<translate>= Bot / Chat Suggestions Engine Integration = Bright Pattern integrates with chatbots to provide meaningful suggestions to an agent during a chat session and to provide pure bot functionality, in which customers can complete self-service tasks without the help of a live agent. This functionality is enabled through a bot/chat suggestions engine integration account. Integration accounts are what allow your contact center to operate with third-party services.
This version of Bright Pattern Contact Center supports the following types of bot/chat integration: Alterra and Watson Conversation.
