A chatbot is an artificial intelligence (AI) software that can simulate a conversation with a user in natural language through messaging applications, websites, mobile apps, or even telephones. Designed to communicate and interact like human beings, chatbots are programmed to understand complex requests, personalize responses, and enhance interactions over time. They serve various purposes, ranging from answering customer queries to providing technical support and streamlining business processes. In commercial environments, chatbots are being employed to automate customer service tasks, thus significantly reducing response time and improving user satisfaction. They are also increasingly utilized in sectors such as banking, healthcare, e-commerce, and entertainment. Within the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, the integration of chatbots into various business operations represents a transformational trend. As businesses in the GCC focus on improving customer engagement and efficiency, chatbot technology is gaining prominence. By providing a platform that understands and responds to user queries swiftly, chatbots are proving to be a valuable tool for businesses to stay competitive in an increasingly digitalized global market.
