摘要
According to the high-tech high touch paradigm, the human touch is necessary to counterbalance a new technology usage. The chatbot is a new communication tool that proposes to automate a conversation between a company and its customers. It is highly technological, but it also offers the human touch. In this context, the present study seeks to investigate how chatbots offer human touch in online service encounters through Mystery shopper and content analysis. The dialogue, the virtual agent, the automation, and coherence of forty-two conversational agents were analyzed. The results indicate how human touch can be applied.
