Năm mới 2020 thật đặc biệt. Nghe như một tiếng reo vui: Hai mươi, hai mươi! Với phụ nữ, chẳng có âm thanh nào lại ngọt ngào và dễ gây thổn thức đến thế. Không phải đàn ông giàu và tốt, không phải tiền bạc, cũng không phải danh vọng hay sự nghiệp, tuổi trẻ mới là thứ khiến phụ nữ tiếc nuối nhất khi mất đi.

Cũng bởi vậy mà trước thềm năm mới, người phụ nữ nào cũng ngổn ngang những buồn vui.

Hai mươi hai mươi, phụ nữ có vui, năm mới mới thực sự an lành! - Ảnh 3.

Buồn vì mỗi năm thêm một tuổi, cái tuổi nó đuổi xuân đi. Buồn vì hôm qua còn được “thưa chị” mà hôm nay chàng trai đeo tạp dề đen đang thử việc ở quán cà phê quen đã “thưa cô”. Buồn vì hôm qua mới hai mươi mấy mà hôm nay đã gia nhập nhóm “gái 30 tuổi đã toan về già” mà chưa có một gã bồ dắt lưng.

Nhưng trong mênh mang buồn, vẫn thấy những niềm vui mơn mởn trỗi dậy không thể gọi tên.

Có thể là nỗi thở phào được nghỉ Tết sau chuỗi ngày miệt mài chấm công và chạy deadline. Có thể là niềm hỉ hả kiểm đếm lại một năm được nhiều hơn mất. Có thể là nỗi thảnh thơi duỗi chân ngồi bấm điện thoại nhắn tin lướt phây ở tiệm làm đầu. Có thể là niềm hân hoan chờ thưởng Tết để tích cóp thêm vào sổ tiết kiệm hay giúp dư nợ thẻ tín dụng về 0. Có thể là nỗi háo hức đoàn tụ nơi quê nhà, trong gian khách ấm với mẹ cha họ hàng, trong cuộc hẹn hò lũ bạn thủa hoa hiên mà nghe đâu những chàng Ngạn mình từng khảng khái bỏ qua thời Mắt biếc giờ đều đã trở thành Dũng cả.

Và có một niềm vui vừa mơ hồ vừa rõ ràng, niềm vui được khởi đầu.

Năm mới – hai từ ấy không chứa sự khắc nghiệt của thời gian. Năm mới, ấy là những gì cũ kĩ, xui xẻo, tồi tệ, cay đắng, thất vọng đã qua cả rồi. Là mọi thứ không tốt đẹp đều đã dừng lại, theo cách mà niềm tin đinh ninh là thế. Tất thảy chúng ta hướng về năm mới bằng sự nôn nao đón đợi, bằng lòng xác quyết rằng cuộc đời sẽ nở hoa, bất chấp năm tuổi hay tam tai, Kế Đô hay Thái Bạch.

Năm mới, vạn vật khởi sinh, mọi thứ trong cuộc sống cũng được tái sinh theo. Từ mái tóc vừa nhuộm, móng tay vừa cắt tỉa, làn da vừa được chăm dưỡng đến niềm cảm hứng rạo rực muốn đổi thay, muốn làm cái gì đó khác đi, mạnh mẽ hơn, quyết liệt hơn, khác biệt hơn.

Thì cứ làm đi ai cấm! Mà nào ai dám cấm? Hãy thử một lần đổi thay thực sự, bằng những vụn vặt li ti, nhân một năm mới có con số reo vui mời gọi: 2020. Lời vẫy gọi của tuổi trẻ, lời vẫy gọi của tự do.

Hai mươi hai mươi, phụ nữ có vui, năm mới mới thực sự an lành! - Ảnh 4.

Ví như thử cài app tinder và quẹt phải một trai Tây chỉ tới Việt Nam nhân chuyến du lịch dài ngày để trải nghiệm cảm giác hẹn hò đầy hên xui với kẻ xa lạ bí ẩn.

Hay là thử nhắn tin cho “crush” Đoàn Văn Hậu để nói với anh ấy rằng: “Trời đã cho em đôi chân không có khả năng đá bóng nhưng có khả năng chạy theo anh.”

Hay là thử đăng ký tham gia một cuộc thi nhan sắc cấp quốc gia ngay cả khi bạn chỉ cao 1m57 và làn da “tươi màu suy nghĩ”. Chuẩn mực cái đẹp đang đổi thay từng ngày và thế giới ngày càng đánh giá cao hơn vẻ đẹp của ánh mắt nụ cười thay vì độ dài rợp của lông mi và độ cong mọng của bờ môi.

