Digital assistants like text medium (Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram etc.) and verbal medium (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, Windows Cortana etc.) are helping customers and providing them convenience than ever before. On the other hand, customers are still skeptical about online shopping through these digital assistants. In this research paper the researcher will discuss the elements that cause customer skepticism and the determinants of customer satisfaction in regard to Artificial Intelligence-powered Digital assistants. This would assist online retailers in providing a better online shopping experience by removing customer dissatisfaction and privacy concerns associated with conversational commerce. This will help online retailers to provide a better online shopping experience by eliminating the overall customer dissatisfaction and privacy concerns regarding conversational commerce.
