The problem it solves

Shoppers browsing your store often have quick questions or want help finding a product, but you can't staff live chat around the clock. Without an immediate answer, they leave the page instead of buying.

Who it fits

Shopify store owners who want to offer instant help without live staff.

How it works

  1. A customer opens the chat widget and sends a message
  2. AI interprets what they're asking for
  3. The live product catalog is checked for relevant items
  4. An interactive reply with product details or checkout options is generated
  5. The customer gets an answer or completes checkout in the chat
What you get

Shoppers who get an instant answer instead of leaving

Shoppers get instant answers to their questions and can check out right inside the chat without ever leaving the conversation.

What you get

An embeddable chat assistant customers use to browse, ask questions, and check out.

What you need

A Shopify account and an OpenAI API key.

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.
