Background of the Study

AI-powered chatbots have transformed customer service marketing by offering efficient, round-the-clock assistance to consumers while also reducing operational costs for businesses. These intelligent systems use artificial intelligence to understand and respond to customer inquiries in real time, thus enhancing user experience and fostering brand loyalty (Ifeoma & Okeke, 2024). First Bank of Nigeria, a leading financial institution in the country, has integrated AI-powered chatbots into its customer service strategy to cater to its vast customer base in Borno State. The bank’s chatbot, often named after the brand or as "FirstChat," assists users with a wide range of services such as account inquiries, transaction tracking, and product information (Olumide & Tijjani, 2023).

Borno State, located in the northeastern part of Nigeria, faces specific challenges such as economic instability, infrastructure limitations, and a large rural population. However, with the increasing adoption of smartphones and mobile banking, AI-powered chatbots present a promising solution for bridging the gap in customer service accessibility. Through their 24/7 availability, chatbots offer customers the convenience of immediate responses, eliminating long wait times or the need for in-person visits to bank branches, which can be particularly challenging in rural areas of Borno (Akinlolu & Tijani, 2023).

This study will examine the role of AI-powered chatbots in enhancing customer service marketing for First Bank in Borno State, focusing on how these chatbots influence customer satisfaction, brand perception, and overall service efficiency.

Statement of the Problem

While AI-powered chatbots are widely regarded as effective tools for improving customer service, there is limited research on their impact within the Nigerian banking sector, particularly in states with unique socio-economic conditions such as Borno State. The effectiveness of these chatbots in terms of customer engagement, satisfaction, and brand loyalty remains underexplored, especially in regions where access to physical banking infrastructure is limited. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the level of consumer trust in AI-driven customer service solutions, and how this influences the adoption and success of such technologies.

This study seeks to fill this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of AI-powered chatbots in enhancing customer service marketing for First Bank in Borno State, particularly in terms of customer engagement and brand loyalty.
