        "description": "Last year the British Council led 9M new users to the English Online website. Users take longer to make their decision: While we are increasing conversion rate to transactions through A/B testing, we have seen an increase in time in which the users decide to purchase. Different cultures, different needs: We also concluded onsite surveys to understand what information users need and to adapt content accordingly. We realised that depending on where users are from, they might need different information on the website. Best practice is to provide language pages and using a chatbot to personalise information they need to make their decision (provide answers to different questions).Lack of attention: The attention span of a user has dropped down to 8 seconds and they are looking for quick answers to their questions.Quick solutions: In today's fast-paced digital environment, customers expect quick response to their questions. They do not really look at the FAQ pages (don’t look around to search for an answer) but rather want to be presented with an answer as quickly as possible. If they don’t, they move on to the competition.Therefore we are looking at how we can use AI powered Chatbots which can handle multiple inquiries simultaneously and allows for scalability. With personalized recommendations and responses based on user data and behaviour, to enhance overall customer experience.
