Chatbot industry analysis

Through our knowledge in the field of technology companies and our experience in the corporate financewe conducted this analysis of the chatbot industry. With messaging apps on the rise, chatbots are now a milestone. Chatbots are artificial intelligence systems that interact with users through messages, text or voice.

Despite the complexity of the artificial intelligence used to select the content and context of conversations with users, there are a number of platforms and frameworks available to build a sophisticated chatbot. The ease and accessibility of creating a customisable bot coupled with the increased use of messaging apps only demonstrates the growth and strength that will drive the chatbot industry.

According to a recent report by Grand View Research, the global chatbot market is expected to reach $1.23MM by 2025, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.3%. The projections show growth during the forecast period, as chatbots reduce operational costs for businesses.

Business chatbots will continue to improve in the coming years. Chatbot architecture and design will evolve to the point where interactive AI will become standard for customer service.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
