Let\u2019s discuss the same below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>i) AI Chatbots:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webkul.com\/blog\/ai-based-smart-chatbot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smart Chatbots<\/a> work as a virtual assistant to a customer. They provide answers in such a way that humans can easily understand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It provides a human-like interaction with the customers. Also nowadays chatbots are becoming multilingual as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant are one of the examples of AI Chatbots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check the example below: I have created a <a href=\"https:\/\/store.webkul.com\/magento2-chatgpt-virtual-assistant.html\">Chatbot in Magento 2<\/a> for my e-commerce website, Now see how accurately it provides the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/AI-chatbot-1200x695.webp\" alt=\"RAG-in-e-commerce-AIchatbot\" class=\"wp-image-435923\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check the video here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wk-block-youtube-video wp-block-wk-block--yt-video components-placeholder\"><div class=\"wk-block--yt-video-frame\"><div class=\"wk-block--yt-video-frame-request\" data-plyr-provider=\"youtube\" data-plyr-embed-id=\"-MBCbyHlCE8\"><div class=\"components-placeholder__instructions\">-MBCbyHlCE8<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ii) NLP to SQL:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NLP (Natural Language Processing) helps to convert the natural language to structured SQL queries. It is quick to retrieve information or Insights from the database.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be used for confidential and more accurate data. For example in report generation, CRM, HRM etc&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example: I have asked my <a href=\"https:\/\/webkul.com\/website-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
