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

The problem it solves

Running an online store means juggling customer messages, abandoned carts, inventory checks, and reviews all at once, and something always slips. You end up reacting to problems instead of catching them early.

Who it fits

Shopify store owners or small e-commerce teams handling support and operations without a big staff.

How it works

  1. Customer messages, cart abandonments, and store events trigger the relevant module automatically
  2. AI answers customer questions using your FAQs and order data, escalating to a person on Slack when needed
  3. Abandoned carts trigger a recovery email or text with an incentive
  4. Low stock and negative reviews trigger internal alerts to your team
  5. Every interaction is logged so you have a record of what happened
What you get

Carts, questions, and stock issues watched around the clock

Your store gets round-the-clock coverage for customer questions, abandoned carts, low stock, and reviews that need attention.

What you get

Automated customer replies, cart recovery messages, and internal alerts, with a logged record of each interaction.

What you need

A Shopify store, an OpenAI API key, and accounts for Slack, Notion, email, and SMS if you use those modules.

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.