Hoặc là thử xách vali lên và đi, bỏ lại ông chồng cùng lũ trẻ ở nhà để tận hưởng một ngày nghỉ lễ thực sự là “nghỉ”, một mình hay bên chúng bạn.

Hoặc là thử bắt một chuyến xe bus đi từ điểm đầu tới điểm cuối cùng để nhìn ngắm người nam kẻ nữ và phố xá xe cộ ở một góc nhìn khác, tâm thế khác, thấy được sự đa dạng và khác biệt đang hòa vào nhau như thế nào.

Hoặc là nhuộm mái tóc bằng thứ màu lạ mắt, sắm một hình xăm đầu tiên trong đời hay tự chụp một bức ảnh bánh bèo chưa từng có trong vài chục năm xuất hiện trên đời.

Hoặc… gì cũng được. Miễn đó là điều mà bạn muốn làm và làm được thì thấy vui.

Người ta hay nói về năm mới và phụ nữ như một mối quan hệ thiệt thòi. Phụ nữ chúng ta cũng hay nghĩ rằng mình thiệt thòi. Rằng có quá nhiều định kiến và hủ tục, quá nhiều ràng buộc và trách nhiệm khiến chúng ta không có sự tự do. Nhưng phần nhiều, toàn chúng ta tình nguyện không có tự do.

Hai mươi hai mươi, phụ nữ có vui, năm mới mới thực sự an lành! - Ảnh 7.

Chúng ta không đi du lịch một mình vì sợ chồng con ở nhà sẽ không có ai lo liệu. Chúng ta không mặc chiếc váy sexy ra đường vì sợ chồng không hài lòng. Chúng ta không dám hẹn hò tinder vì sợ bị người khác đánh giá là thiếu đứng đắn. Chúng ta không dám chụp ảnh khỏa thân vì tự ti với thân hình đảo lộn số đo của siêu mẫu và sợ bị body shaming.

Những nỗi sợ vô hình ấy cuốn trôi chúng ta ra khỏi tuổi trẻ và làm những rạo rực khát khao đổi thay đầu năm mới cứ mãi trở thành khẩu hiệu trong tâm tưởng hay trong những trang nhật ký khai bút tuôn trào đêm giao thừa.

Chúng ta cứ tần ngần, dấm dứ, lần nữa với vô vàn e ngại không đâu. Trong lúc đó, những người xung quanh, đặc biệt là đàn ông, lại chẳng có chút bận lòng.

Một người phụ nữ than phiền trên mạng rằng, chị giữ mái tóc dài ngang eo suốt 15 năm kết hôn vì chồng chị bảo chỉ thích phụ nữ tóc đen dài. Chị đã nhiều lần định cắt, định nhuộm mà dù chị đẫy đà và da dẻ sẫm màu, mái tóc chỉ khiến chị thêm già nua. Rồi một lần chị cũng đánh liều theo sự rủ rê của bè bạn, chị xén tóc ngang vai. Chị rón rén về nhà, nem nép liếc chồng, nem nép chải gội. Anh im lặng chẵn ba ngày bằng một vẻ bình thản đến lạ thường. Tới tận cuối ngày thứ ba, trong một khoảnh khắc đụng chạm bất ngờ, anh ngạc nhiên hờ hững: “Ơ, em cắt tóc à.”

Câu chuyện dừng tại đó. Không một lời khen. Chẳng một lời chê. Cũng không một lời tra hỏi, bàn luận. Mái tóc của chị hóa ra chưa bao giờ nằm trong vòng bận tâm của anh. “Biết thế mình cắt nhuộm uốn sấy xén tém cạo trọc từ 15 năm trước”, chị tức tưởi, thổn thức vì chịu già xấu bao nhiêu năm trời bởi một niềm tin ngây thơ rằng mái tóc của mình là lẽ chồng yêu.

Lại nhớ chuyện “Vua Arthur và mụ phù thủy”, để giữ được tính mạng, vua Arthur phải tìm được lời giải cho câu hỏi: “Phụ nữ thực sự muốn gì?”. Chỉ có một người biết câu trả lời, đó là mụ phù thủy. Mụ bảo: “Phụ nữ muốn được tự quyết định mọi thứ trong cuộc sống”.

Có được chân lý sáng ngời ấy, chàng hiệp sĩ Gawain, cận vệ thân tín của vua Arthur, phải bán mình làm chồng mụ phù thủy gớm ghiếc. Trong đêm động phòng, mụ ta biến thành một cô gái xinh đẹp tuyệt trần cất giọng nói với Gawain rằng: “Trong một ngày, ta sẽ có nửa ngày trong hình hài phù thủy và nửa ngày trong hình hài công chúa. Chàng muốn ta làm công chúa ban ngày hay ban đêm?”.

