AI can answer customers at 10pm. But should it be allowed to answer everything?

For many small businesses, an AI chatbot sounds useful until the bigger questions start coming up:

• Does it actually sound like us?
• Where is customer data stored?
• Can we see what it has told people?
• What happens when it gets an answer wrong?
• Can a real person step in when needed?

The right chatbot should not feel like a mysterious widget bolted onto your website. It should work alongside your website, CRM and existing processes, with clear rules and human oversight.

If you’re considering adding AI chat before the busy autumn and Christmas period, our latest article looks at what to check before choosing a platform, how to avoid losing control, and how to introduce it gradually rather than simply switching it on and hoping for the best.

I’m taking on a charity trek to raise as much as possible for Alzheimer’s Society, a cause that means a great deal to me and so many others.

Last year, thanks to your incredible kindness, I raised over £1000 — and this year, I’m determined to go even further.

Alzheimer’s Society are working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. They support those living with dementia today while funding vital research and campaigning for real change for the future.

Every step of this trek will help bring hope, support, and progress.

If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean so much.

Together, we can make a real difference.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
Phil
