The question is, can platforms integrating with chatbots provide end to end encryption? If not, then how is this communication channel secure? Chatbots have the potential to transform current online business. It is critical for organizations to avoid the frenzy surrounding this new technology. They should take a conservative, deliberate approach to chatbot development and deployment. We at Engati http://s.engati.com/142 have started the journey.
