BOTTER is sold in 2 model: Active Users (AU) model and 24-HR Conversations model.
An active user is a person who uses the bot services once, twice, or many times during a period of 30 consecutive days, through a given media (for example, Facebook Messenger).
In a 24-hr conversation, a user uses the bot services once, twice, or many times during a period of 24 hours window frame, through a given media (for example, Facebook Messenger).
We identify users by their identification method for a given channel. For example, in WhatsApp or Telegram, we use the phone number, in FB messenger, we use the Facebook ID, and for the web chat, we use browser cookies.
No, there is no limitation on how many messages one user can send in the interaction, as well as on how many interactions can be made within 30 consecutive days or 24 hours window.
The BOTTER’s AU/CV packages are indeed fully inclusive of NLP engine, technical support, hosting fees and WhatsApp inbound fees. This allows you to have one all-inclusive contract rather than maintaining several contracts with different service providers.
No, the bot service will continue working and we will notify you. If you keep exceeding your package by more than 10% over several months in a row, we may ask you to upgrade your service to a higher package.
NLP stands for Natural Language Processing and is a function that BOTTER platform uses to understand the sentences in human language and to map these sentences to the function BOTTER can perform. For example the phrase “I would like to fly to Amsterdam” will activate the ticket booking function of the bot and the phrase “I would like to see a doctor” means the bot will help the consumer to schedule an appointment with a doctor.
Intent is the meaning of the phrase in natural human language mapped to a function a bot can perform or to the question the bot is trained to answer. For example, if a consumer types something like “I need to know how much cash I have” or “Can I get my account balance” or “Show me my balance” – all these 3 phrases effectively mean the same intent – the “account balance” – a function that a banking bot is typically trained to answer.
BOTTER can recognize human-like sentences in multiple languages including English, French, German, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and many more. The list is growing so please feel free to ask if you need a certain language to be supported.
We normally train the NLP function to understand the intent (this is what your consumer wants to do) with at least 70-80% accuracy when BOTTER is launched to production. The BOTTER keeps learning and as more and more consumers use it, you will be able to easily train BOTTER to understand your customers in 90% of cases.
BOTTER offers you graphical user interface to train the NLP models. There, you can see the human phrases which the bot did not recognize and map these phrases to the known intents. This means BOTTER will understand the human language better and better as time goes.

It depends on the complexity of the self services and the number of questions you want the chatbot to answer. A basic working bot capable of answering a few questions can take 5-7 days to build, test and deploy on your website. Complex projects may easily take 2-4 months to complete. We usually recommend starting with a few simple flows and adding more functions in subsequent phases rather than trying to build a complex solution one-shot.
Multiple advantages are depending on the industry and the use case. Common advantages are that BOTTER can work 24/7 and the cost per customer service request is typically 4-8 times less if you use the BOTTER. Even if the interaction is later transferred to the agent, BOTTER can automate the initial information gathering and transfer the data to the agents thus helping humans serving the customer quicker.
