Built for E-Commerce, Merchandising & Store Operations Leaders

The Problem

Why manual triage doesn't scale

Shoppers Cannot Find What They Need

Site search returns irrelevant results. Product pages lack the detail shoppers need to buy confidently. Customers leave without purchasing.

Up to 30% of e-commerce site searches return zero or irrelevant results

Inventory Visibility Is Fragmented

Customers want to know if a product is available at their local store, online, or for same-day delivery — but inventory data is siloed across systems.

71% of shoppers check online availability before visiting a store

Product Questions Go Unanswered

Shoppers have questions about sizing, compatibility, materials, and use cases that are not answered on the product page — leading to hesitation and abandonment.

Staff Cannot Cover Every Customer

In-store associates are stretched thin and cannot provide personalized product guidance to every shopper, especially during peak hours.

Capabilities

Everything you need for intelligent triage

AI Shopping Assistant

Conversational AI that answers product questions, recommends items based on needs, and guides shoppers to the right product — on web, app, and in-store kiosks.

Real-Time Inventory Lookup

  • Store-level inventory availability checking
  • Online, ship-to-store, and same-day delivery options
  • Low-stock and back-in-stock notification triggers

Product Discovery Engine

AI-powered search and browsing that understands natural language queries, shopper intent, and product attributes to surface the most relevant results.

  • Natural language search with intent understanding
  • Visual similarity and attribute-based recommendations
  • Personalized results based on browse and purchase history

Cross-Sell & Bundle Recommendations

AI suggests complementary products, frequently bought-together bundles, and accessories to increase basket size and customer satisfaction.

  • Context-aware cross-sell at point of decision
  • Bundle pricing and promotional offer display
  • Post-purchase accessory and replenishment suggestions

How It Works

Three steps to automated triage

Step 1

Ask & Discover

Shoppers ask product questions via chat, search, or in-store kiosk. AI understands intent and surfaces the most relevant products and answers.

Step 2

Check & Recommend

AI checks real-time inventory across channels, confirms availability, and recommends complementary products and fulfillment options.

Step 3

Convert & Learn

Analytics track search-to-purchase conversion, popular queries, and product gaps — informing merchandising, content, and inventory decisions.
