What is artificial intelligence chat?
Artificial intelligence chat enables computers to simulate human‑like conversations using NLP, machine learning, and generative AI. Unlike rule‑based chatbots, it understands context, remembers past interactions, and responds in real time. For manufacturing companies, AI chat answers questions about parts, orders, specs, and pricing 24/7 without human intervention.
