Frequently asked questions

AI concierge, conversational agent, immersive navigation: the essentials about DUBUB, in a few answers.

Understanding immersive navigation

What is an AI concierge for a website?

An AI concierge is a conversational agent built into your website. It answers your visitors' questions, guides them to the relevant content, clarifies their needs and passes their requests on to your team, according to the agreed rules. At DUBUB, in Montreal, every Concierge is designed around your identity, your services and your clientele.

What is the difference between a chatbot and immersive navigation?

A chatbot answers in a chat window, off to the side of the site. Immersive navigation brings navigation and conversation together: the content and the exchange evolve as one. Your Concierge takes into account the pages viewed, can lead the visitor to a precise section and highlight it, without ever making them start over. The experience becomes more intuitive, personalized and adapted to each person.

How does immersive mode work?

Immersive mode is built on the Double View: the site on the left, SophIA on the right. You ask a question, compare offers or explore a topic, and the content displayed adapts to what you are looking for. You remain free to explore the pages at your own pace, and you pick up the thread of your navigation and your conversation when you switch from classic mode to immersive mode.

What your Concierge brings to your business

What does a conversational agent bring to customer service?

Every visit carries a different intention. Your Concierge helps understand needs, guides visitors and gives continuity to the exchanges, from first contact to follow-up. Your customer service team receives requests that are clarified, prepared and sent to the right recipient, according to the agreed rules.

Does the Concierge help with lead generation?

Yes. All three offers include progressive qualification and request transmission, along with a lead centre and essential statistics. There is no per-lead surcharge.

Can we rely on automation and connect the Concierge to our tools?

Automating some exchanges and follow-ups is one of the possibilities to explore together during your custom demo. Once the experience is approved, your Concierge is integrated into your site; depending on the project, it can be connected to your existing tools to ease the hand-off and follow-up of requests. External integrations: optional, unless stated in the quote.

Is the Concierge bilingual?

It is in fact trilingual: all three offers include an experience in French, English and Spanish. Full professional translation of your site or documents, however, is not part of the Standard and Complete offers.

Which sectors is immersive navigation designed for?

It is designed for businesses in several sectors, including: real estate and residences, retail and services, tourism and hospitality, restaurants and events, health and wellness. Every sector has its own particularities; yours helps us understand your environment.

Getting set up on your website

How does the setup unfold?

In five steps. We analyze your site, your services and your clientele. We create your Concierge's visual identity and design its conversational journeys, in harmony with your brand. We develop your immersive navigation experience. You test it through a personalized demonstration and your client portal. Then, once the experience is approved, your Concierge is integrated into your site.

How long does it take to go live?

The indicative go-live timeline is 3 to 5 weeks for the Standard offer and 5 to 8 weeks for the Complete offer. Schedule: confirmed after assessment; depends on content, access and approvals.

Can we see a demonstration before committing?

Yes. The custom demo takes the form of a short seven-step conversation: we get to know your business, you discover what DUBUB can do for it. We then get back to you to set a time for your demonstration. And for a first look, you can talk with SophIA in immersive mode right now.
