive administrative console when querying massive historical message logs."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
