AI chatbot that answers order and shipping questions for your store

It verifies the customer by email, pulls their real order and shipping status, and answers policy questions instantly.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Customers constantly ask where their order is or what your return policy says, and answering the same questions over and over eats up your support team's day. When you're small, you may not have anyone dedicated to handling this around the clock.

Who it fits

WooCommerce store owners who need to handle order and policy questions without staffing full-time support.

How it works

  1. A customer starts a chat and asks about their order or a policy
  2. The chatbot verifies their identity by matching their email to the order
  3. It looks up real-time order and shipping status from your store
  4. For policy or FAQ questions, it answers using your stored return and shipping policies
  5. If the request is too complex, it hands the conversation to a human on Telegram
What you get

Customer questions answered instantly without your team

Customers get instant answers about their order and shipping status, with anything complicated handed off smoothly to your support team.

What you get

An instant chat reply with order status or policy information, or a handoff to a human agent.

What you need

A WooCommerce store, an OpenAI API key, Google Drive for your policy documents, and a Telegram account for escalations.

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.
