What is an AI chatbot? How is it different from Traditional Chatbot?

AI chatbots are programs powered by AI that imitate human-like conversation. They can interact with users in a natural way, by understanding the users’ questions, deliver tailored replies and improve their performance as they learn from previous interactions.

Traditional chatbot is a program that simulates conversation using predefined rules, keywords and decision trees, acting like an interactive FAQ or automated phone menu. [2]

Benefits of using AI Chatbot compared to Traditional Chatbot

  1.  Improve customer service

AI chatbots are available for your customers at any time. This can increase customer satisfaction by answering queries and doubts in real-time.

  1. Save costs

AI chatbots help companies reduce costs by automating routine tasks such as providing product details, sharing pricing information, booking appointments, and delivering additional support, which reduces the workload on human agents.

AI chatbots are also able to handle multiple conversations simultaneously, allowing companies to enhance support operations without having to expand your teams.

  1.  Enhance customer experience

AI chatbots personalize interactions and tailor recommendations based on user preferences and history, enabling businesses to deliver more relevant, engaging, and efficient customer experiences that feel uniquely customized to each individual. [3]

  1. More Engagement

AI chatbots communicate with your website visitors and social media followers in real-time. These engagements can make consumers remain on the webpage for as long as possible and improve your SEO.

  1. Data Collection

AI chatbots are an efficient way to collect your audience data. They can communicate with your audience and gather information such as their names, email addresses, phone number and more. You can easily access these details by integrating the chatbot with your CRM.

1. Mampu AI

What They’re Doing Well 

AI Understands Voice

Mampu AI Chatbot is equipped with voice recognition and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities that allow it to understand and respond to spoken input. This feature enables users to interact hands-free, instead of typing, they can simply speak to the chatbot.

Database Integration

Mampu AI Chatbot integrates directly with Databases like Google Sheets to store, update, and retrieve data automatically. For example, when a user fills in details such as name, contact number, or appointment time during a chat, the chatbot can instantly record the data into a linked Google Sheet, eliminating manual data entry. It can also read from Google Sheets, allowing it to reference or display real-time information such as pricing, schedules, FAQs, or customer records.

Appointment Booking

Mampu AI Chatbot automates the entire appointment booking process, allowing users to schedule, reschedule, or cancel appointments directly through chat. It integrates with platforms such as Google Calendar or in-house scheduling systems, ensuring real-time updates and avoiding double bookings. The AI can also send reminders and confirmations automatically, reducing no-shows and saving time for both customers and staff.

AI Multi-Language

The chatbot supports multi-language communication, allowing it to understand and respond in multiple languages such as English, Malay, and Chinese (and more if needed). This makes it easier for businesses to engage a wider audience without language barriers. The AI automatically detects the user’s language and switches responses accordingly, providing a personalized and inclusive experience for every customer.

AI Notify Human

When the chatbot encounters a question it cannot answer or detects a customer who needs human support, it will instantly notify a live agent. The system can send notifications through WhatsApp, Telegram, or email, ensuring that the right person gets alerted immediately. This feature bridges the gap between automation and human interaction, maintaining smooth communication and quick issue resolution.

What They’re Lacking 

Lack of “human” empathy

AI chatbots may fail to handle sensitive or emotional customer interactions as a human agent would. This is a known general limitation of AI chatbots

Dependence on quality of training data

The performance depends heavily on how well the FAQ/knowledge base is prepared and maintained. 

How does Mampu AI tackle the problems?

Mampu AI has dedicated human agents ready to handle complex conversations. When the AI detects a query that falls outside the scope of its training, it immediately triggers a notification to our live agents, ensuring a smooth handover and providing enough support for the customers. 

Mampu AI allows you to customize the chatbot’s knowledge and conversation flows to match your business needs, enhancing both relevance and accuracy in responses. Our Malaysia-based tech team provides full support and can handle all customizations for you.

2. XIMNET

Features

Better no-intent handling

Nowadays, users have a short attention span and patience when it comes to getting the necessary information at the moment. When an AI Chatbot fails to provide a good response beyond the users’ expectations, users get frustrated. Users’ irritation can lead to poor customer satisfaction which gives a negative impact for all businesses.

To avoid that, we program our chatbot to move on to gather the user's information upon failing three times so that the information can be sent to the Human Agent team to follow up and resolve instead of prolonging the frustration.

Managing frustration is key to providing world-class customer experience. With a good retraining routine in place, our AI chatbots will be able to respond to a wide range of enquiries effectively over time.

Seamless Bot-To-Website Interaction

The AI chatbot interface offers limited space to display large amounts of content effectively. XTOPIA.IO’s AI Chatbot overcomes this by integrating directly with the website, allowing it to load page content smoothly while showing or hiding the chat window when needed, creating a seamless and engaging user experience.

