The results indicated that chatbot interaction and chatbot problem-solving had positive and significant effects on accuracy. Furthermore, both chatbot interaction and chatbot problem-solving directly influence customer satisfaction positively and significantly. Accuracy also had a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Mediation analysis showed that accuracy significantly mediated the relationship between chatbot interaction and customer satisfaction, as well as between chatbot problem-solving and customer satisfaction. These findings demonstrated that the quality of interaction and the effectiveness of chatbot problem-solving enhanced perceived accuracy, which subsequently increased user satisfaction. The study contributed to the understanding of AI-based customer service performance in the e-commerce context and highlighted the importance of improving chatbot accuracy to optimize user satisfaction.
