support bot
Automated assistance program
A support bot is an automated program designed to handle customer service inquiries, typically through chat interfaces on websites or apps.
Support bots answer common questions, troubleshoot basic problems, and route complex issues to human agents: I spent twenty minutes arguing with a support bot before reaching an actual person.
The term often carries a note of frustration, as these systems frequently fail to address real problems.
