Abstract:
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, providing efficient and effective customer support is crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. This project aims to design an intelligent chatbot that can handle customer queries and provide personalized assistance in real-time. By leveraging natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms, the proposed chatbot will understand customer inquiries, provide relevant responses, and escalate complex issues to human agents when necessary. The chatbot’s performance and user satisfaction will be evaluated using a dataset of customer interactions, and its potential for integration into existing e-commerce platforms will be explored.