Gawain hờ hững đáp: “Tùy nàng”. Chàng không mất quá nhiều thời gian để trả lời. Bởi chàng hiểu rõ, dù là công chúa ban ngày hay ban đêm, về bản chất mụ ta vẫn là phù thủy.

Nhưng mụ phù thủy khi nghe được câu trả lời ấy thì hân hoan tột độ. Mụ nghĩ rằng, Gawain là một người đàn ông đích thực, thấu hiểu chân lý “phụ nữ muốn tự quyết định mọi thứ trong cuộc sống”. Thế là mụ tự quyết định sẽ là công chúa cả ngày lẫn đêm để ban thưởng cho chàng.

Phụ nữ, dù đạt tới trình độ một phù thủy, hóa ra vẫn ngây thơ, cả tin như vậy đấy. 

Còn đàn ông, bạn nghĩ họ quan tâm sao?

Hai mươi hai mươi, phụ nữ có vui, năm mới mới thực sự an lành! - Ảnh 8.

Năm mới rồi, chẳng điều gì tốt đẹp hơn việc tập thói quen tự quyết định mọi thứ trong cuộc sống của mình. Cuộc sống của bạn tất nhiên là của bạn, đóng hay mở, xanh hay tím, trai Tây hay trai Ta, Đoàn Văn Hậu hay Huỳnh Tấn Sinh, đẹp kiểu H’Hen Niê hay Lương Thùy Linh, tất cả là do bạn lựa chọn. Và hãy lựa chọn vì mong muốn của chính mình thay vì chiều lòng người khác. Vì sự thật là họ không quan tâm đâu. Những lời bàn luận, đàm tiếu, càm ràm nếu có, chỉ đơn giản là để vui mồm thôi.

Năm nào cũng là năm mới, đó là sự sắp đặt của tạo hóa. Nhưng năm nào cũng sẽ là năm cũ nếu bạn cứ sắp đặt mãi một cuộc sống trôi theo niềm yêu nỗi buồn của chồng, của mẹ chồng, của bà cô bên chồng, của đồng nghiệp trái tính, của nhân viên nữ có nhan sắc nổi trội, của mụ hàng xóm lắm điều hay của crush không để mắt tới bạn. 

Sẽ không có phát khởi, không có tái sinh, không có lộc biếc nở bừng qua kẽ đốt, không có nụ hồng hé mở sớm mai, không có cỏ non hây hẩy đâm nhánh trên đất ẩm, không có con chuồn kim lượn lờ ngoài ao nước, không có đọt chuối phong tình hờ hững gọi gió xuân. Vạn vật hồn nhiên nảy nở, giao hoan, đơm hoa kết trái là nhờ chúng tự cho mình quyền quyết định về cách hiện diện trong vũ trụ. Đàn ông cũng thế. Và phụ nữ rất nên thế.

Năm mới rồi, nghĩ ngợi chi nhiều, đắn đo chi lắm. Than phiền, kỳ vọng, so đo, hằn học chỉ khiến năm mới nhanh cũ đi. Hãy thả lỏng bản thân, nghĩ về điều mình yêu thích và làm thôi. Bạn sẽ không ngờ được rằng, cho phép mình tự do làm thứ mình muốn lại dễ dàng đến vậy.

Nhưng đừng vội thầm trách mình ích kỷ nhé. Phụ nữ được làm điều mình muốn là người phụ nữ hạnh phúc. Mụ phù thủy được làm điều mình muốn là mụ phù thủy hạnh phúc (dù là phù thủy thì mụ ta vẫn là phụ nữ mà). Và khi mọi phụ nữ, bao gồm cả phù thủy, đều hạnh phúc thì đó là lúc thế giới được cứu rỗi.

Nói ngắn gọn là, khi được tự do làm điều mình thích, phụ nữ sẽ cứu cả thế giới.

Tất nhiên còn là cứu năm mới của nhân loại nữa. Phụ nữ mà không vui, năm mới sẽ muôn phần ảm đảm. Phụ nữ mà vui, năm mới mới thực sự an lành.

Hai mươi hai mươi, phụ nữ có vui, năm mới mới thực sự an lành! - Ảnh 9.

Real-life examples of shopping bots

Shoppers can browse a brand’s products, get product recommendations, ask questions, make purchases and checkout, and get automatic shipping updates all through Facebook Messenger. Many brands and retailers have turned to shopping bots to enhance various stages of the customer journey. Sadly, a shopping bot isn’t a robot you can send out to do your shopping for you. But for now, a shopping bot is an artificial intelligence (AI) that completes specific tasks. With shopping bots, customers can make purchases with minimal time and effort, enhancing the overall shopping experience.

