A practical answer
Does my business need a chatbot?
A chatbot makes sense when customers often ask the same questions or follow a repeatable path: booking, choosing a product, placing an order, or checking status. If every enquiry needs an expert conversation, the bot should quickly pass it to a person instead of making the customer wait.
How Lumen builds chatbotsReview actual conversations
Read a few dozen recent messages. Which questions repeat? Which answers already exist in your price list or policies? At what point do people still ask for a manager? Those conversations reveal a useful role for a bot better than a platform feature list.
A bot needs an outcome
For Fishka Mishka, we built a Telegram bot around ordering a personalized gift: choosing a bear, arranging delivery, sending the order to KeyCRM, collecting the voice message after payment, and approving the audio. It is more than automated replies; each step has a next action for the customer and team.
When the bot gets in the way
If someone cannot correct a mistake, ask an unusual question, or reach a manager, the bot becomes another obstacle. Define when it hands over the conversation, what context it passes with it, and how the team sees unread requests.
