Abstract

Nowadays, chatbots are becoming popular because it feels like talking with

humans in natural language in live chat. This research aims to develop an

eCommerce chatbot to help customers buy different pet products from online

pet stores. The system uses deep learning and natural language processing

concepts like text classification, intent classification, multiclass classification,

named entity recognition, etc. The system will guide the customer through

purchasing the products by asking questions and replying. The system will also

extract the entities from the user queries through NER and display the products

accordingly to the user’s request. It will interestingly engage the user in buying

pet products by solving the user’s query and providing a quick response to the

user. This will also increase sales, raising the revenue of the company.

Conclusion

Creating the hybrid model for the chatbot using rule-based and AI-based ap-

proaches rather than only making it rule-based or AI-based has its own ad-

vantages. Using a self-learning approach, a chatbot can reply to the user by

identifying the intent of the trained model. Using a rule-based approach, the

task is performed accordingly if certain conditions are matched. Therefore com-

bining two models and using a hybrid system to develop the chatbot has an

advantage. Using the NER model helps to filter out the entities and search the

products from the database. Introducing the elasticsearch helps to improve the

search efficiency instead of just using regular expressions to find the products

from the database.
