customer service bot

A customer service bot is an automated program that handles customer inquiries, typically through text chat on websites or apps.

These bots answer common questions, process simple requests, and route complex issues to human agents.

The term often carries a note of frustration: I've been arguing with a customer service bot for twenty minutes.
