Abstract

Chatbots’ ability to carry out focused, result-oriented online conversations with human end-users impacts user experience and user satisfaction. Using “Chatbots” as key identifiable examples utilized by Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) firms in Customer Relationship Management (CRM), this study offers a user satisfaction model in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled CRM in E-Commerce. The model is based on Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT) and Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT) within the Chatbot context. This model will allow us to investigate if chatbots can provide both businesses and consumers the opportunity to complete a journey from normal through abnormal to the new normal in situations similar to a covid pandemic.
