3. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

A study by Gartner states that chatbots would deliver $8 billion in cost savings by the end of 2022. In this era, the integration of chatbots in mobile apps would shift from a luxury to a necessity.

With 80 percent of the businesses expected to use chatbots by the end of 2020 and the users expecting a better app experience, integration of the chatbots is the real business opportunity to integrate a chatbot to your enterprise’s mobile app.
