The problem it solves

Customers message you at all hours asking about sizes, prices, and stock, and typing out the same answers eats up your day. Orders come in through scattered chats, so details get lost or double-booked. You want to sell around the clock without hiring someone to sit on the phone.

Who it fits

E-commerce or retail store owners who sell and take orders through a chat app.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a text or voice message asking about a product
  2. Voice messages are transcribed to text automatically
  3. AI searches your product catalog for accurate prices, brands, and details
  4. AI replies conversationally, remembering earlier messages in the chat
  5. New orders are recorded automatically in a spreadsheet
What you get

Orders logged and questions answered by chat

Customers get quick answers to product questions and their orders logged automatically, whether they type or send a voice message.

What you get

Instant, accurate answers to customer questions and an automatically updated order log.

What you need

A messaging bot account, an OpenAI account, a Google Sheets account, and a vector database for your product catalog.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
