Resumen

En el panorama actual, la inteligencia artificial (IA) está creciendo rápidamente y las organizaciones adoptan continuamente tecnologías inteligentes. Junto con los chatbots, la IA se considera un elemento clave en la transformación digital y tiene el poder de remodelar por completo la forma en que los clientes se comunican con las organizaciones. Sin embargo, existen pocas investigaciones empíricas sobre el impacto que los chatbots tienen en sus usuarios.

En este contexto, este artículo investiga la implementación de heurísticas de interacción, lenguaje y antropomorfismo en aplicaciones de chatbots, utilizando un diseño experimental 2x3 con videos de comercio móvil. El estudio explora hasta qué punto las heurísticas relacionadas con los chatbots pueden influir en las percepciones de confianza, satisfacción e intención de compra.

Los hallazgos de esta investigación confirmaron que el uso de imágenes y lenguaje similares a los humanos aumenta la satisfacción del usuario. La presencia social en el entorno en línea a través de rasgos antropomórficos también puede generar una mayor satisfacción. Por lo tanto, las organizaciones, desarrolladores, diseñadores y especialistas en marketing deben centrarse en elegir una apariencia humana, así como en señales lingüísticas antropomórficas, para mejorar la satisfacción y ofrecer una mejor experiencia general del usuario.
