Abstract

Communication between customers and service providers is an important issue at sites where various businesses and transactions take place. In particular, the ability to solve problems quickly and accurately when a problem arises and when an inquiry is received is directly linked to trust in the site. In this paper, we propose a method of handling complaints and inquiries of site users by using chatbot technology on talent market platform site. First, we implemented chatbot that can communicate with the inquirers in real time, so that users can use the site usage and word search functions. For various errors and problems of the site which can not be defined by a few words or sentences, I have specified an error code and database it. Users of the site were able to contact chatbot with the error code that was output when an error occurred and get the corresponding response in real time. The chatbot implemented in this study provided a satisfactory experience because that was able to provide quick and accurate answers to users who experienced errors or inquiries when using the site. This will have a positive impact on the credibility and favorability of the site over the long term, and will help reduce manpower and time costs for error inquiries.

각종 비즈니스와 거래가 이루어지는 사이트에서 고객과 서비스 공급자와의 소통은 중요한 문제이다. 특히 어떠한 문제가 발생해 문의가 들어왔을 때 그 문제를 빠르고 정확하게 해결하는 능력은 사이트에 대한 신뢰와도 직결된다. 본 논문에서는 재능마켓 플랫폼 사이트에서 챗봇 기술을 이용해 사이트 이용자들의 불평과 문의를 처리하는 방식을 제안한다. 우선 문의자와 실시간으로 대화할 수 있는 챗봇을 구현하여 사이트 이용법, 단어 검색 등의 기능을 이용할 수 있게 하였다. 몇 단어 혹은 문장으로 정의하기 힘든 사이트의 각종 오류와 문제에 대해서는 에러코드를 지정해 데이터베이스화시켰다. 사이트 이용자들은 오류 발생 시 출력되는 에러코드를 챗봇에 문의하여 그에 대응하는 답변을 실시간으로 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 구현한 챗봇은 사이트 이용 시 오류를 경험하거나 문의가 생긴 이용자에게 빠르고 정확한 답변을 줄 수 있어 만족스러운 경험을 제공했다. 이는 장기적으로 사이트의 신뢰성과 호감도에 긍정적인 영향을 주고 오류 문의 등에 들어가는 인력과 시간비용을 줄이는 등의 도움을 줄 것으로 예상된다.
