Summary

Very few Fortune 500 companies are represented in more than 34,000 chatbots that are reportedly live on Facebook Messenger. As of December 31, 2016, only 13 of the 128 Fortune 500 firms we benchmarked offered true chatbots. Another 41 deliver customer service on messaging platforms with humans, and our analysis shows just a fraction actually do a good job. Digital business professionals need to pilot conversational interfaces — and do so in a way that doesn't disappoint customers. Read this report to learn what's working and what's not from early adopters.
