AI Chatbot for Customer Support
Overview:
This project involves building an AI-powered chatbot that can handle customer service queries automatically, 24/7. The chatbot simulates human-like conversations using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to understand customer intent and provide accurate, instant responses. It helps businesses reduce human workload, improve customer satisfaction, and provide consistent support across platforms.
Key Features:
-
Natural Language Conversation
Understands and responds to queries using NLP (e.g., "Where is my order?", "I want to return a product"). -
Intent Recognition
Detects user intent (like booking, inquiry, complaint) using a trained ML model. -
FAQ Handling
Answers common questions about pricing, delivery, returns, etc., from a pre-defined database. -
Order Tracking Support
Fetches order status using user-provided order ID via API/database lookup. -
Product Recommendation (Optional)
Suggests products based on user’s query and past interaction. -
Multilingual Support (Optional)
Chatbot can support multiple languages using translation APIs. -
Chat History & Analytics
Logs user conversations for improvement, training, and analytics. -
Fallback to Human Agent
If chatbot is unsure, it escalates the query to a human support agent. -
User Authentication (Optional)
Ask for login credentials before discussing sensitive info.
