Managed AI Support Agent for Shopify Brands

Sell Shopify brands a managed AI support agent you set up and operate for them.

In plain English

Online store brands can hire a managed AI helper that answers shoppers about orders, returns, and addresses. The service connects to the store's records, and unusual questions are passed to a person along with the full story. Brands pay a monthly plan with a limit on messages, because a busy shop gets more questions than a small team can type. The AI writes most of the replies and looks up orders. The person running the service still does a good amount of the work, including setup, hard cases, and care for each account.
