Outcome
Since its 2024 launch, Bab has facilitated 250,000 conversations, delivers instant answers to 50% of all queries, and the rollout to iOS and Android increased monthly conversations by over 50%.
What failed first
Prior chatbot solutions explored by Babbel fell short because they merely regurgitated Help Centre articles rather than providing genuinely functional and pleasant assistance.
