Abstract
Artificial intelligence-powered chatbot usage continues to grow worldwide, and there is ongoing research to identify features that maximize the utility of chatbots. This study uses the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method to find the best available alternative chatbot for task completion. We identify chatbot evaluation criteria from literature followed by inputs from experts using the Delphi method. We apply CRITIC to evaluate the relative importance of the specified criteria. Finally, we list popular alternatives of chatbots and features offered and apply WASPAS and EDAS techniques to rank the available alternatives. The alternatives explored in this study include YOU, ChatGPT, PerplexityAI, ChatSonic, and CharacterAI. Both methods yield identical results in ranking, with ChatGPT emerging as the most preferred alternative based on the criteria identified.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
