RBM bot: All about the next generation of texting and its connection to conversational AI

SMS texting is ancient history. The revolutionary RBM (rich business messaging) has arrived in the Czech Republic – and with it a new way of communicating with customers. T-Mobile was the first operator to implement this technology and they joined forces with our conversational AI platform. This platform contacted clients of the Kooperativa bank via RBM and asked how satisfied they were with their insurance company.

Our campaign for
Kooperativa

In our first campaign for Kooperativa

In our first campaign for Kooperativa, we tested whether people were willing to communicate with their insurance company using the RBM channel. As soon as they read the first message, our AI started communicating as it would in a live chat. It enquired in stages about their satisfaction with the services and asked for a Net Promoter Score (NPS). To measure the success of the channels, Kooperativa also launched a mailing campaign. The results exceeded our expectations.

91 %

The number of people who opened and read the introductory message.

60 %

At least one reply via button or message.

49 %

People who answered all three of the questions in the questionnaire.

+45 %

Increase in completion compared to an email campaign.

Although we are a traditional company, we enjoy innovation and new things. We’ve already innovated in customer care and we handle frequently asked questions from our employees and clients with chatbots. We’ve also automated several processes using voicebots with artificial intelligence. We see RCS as an excellent addition to our mix of communication channels, offering a much broader portfolio of uses than traditional texting. In the NPS campaign, we wanted to use RCS to test whether this channel was accepted by clients and this was confirmed beyond a doubt. Our work was made easier by the choice of a well-known use case and cooperation with Coworkers.ai, who used their automation platform to make the project a success. We also see other use cases that will launch a new era of communication with our customers. But more about that next time.”

Frequently asked questions about RBM

What are RBM and RCS and how do they work?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the next generation of SMS and MMS. Thanks to the functions of the RCS channel, you can raise classic text messages to the level of Messenger or WhatsApp.

RBM messages (Rich Business Messaging) are designed to work like any other chat application. This function is natively supported on Android phones, so the addressee does not need to install any additional software on their phone - the RBM message will be received in the same way as a classic SMS. However, RBM messages are sent and received over the Internet via the RCS communication protocol, which runs in the background.

What can RBM send?

RBM is not limited by the number of characters unlike SMS (160 characters). Thanks to RBM, you can have a conversation with the customer and send them pictures and videos. It also allows you to send carousels, cards and provide buttons for the customer to respond faster.

What is the advantage of RBM?

Attractive multimedia content can be incorporated into RBM messages. Each company can customize the chat window according to their company colours and add their logo. The sender is verified, so communication is safe for customers. Messages have a high read rate, which increases the effectiveness of campaigns. RBM enables delivery, read and write notifications.

What is the read rate of RBM messages?

In previous cases where we deployed our RBM bot, the campaign had an open rate of 91%. Of these, 60% of people responded to the message.

Who is RBM suitable for?

Compared to SMS, RBM is suitable for companies that want to create content-rich dialogues with end customers and find out/provide more information about their services/client needs.

Which carriers support RBM?

Sending RBM messages has been enabled by the operator T - mobile since October 2021. The operator O2 started operations on February 1, 2023. Vodafone has not yet commented on the launch of RBM.

What operating systems support RBM?

Android.

Does RBM allow switching to a live operator during a conversation?

Yes, switching to an operator is possible in the coworkers.ai solution. The operator will then see the entire conversation history.

What happens if the phone is unavailable/switched off?

If the recipient of the RBM message has their phone turned off, the message waits in the network for 30 days. When you turn on the phone, the message will be delivered. However, the sender (agent) can revoke the message if it is no longer relevant.

How does the customer revoke consent to contact (ZOEK) using RBM?

RBM messages are not subject to ZOEK (127/2005 Coll. Act on Electronic Communications). The same GDPR rules apply to them as to any other contact (email, SMS, etc.).

A specific feature of RBM is the requirement for an agent to be able to process a STOP message. If the customer sends this message, the agent must not communicate with the client any further (except for a final no-contact message).
