2. Online chatbots
Online fashion retailer ASOS is paving the way for chatbots, which are essentially automated messaging systems that interact with customers. Its bot, named ‘Enki’, was released last summer and helps customers find clothes through style matching and visual search.
We can expect other e-commerce sites to follow suit soon, with bots of the future integrating search, maps and virtual assistants to make shopping even easier.
