Virtual assistants have transformed employee self-service but still need better intent handling
The best features Accenture Conversational AI offers include consistently delivering great, steady, reliable data and predictable responses for automated tasks, as well as having instant support that provides 24/7 immediate answers to repetitive queries, which frees up our human employees. The reliability and instant support of Accenture Conversational AI have made a difference in my day-to-day work by freeing up our human agents, enabling them to focus on more interactive tasks that are more complex instead of repeating the same things over the course of the day, adding more engagement to their day and making their work more inviting. One feature that stands out and I appreciate is that this platform is versatile, definitely streamlining diverse workflows ranging from what we have on our client end for engagement all the way to data troubleshooting.

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.

Cons

"The only thing that I have seen with Accenture Conversational AI is that for long-term operations, it becomes a little bit more expensive."
"One area that could improve is ease of debugging complex conversation flows."
"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."
"Accenture Conversational AI's customer service team has been helpful at some points, but I give them a rating of seven out of ten because there were times we contacted them and did not get a response, even though we were in need of quick support."
"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."
"I think Accenture Conversational AI can be improved by addressing query misclassification, as there are unclear user phrasings that can sometimes cause the system to misclassify intents unless you spend a lot of time extensively optimizing it."
"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."
"Sometimes it stays in the pending part and it might not get approval from the Meta side, so that is one thing which needs to be improved."
"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."
"My feedback regarding Gupshup is that during the DLT setting of IDs in the SMS and WhatsApp section, whatever is written in the portal has to be precise."
"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."
"I think their customer support needs to be improved as they have a very slow response time and lack local support, especially in Indonesia."
"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."
