Problem Statement

The rapid growth of e-commerce has heightened customer expectations for fast, accurate, and personalized service. However, traditional customer service models, reliant on human agents, are often unable to scale efficiently to meet these demands. This has led to increased customer frustration, longer wait times, and a decline in overall customer satisfaction. Additionally, the surge in online shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic has placed further strain on customer service teams, exacerbating these issues. E-commerce companies are now seeking ways to leverage AI to enhance customer service efficiency and personalization. However, the implementation of AI solutions is not without challenges, including the need for substantial investment in technology, integration with existing systems, and ensuring that AI-driven interactions meet or exceed the quality of human service.

Increasing customer expectations require fast, accurate, and personalized service.
