About AppSocially

founders@appsocial.ly angel.co/appsociallySummary
ChatCenter Ai, is the human-robot hybrid business-
customer conversation platform
‣ HOW: (1) We make our AI engine learn how you communicate with your real
customers (data-driven approach), (2) while streamlining manual conversation
(design approach). (3) Thus no upfront cost required for creating training data
‣ WHY: Businesses need the cost-effective + realistic way to streamline and
automate conversation with their customers, to replace most part of labor centric
human conversation by robot, while making human focus on what they are great at.
(Based on our experience for 2 years so far, this is the best strategy for enterprises to invest in AI, in short
and longer terms.)

Our Customers are industry leaders

founders@appsocial.ly angel.co/appsociallyProblem and Solution
Problems
It’s hard to start and keep running a conversational channels
with AI, because it requires a lot of cost, time and expertise.
It’s impossible to replace human-being with bot with AI (like in
movies), realistically speaking.

Solution
ChatCenter Ai is a platform to streamline and
automate your conversation with your customers.
‣ No upfront cost for strategy-planning (to invest in AI), and creating “meeting-room-
born” training data by fancy consultants.
‣ Once you start talking with your customers, our AI engine keeps monitoring your
“real” conversation with your “real customers,” and continuously help you templatize
and automate them.
‣ This can serve both as your short-term cost reduction, as well as your longer-term
(smart) AI investment strategy (“While you talk with your customers, you obtain
domain-specific training data for your business as by-product”）

founders@appsocial.ly angel.co/appsociallyOur Philosophy
Why we don’t work too much on Machine Learning
50-90% of Automation aka Bot can be built without
fancy machine learning engines
‣ Structured data like temporal, spacial and boolean data (patterns) can specify the
most of your customers context without trying to analogize the contexts based on
unstructured data.
Tackling this data problem with design-oriented
approach can defeats limitation of current AI
technologies
‣ Most of available technologies require “meeting-room born” training data created by
fancy consultants. Our product creates “human-verified” training data as the
by-product of running your chat center with your real customers.

3 Types of investment strategies in AI
Invest in collecting or creating “meeting-room born
training” Data (X.ai, Facebook's M, Watson Consultants)
Invest in Talent or Team (Google, Facebook, Salesforce, and all those giants)
Invest in domain specific “human-verified training
data” in your business domain that are created with
“real” conversation with your “real" customers (that
is what ChatCenter Ai can help you to)

2 Types of bots

2 Types of bots
Event-based
Conversations start based on event triggered by
Natural Language Processing + pattern of
conversation and metadata
(= by visualizing your experience)
Flow-based (tree structured)
Structured flow of the conversation defines the
following questions. FAQs turns Bots. 
(＝ to make the most of your assets)
When message arrives Send“Hello!”
If message contains
“wifi,available”
Send“Wifi is available
and password is XXX.”
