How to evaluate chatbot apps

Use this guide to narrow the shortlist before reviewing implementation detail with a partner or internal owner.

What chatbots should solve

The strongest chatbot rollouts handle qualification, triage, and repeat service questions. They should reduce queue pressure while still routing complex issues to the right human team.

How to evaluate fit

Look at channel coverage, handoff behavior, reporting, multilingual support, and how well the bot can update or reference Salesforce records during the conversation.

Where projects usually fail

Most failures are not product issues. They come from weak conversation design, poor fallback logic, and no operational owner for content, intent tuning, and escalation.

Selection checklist

  • Confirm whether the bot is optimized for sales qualification, support, or both.
  • Review native Salesforce object access and agent handoff options.
  • Test reporting for CSAT, conversion, deflection, and resolution outcomes.
  • Check governance around bot training, conversation versioning, and multilingual flows.
