Customer Support

AI chatbot for in-chat product recommendations

Use an AI chat experience as a sales-assist layer during support conversations to recommend products when customers ask what to buy, with the goal of improving conversion from chats into purchases.

Why the human is still essential here

A human must define recommendation rules, ensure product data is correct, and review outcomes to prevent misleading advice and protect the customer experience.

Is Anyone Else Struggling With AI Customer Support Bots?

I added an AI chatbot to my store hoping it would help with support and sales, but it’s been frustrating. The bot often gives wrong answers , which confuses customers. It also can’t recommend products when people ask what to buy. And even when users start a chat, the conversation rarely converts into a purchase . It feels more like a basic FAQ tool than a real sales assistant. Anyone else dealing with this?
