Digital Greeter

What is Digital Greeter

The Digital Greeter is intended to improve the first interaction a customer has with your brand by helping them find what they’re looking for and understanding how they feel before engaging with your brand.

The Digital Greeter includes a pre-filled Digital DNA Studio project template with a standardized greeting via the Greeter Base skill along with the Knowledge Base Skill which will allow you to have the Digital Person answer commonly asked questions about your services, products, or company.

You do not need an NLP platform integration to use the Digital Greeter.

Create JSON for Knowledge Base Skill.