But when bots target these margin-negative products, the customer acquisition goals of flash sales go unmet. All you achieve is low-to-negative margin sales without any of the benefits. The lifetime value of the grinch bot is not as valuable as a satisfied customer who regularly returns to buy additional products. First, you miss a chance to create a connection with a valuable customer. Hyped product launches can be a fantastic way to reward loyal customers and bring new customers into the fold. Shopping bots sever the relationship between your potential customers and your brand.

Additionally, these bots can be integrated with user accounts, allowing them to store preferences, sizes, and even payment details securely. This results in a faster checkout process, as the bot can auto-fill necessary details, reducing the hassle of manual data entry. By analyzing a user’s browsing history, past purchases, and even search queries, these bots can create a detailed profile of the user’s preferences. This round-the-clock availability ensures that customers always feel supported and valued, elevating their overall shopping experience. Gone are the days of scrolling endlessly through pages of products; these bots curate a personalized shopping list in an instant.

This is where shoppers will typically ask questions, read online reviews, view what the experience will look like, and ask further questions. They too use a shopping bot on their website that takes the user through every step of the customer journey. They can add items to carts, fill in shipping details, and even complete purchases, often used for high-demand items. However, for those who prioritize a seamless building experience and crave more integrations, ShoppingBotAI might just be your next best friend in the shopping bot realm.

Such proactive suggestions significantly reduce the time users spend browsing. Shopping bots, often referred to as retail bots or order bots, are software tools designed to automate the online shopping process.

Probably the most well-known type of ecommerce bot, scalping bots use unfair methods to get limited-availability and/or preferred goods or services. Shopping bots enabled by voice and text interfaces make online purchasing much more accessible. This leads to quick and accurate resolution of customer queries, contributing to a superior customer experience. Shopping bots have an edge over traditional retailers when it comes to customer interaction and problem resolution. One of the major advantages of bots over traditional retailers lies in the personalization they offer. The retail industry, characterized by stiff competition, dynamic demands, and a never-ending array of products, appears to be an ideal ground for bots to prove their mettle.

By analyzing search queries, past purchase history, and even browsing patterns, shopping bots can curate a list of products that align closely with what the user is seeking.

BIK is a customer conversation platform that helps businesses automate and personalize customer interactions across all channels, including Instagram and WhatsApp.

You can create bots for Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Skype, or build stand-alone apps through Microsoft’s open sourced Azure services and Bot Framework. Inspired by Yellow Pages, this bot offers purchasing interactions for everything from movie and airplane tickets to eCommerce and mobile recharges. You can also collect feedback from your customers by letting them rate their experience and share their opinions with your team. This will show you how effective the bots are and how satisfied your visitors are with them.

This means fewer steps to complete a purchase, reducing the chances of cart abandonment. They can also scout for the best shipping options, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery. Furthermore, with the rise of conversational commerce, many of the best shopping bots in 2023 are now equipped with chatbot functionalities. This allows users to interact with them in real-time, asking questions, seeking advice, or even getting styling tips for fashion products. Mindsay believes that shopping bots can help reduce response times and support costs while improving customer engagement and satisfaction.

How Do Customers and Merchants Benefit from Online Shopping Bots

This enables the bots to adapt and refine their recommendations in real-time, ensuring they remain relevant and engaging. Moreover, these bots are available 24/7, ensuring that user queries are addressed anytime, anywhere. Shopping bots ensure a hassle-free purchase journey by automating tasks and providing instant solutions. This level of precision ensures that users are always matched with products that are not only relevant but also of high quality. Moreover, these bots are not just about finding a product; they’re about finding the right product. They take into account user reviews, product ratings, and even current market trends to ensure that every recommendation is top-notch.

You can create a standalone survey, or you can collect feedback in small doses during customer interactions. Most recommendations it gave me were very solid in the category and definitely among the cheapest compared to similar products. Although it only gave 2-3 products at a time, I am sure you’ll appreciate the clutter-free recommendations. Latercase, the maker of slim phone cases, looked for a self-service platform that offered flexibility and customization, allowing it to build its own solutions. Shopping bots enable brands to drive a wide range of valuable use cases.

In the cat-and-mouse game of bot mitigation, your playbook can’t be based on last week’s attack. As you’ve seen, bots come in all shapes and sizes, and reselling is a very lucrative business. For every bot mitigation solution implemented, there are bot developers across the world working on ways to circumvent it. 45% of online businesses said bot attacks resulted in more website and IT crashes in 2022.

