Abstract

The e-commerce industry’s customer support has changed a lot because many companies are now using intelligence or AI. Chatbots, assistants and automated helpdesks are examples of AI-powered customer support systems. These systems help customers get quicker, personalized and 24/7 assistance. This study looks at how AI-powered customer service affects customer satisfaction and loyalty on e-commerce sites like Flipkart and Amazon. The main goals are to understand how customers feel about AI-based support how well it solves their problems and how it affects their satisfaction and loyalty. To gather data the study uses both primary sources. Secondary data comes from journals, industry reports and corporate publications. Primary data comes from a questionnaire, for people who use AI customer support services. The study expects to find that good, responsive and easy-to-use AI support makes the overall service experience better. This in turn makes customers more satisfied and loyal. The study aims to provide e-commerce companies with insights to improve their AI-driven customer support strategies and build long-lasting customer relationships.
