Turning to the AI chatbot-based live chat, Maria initiates a conversation for guidance. The chatbot proactively inquires about her preferences and presents a well-suited category. Maria examines the recommendations, and seeks additional information. Chatbot offers additional help or the option to speak with a live agent.
Answering FAQs: Stephanie is not sure about payment method and delivery. She asks the AI chatbot and he gives her detailed answers even with pricing for delivery. She also tends to know the terms and conditions of the service, even here AI chatbot is ready to help by sending her links to terms and conditions so she doesn't need to search for them on the website.
