Abstract: While conversion rates on retail websites are still consi- dered as low and while the customer experience of online purchase is often perceived as lacking human warmth and while consumer services collapse under information and complaints' requests, a solution exists. It is based on the in- tegration of a Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA) into the other customer relationship channels. A critical assessment of In- telligent Virtual Agents' performance is first made. They pre- sent qualities bound to the technological progress but they remain perfectible. Considering this assessment, the assets of the IVA in terms of customer relationship - in particular their influence on consumer outcomes, their role in the hu- manization of the website and the improvement of service quality, their integration into the multichannel customer re- lationship system and the control of operational costs - are then discussed.
