In short

What is Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA)?

A more advanced version of a chatbot that uses AI and NLU to handle complex, unstructured customer requests. Botcadence teams apply this in production with Voice Agents.

Deep Dive

IVAs differ from standard chatbots by understanding context and intent. A Botcadence IVA can handle a customer who says 'Hey, I moved, can you update my address for my next shipment?' without needing a rigid menu-driven flow. Platform teams wire Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) into one workflow with clear acceptance criteria before expanding coverage. Validate multi-intent voice handling on real callers before replacing more IVR menus. See Voice agent.
