Merchants want to give their customers the best experience possible. However, when a delivery doesn’t get there on time, or an order is wrong, you have to work with customer service to get a problem resolved.
Adding artificial intelligence to the customer service layer enabled merchants to use chatbots or other tech to address easier requests. Chatbots often follow a script, which can lead to some frustrating back-and-forth before customers decide to speak with a human.
