Resumo: In recent years, chatbots experienced a big boom with the increase of online messaging platforms and advances in AI. Recently, it was recognized that despite the prosperous predictions, chatbots did not get the user uptake it was expected. This paper addresses the possible reasons behind this problem. ‘Awareness’, ‘interest’ and ‘trust’ were assumed to be the main determinants for chatbot usage.
