How it sells itself

BitoChat installs an AI chat assistant on your storefront that answers customer questions using your store's own products, pages, and policies. It gives instant, accurate answers around the clock and reduces support tickets. The app captures visitor leads, logs every conversation, and shows analytics in your admin dashboard. Customize the widget's look and launch it through a theme app embed — no code required.

ShopAssist AI scans your Shopify store in 60 seconds, finds every reason customers aren't buying, and shows you revenue impact. Most merchants never know why customers leave without buying. ShopAssist AI changes that — it detects conversion blockers across all your products and policies, answers customer questions 24/7 with store-specific AI chat, and attributes every influenced purchase directly to the conversation…
