AI CHATBOT FOR A STORE
AI chatbot for an online store: it answers customers based on your store.
Customers ask about delivery, returns, specifications and order status at any hour. I prepare an AI assistant for a WooCommerce store that answers from product descriptions, the terms and the FAQ, shows the source of the answer and hands the conversation to a person when it is not sure.
I build this to order, around your rules. Describe your project and I will reply with questions and a preliminary quote, usually within one business day.
- Answers from the store's sources
- Help choosing a product
- Handoff to a person
WHEN IT HELPS
The same questions come back every day
Typical problems with handling questions in a store.
Repetitive questions
Delivery, returns, invoices and availability come back in emails and in chat.
Questions outside working hours
A customer who does not get an answer right away often buys elsewhere.
A hard product choice
A large catalogue and technical specifications make a decision hard without a conversation.
Fear of a “making things up” bot
An assistant that invents answers does more harm than having none.
What an AI assistant in a store can do
We set the scope after going through your materials and customer questions. I start with what really comes back most often.
- 01
Answers from your materials
The terms, FAQ, product descriptions and manuals as a knowledge base, with the source shown under the answer.
- 02
Help choosing a product
Questions about specifications and use lead to products in your catalogue.
- 03
Order status
After verifying the order number and email, the assistant can read the status from WooCommerce, if you decide to switch this on.
- 04
Limits and safety
The assistant answers within the store's scope, does not reveal other customers' data and does not promise anything outside the terms.
- 05
Handoff to a person
When an answer is missing, the conversation goes to the team by email or a form, together with its context.
- 06
Review and improvement
The list of unanswered questions shows what is missing in the store's content.
SEE FOR YOURSELF
Ask the assistant of a tea store
Choose a question or write your own. Ask also about something the store does not describe and see how the assistant behaves then.
The demo requires JavaScript.
This is a mockup: the store, products and answers are fictitious and prepared in advance, with no language model, and the questions are not sent anywhere. In a real implementation the assistant answers from your store's materials.
This is just an example. I will build it around your case.
You do not need a specification. A few sentences about what should work is enough.
What the rollout looks like
- 01
Collecting the sources of knowledge
I collect the terms, the FAQ, product descriptions and real customer questions from emails and chat.
- 02
Rules and limits
We agree what the assistant answers, what it does not do and when it hands the conversation to a person.
- 03
Build and tests on customer questions
I build the assistant and check it on real questions, including the hard ones and those that have no answer.
- 04
Launch and fixes
We switch the assistant on and for the first weeks review the conversations, filling gaps in the content.
