The implementation tools include HTML, CSS, JavaScript (for the interactive/friendly interface), PHP and MySQL (for the backend and data management). The system also includes a chatbot integrated via FastBots API, which helps users with common queries and navigation. Another key feature is the content-based filtering recommendation system, which suggests products to users based on their browsing history. In conclusion, this AI-powered e-commerce system provides an efficient solution for improving supermarket operations in a university setting. This helps make shopping easier, faster, and more efficient by providing an online platform where one can browse and purchase products without hassle. The result shows how AI and e-commerce can be used to enhance retail efficiency and customer satisfaction. Future direction could incorporate integrating mobile payment options, enhancing the AI features for better product recommendations, and introducing delivery tracking to further improve shopping experience.
