Chatbots

In general I am not opposed to the use of chatbots because it is a cost-effective way of providing customer service, especially where human interaction is not necessary. In the exchange below the chatbot was funny and also solved my problem! However, I would like to know when I am talking to a robot. I assumed when I clicked "Chat with a Logos expert or call us at..." that I would be talking to a real person. Likewise, in the email exchange I assumed I was talking to a real person.

Chat 2018.10.30

Robert 18:27:09	https://www.logos.com/product/5161/calvins-commentaries says its included in Bronze and up. But when I look at the Bronze package, it doesn't look like its included. Is it included in its entirety in the Bronze and up packages? Thanks!
Gerald 18:28:28	Hi, Robert!
Gerald 18:29:06	Looking at this for you.
Robert 18:29:13	Also just curious (sorry for asking) are you a real person?
Gerald 18:29:35	I am a robot, for sure!
Gerald 18:29:38	:-)
Gerald 18:29:53	Do you have an account with us, Robert?
Robert 18:29:59	You never know these days!
Gerald 18:30:00	I was trying to look it up, and I can't find it.
Gerald 18:30:07	So true!!
Gerald 18:31:51	Calvin's commentaries are included in all of the Reformed base packaged, Bronze and up. You must have been on the Standard Bronze page.
Robert 18:32:30	You're right, thank you.

My take on your experience is that you were dealing with real people in both cases and the chat responder was joking about being a robot. I could be wrong... but seem to recall Bob (the CEO) making a public statement years ago, that when calling in, customers would always speak to a real person. I point out this non-applicable situation because it reflects the company culture IMO.

If Gerald really is a robot, he's a very intelligent one! I suspect it's a member of staff thinking you were having a bit of fun, and playing along. And although your email response was canned, again I think it came from a real person. (You always get a better response to bug reports on the forums, by the way.)

Hi Robert,

I can confirm that both Gerald and I are actually real people! I'm sorry if my emails seemed overly formulaic, but they were not the work of a robot.

Wow! I am very sorry for the confusion.

I really like the feedback from real people, and I have a lot of fun reading these forums.

I am so thankful for the Faithlife employees posting here as well as the equally helpful and dedicated users.

So... Thank you!
