Botium enables brands to improve and continuously test the customer chatbot experience across all channels and platforms in all phases of the chatbot development lifecycle.
“In today’s digital economy, testing digital CX is a critical function for companies in every industry, so the release of Cyara Botium was a natural addition to our product arsenal. It has already made a positive impact for many of our customers,” said Alok Kulkarni, CEO and Co-founder of Cyara. “Our goal is to ensure that self-service CX solutions such as chatbots and interactive voice response (IVR) systems are improving customer journeys -- not causing customers additional frustration -- all while increasing productivity and minimizing costs.”

This helps customers reduce friction and increase the frequency of load testing to enable continuous testing.
