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.

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.

My mentor Nikit Patel, has been a constant source of inspiration, encouragement, advice, excitement, and belief in my abilities. His knowledge in the IT business, ideas, and suggestions on introducing new things were quite beneficial to me. I’d want to thank him for devoting some of his valuable time to interns like us.
