APPROACH TO THE INTELLIGENT AGENTS APPLICATION IN E-COMMERCE SYSTEMS

Introduction. This paper presents the analyze of main consumer behavior models in modern e-commerce systems, such as electronic consumer decision process model, research online – purchase offline concept, also shown architectural solutions of e-commerce systems, including microservice architecture. Proposes the application of artificial intelligence (AI) based on large language models in e-commerce. The main functions of these models include text generation, acting as a 24/7 assistant, and analytics. Specifically, the user cases for store owners include the automatic generation of product descriptions, keywords, and categories, as well as analytics in areas such as customer feedback, user requests, searches, and shopping patterns.

The purpose of the paper is to consider the possibility of use intelligent agents such as chatbots in an e-commerce system to meet customer needs, increase sales and provide personalized information.

Results. The proposed approach demonstrate  that that AI models based on large language models can be applied to automate the generation of product descriptions, keywords, categories, and to gain insights into customer feedback, user requests, searches, and shopping patterns. In summary, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of various consumer behavior models, architectural solutions, and the potential benefits of implementing AI-based solutions in the e-commerce industry.

Conclusions. The results of using intelligent agents in an e-commerce system include the ability to handle a large volume of customer queries simultaneously, provide support, and improve customer satisfaction and retention rates. The use of an intelligent agent in the sales process can also help to recommend products based on the customer’s preferences and browsing history, increasing the likelihood of a sale. The use of microservice architecture in a web application for an online store allows for independent scalability of components and the ability to build a system using different programming languages.

Keywords: e-trade, intelligent agents, consumer behavior model, e-commerce system.
