With the evolution of digital technologies, we can witness unparalleled changes in the e-commerce sector. And that becomes even more clear with the implementation of AI-based solutions.?
Nowadays, businesses are very eager to explore all the prospects of AI and leverage its capabilities to their advantage. It seems that the integration of AI opens doors to an unparalleled experience for everyone — buyers, sellers, shippers, and distributors. Enthusiasts see the great potential of AI in workload automation, inventory management and tracking, customer experience, and other functions. However, the efficiency of AI solutions has to be properly studied at this stage to spot their potential vulnerabilities and find efficient ways to resolve them.
This is exactly what we are trying to achieve with this article. Our team has conducted a couple of prolonged case studies to figure out whether AI can be considered a modern-time necessity for the competitors in the e-commerce industry.
Basic Solutions to Boost Customer Experience — Based on Case Studies
Our case studies were focused on how the implementation of AI-integrated tools can boost the overall customer experience in two different aspects — buying experience and technical support. For that, we’ve tracked and analised the performance of a basic solution applied by many online stores these days — AI-based chatbots. GPT-3 and Mistral 8X7B models were used in the studies.
In the course of the research, we explored that both models of chatbots boost efficiency in their respective sectors. They both provided quick responses to customers’ inquiries, which made users more satisfied with their overall experience, and as a result, they continued shopping.
To be more specific, buyers were able to reduce response time by up to 75%, in the case of customer support, and by 60% in the case of technical support. Thanks to their 90% and 82% success rates both GPT-3 and Mistral 8X7B managed to satisfy 80% and 78% of users respectively. In the first case, such a percentage of user satisfaction helped to increase sales by 20% through up-selling and cross-selling, which is an obvious benefit for the overall online store budget. Although the GPT-3 chatbot manages to handle twice as many conversations at once, the 1,000 simultaneous conversations from 8X7B are still a good contribution to the overall store’s performance.
Both our case studies proved that the implementation of AI-based chatbots not only increased customer satisfaction but also decreased manual labor. In both cases, human agents’ workload was cut by 45%. For entrepreneurs, this means several important things:
But how this robust optimization can be achieved? Such success rates of our case studies became possible because we did the following:

On the whole, the prospects of AI in the e-commerce industry are yet to be discovered in their full prospects. This becomes especially obvious when you consider that despite striking efficiency, it still faces some severe limitations. Conducting more case studies to spot and eliminate more of such limitations is a relevant task for all the participants of the e-commerce world.
