    Conversational AI tools are software systems that understand, process, and respond to human language in natural, back-and-forth conversations, often across chat, voice, and other channels. They use technologies like natural language processing, machine learning, and large language models to simulate human-like interactions and continuously improve from interactions. These tools power chatbots, voice assistants, AI copilots, and customer-service agents.