Instead of spending hours browsing through countless websites, these bots research, compare, and provide the best product options within seconds. This not only fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the consumer but also ensures that shopping online is as interactive and engaging as walking into a physical store. This lets eCommerce brands give their bot personality and adds authenticity to conversational commerce. BargainBot seeks to replace the old boring way of offering discounts by allowing customers to haggle the price. The bot can strike deals with customers before allowing them to proceed to checkout.

In-store merchants, on the other hand, can leverage shopping bots in their digital platforms to drive foot traffic to their physical locations. One of the standout features of shopping bots is their ability to provide tailored product suggestions. In 2023, as the e-commerce landscape becomes more saturated with countless products and brands, the role of the best shopping bots has never been more crucial.

You don’t have to tell it anything, just choose a category and then a product and the AI will start asking questions to find the right item. Shop.app AI by Shopify https://chat.openai.com/ has a chat panel on the right side and a shopping panel on the left. You can write your queries in the chat, and it will show results in the left panel.

For online merchants, this means a significant reduction in bounce rates. When customers find relevant products quickly, they’re more likely to stay on the site and complete a purchase. Navigating the e-commerce world without guidance can often feel like an endless voyage. With a plethora of choices at their fingertips, customers can easily get overwhelmed, leading to decision fatigue or, worse, abandoning their shopping journey altogether. They crave a shopping experience that feels unique to them, one where the products and deals presented align perfectly with their tastes and needs.

Chatbots also cater to consumers’ need for instant gratification and answers, whether stores use them to provide 24/7 customer support or advertise flash sales. This constant availability builds customer trust and increases eCommerce conversion rates. Jenny provides self-service chatbots intending to ensure that businesses serve all their customers, not just a select few. The no-code chatbot may be used as a standalone solution or alongside live chat applications such as Zendesk, Facebook Messenger, SpanEngage, among others. Verloop is a conversational AI platform that strives to replicate the in-store assistance experience across digital channels. Users can access various features like multiple intent recognition, proactive communications, and personalized messaging.

They streamline operations, enhance customer journeys, and contribute to your bottom line. Online customers usually expect immediate responses to their inquiries. However, it’s humanly impossible to provide round-the-clock assistance. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. While physical stores give the freedom to ‘try before you buy,’ online shopping misses out on this personal touch. One of the significant benefits that shopping bots contribute is facilitating a fast and easy checkout process.

You don’t want to miss out on this broad audience segment by having a shopping bot that misbehaves on smaller screens or struggles to integrate with mobile interfaces. This shift is due to a number of benefits that these bots bring to the table for merchants, both online and in-store. The customer’s ability to interact with products is a key factor that marks the difference between online and brick-and-mortar shopping. When a customer lands at the checkout stage, the bot readily fills in the necessary details, removing the need for manual data input every time you’re concluding a purchase. This vital consumer insight allows businesses to make informed decisions and improve their product offerings and services continually. Ranging from clothing to furniture, this bot provides recommendations for almost all retail products.

Whether an intentional DDoS attack or a byproduct of massive bot traffic, website crashes and slowdowns are terrible for any retailer. They lose you sales, shake the trust of your customers, and expose your systems to security breaches. So it’s not difficult to see how they overwhelm web application infrastructure, leading to site crashes and slowdowns.

Theo thông tin của rất nhiều khách hàng không may sử dụng dịch vụ của công ty tài chính COMB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB, thì họ liên tục bị điện thoại khủng bố người nhà và cả bạn bè trên Facebook, mặc dù khoản vay chưa đến hạn thanh toán. Ví dụ bạn có khoản vay 20 phải đóng hàng tháng thì từ ngày 10 đến ngày 20 bạn sẽ liên tục bị gọi điện ngày 2-3 cuộc nhắc nợ, nếu khách hàng cảm thấy phiền không nghe thì họ sẽ tìm thông tin của bạn bè người thân trên facebook rồi gọi điện làm phiền. Theo như nhiều người sử dụng các dịch vụ tài chính thì chưa có dịch vụ tài chính nào có kiểu nhắc nợ bỉ ổi như công ty tài chính ComB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB. Các công ty tài chính chỉ gọi điện nhắc nợ nhiều lần khi khách hàng đã quá ngày thanh toán mà chưa hoàn thành còn trước đó họ chỉ gọi 1 cuộc để nhắc nhở khách hàng mà thôi. Co những khách hàng lịch sử trả nợ rất tốt, chưa bao giờ bị quá hạn vẫn bị khủng bố như thường.
