See every featureThis AI chatbot handles sales and customer support in one widget. It answers product, shipping, and order questions 24/7, trained on your products, policies, and pages. Shoppers get AI recommendations, comparisons, a gift finder, and add-to-cart in chat. The same assistant runs on WhatsApp with tap-to-buy. Accuracy guardrails keep every answer true to your store data, and a dashboard shows results.
