Use a Chatbot To Generate Documents and E-Sign

Very recently, I was taking a flight and had to change my flight to the following day. Instead of jumping onto a phone call, I was able to work with a chatbot to reschedule. The bot was able to look up my information and saved me a lot of time, and saved me the hassle of listening to muzak waiting on hold.

These days, chatbots are all over the place. They are on websites, built into apps, and even built into intranets and communication tools like Microsoft Teams. According to IBM, chatbots can reduce customer service costs by 30% because they save on expensive call center calls, get answers more quickly for users who prefer to text rather than talk, and give you much more reliable data to improve customer experiences.

Make PDFs Searchable (OCR) After Importing Into SharePoint

Let’s say you scan a piece of paper and convert it to a PDF. Did you know your PDF can have its text and images processed to make it easy to search through?