What They’re Doing Well

Deployment flexibility

Our AI chatbot works across multiple channels such as websites, social media platforms, WhatsApp, or even through a shared link. Our AI chatbot also has the ability to customise the chatbot’s appearance and personality to align with your brand, creating a consistent customer experience.

Sufficient analytics

Our AI chatbot comes with dashboards that show conversation logs, unanswered questions and drop-off points, giving you insights into user behaviour and opportunities for improvement. It also comes with multilingual fluency and agentic capabilities such as lead capture or appointment booking, 

What They’re Lacking

Outdated or incorrect responses

Misunderstandings can happen when NLP models are poorly trained. User frustration is common when bots repeatedly say “I don’t know.” To avoid this, design graceful failure handling: escalate the query, collect contact information, or offer a human handoff. 

Multilingual missteps

This often happens when content isn’t equally available in all languages. This is best resolved by ensuring your knowledge base includes equivalent material for every supported language. 

How does XIMNET tackle the problems?

This can be solved by feeding the chatbot diverse examples of real user queries and relying on RAG to retrieve accurate answers when intent recognition is weak. To avoid AI saying “I don’t know”, they can design graceful failure handling such as escalate the query, collect contact information or send it to a live agent to handle. 

This is best resolved by ensuring your knowledge base includes equivalent material for every supported language. [4]

Pricing

RM90,000 (Basic) to over RM450,000 (Advanced)

3. DREAMZTECH

Features

Scalability & High Throughput

Able to handle high volumes of inquiries simultaneously, suitable for businesses with many customers or leads.

Automation of Routine Tasks

Great for automating FAQs, basic customer support, and data collection. 

What They’re Doing Well

Boosted Efficiency

Automate repetitive tasks like FAQs, orders, and appointments so your team can focus on more complex issues.

Zero Training Needed

Our smart AI chatbot understands customer needs instantly and recommends the right products — no manual setup needed.

What They’re Lacking

Potential for technical issues or misunderstandings 

Complicated or emotional questions may cause the bot to deliver irrelevant answers or stop following up,  frustrating users.

Maintenance overhead & updates needed

As business info changes (e.g. new products, policies), the chatbot must be manually updated, which increases the workload for workers.

How does DREAMZTECH tackle the problem?

Provide fallback & handoff to human agents when necessary. This balances automation benefits with reliability.

Version control and testing workflow whenever data changes. In enterprise-grade solutions (like DreamzTech’s), updates to FAQ / content should trigger re-testing, to verify answers remain accurate, and the bot still behaves as expected. 

Pricing

RM499/month for individual services like "AI Salesman" (with 10k contacts) or RM999/month for their 3-in-1 package (with 100k contacts), both often bundled with ads tracking, WhatsApp blasting, and e-commerce tools, plus a one-time RM900 setup fee.

4. DahReply

Features

Automated Report Generation & Dashboards

DahReply’s AI reporting feature auto-generates charts, summarises and provides performance dashboards, improving decision making efficiency.

What They’re Doing Well

From WhatsApp chatbots to Facebook Messenger, DahReply makes it easy to send campaigns, promotions and updates with higher open rates than email.

Appointment booking that never sleeps

DahReply’s in app scheduling system books appointments instantly. Users get instant notification and your team get more qualified bookings without manual effort.

What They’re Lacking

Privacy concerns and data leak risks

Web based chatbots have vulnerabilities, especially if they integrate with external third party services.

User frustration when responses feel too “robotic”

Over-automation can make consumers feel disconnected and less welcomed.

How does DahReply tackle the problem?

Informing users that they are chatting with “AI” and defining limitations helps manage expectations

If AI fails or detects uncertainty, it should trigger fallback. This will maintain service continuity, avoiding “bot stuck” cases.

Pricing

Starting from RM39/month for a Starter plan (plus a one-off RM150 setup fee) up to an Enterprise plan at RM2999/month (with a RM5000 setup fee),

5. KRISPI

Features

What They’re Doing Well

This enables a centralized communication hub, allowing businesses to manage all customer interactions in one place.

What They’re Lacking

Limited understanding of nuanced queries

AI chatbots often struggle when questions are too deep or emotional, leading to misjudgement. 

“Hallucination” (incorrect answers)

AI chatbots rely on general data without proper validation, which may produce responses that sound plausible but actually incorrect.

How does KRISPI tackle the problem?

Add on fallback to live agents when the question exceeds the bot's scope, instead of risking a poor bot answer.

Build responses from a structured and verified knowledge base such as internal docs, FAQ database.

Pricing

RM250 for SMEs, RM2500 for medium enterprises, RM5900 for large enterprises
