By implementing these voice capabilities, chatbot vendors can maximise value proposition by encouraging voice-led conversational commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emulating China Is Crucial for Chatbots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report found that the total spend over chatbot messaging apps in China will surpass $21 billion by 2026, with applications such as WeChat providing a definitive framework for chatbots that is branded for each retailer. It urges chatbots vendors outside of China to emulate this framework to drive further chatbot adoption by offering services, including payment capabilities, social media and rich media. Additionally, as chatbot traffic grows, machine learning must be used to assess past conversations and further automate the omnichannel retail experience over chatbots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new\u00a0Juniper Research\u00a0study has found that the total number of chatbot messaging apps accessed globally will increase from 3.5 billion in 2022 to 9.5 billion by 2026.
