I'd also be curious how well a chat would do for your sites when the customer might prefer that the site is all Allie and not some customer service bots.
Yeah, the numbers just don't seem to make sense but there are so many companies using these solutions that I started wondering if I'm just not "getting it".

Funny you brought up the aspect of how potential customers may feel about a bot on a site like ours as we were also wondering the same thing. If only AI was far enough along to have a realistic "Allie bot" that would close the deal for potential customers that were on the fence.
