Chat infrastructure enables communication and messaging capabilities within an application or platform. These services often provide a foundation for building chatbots, conversational interfaces, and other interactive systems.

Key components of software chat infrastructure include:

  1. Messaging Platform: A scalable and reliable messaging system that handles incoming and outgoing messages.
  2. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Capabilities to analyze, understand, and process human language inputs.
  3. Dialogue Management: Logic to manage the conversation flow, including intent identification, entity extraction, and response generation.
  4. Integration Layer: APIs and connectors to integrate with various services, such as CRM systems, databases, or third-party APIs.

Companies competing in chat infrastructure make products and APIs available to enable one or more of the above components.
