How the rise of chatbots impacts customer experience

Imagine meeting a personal stylist online who will make specific recommendations for clothing you need to purchase -- including matching items and accessories. Take that a step further, and your stylist will be able to parse recommendations based on your size and budget, as well as available inventory. Finally, you can easily get input from your trusted friends online, make a final decision, and then click once to purchase. With recent improvements to messaging, chatbots, and artificial intelligence technology, that scenario is entirely possible, and the stylist doesn't even need to be a real person. Artificial intelligence (AI) platforms can do much more than comb through product listings and return search results.
