How it sells itself

BotDesk is an AI chat assistant that learns your store automatically. On install it scans your store's public products and pages and builds its own knowledge, so it answers shopper questions about products, sizing, shipping, and policies in your store's own words. When it cannot answer, or a shopper wants a person, it collects their contact details as a lead.

Most of what shoppers ask is already answered somewhere in your store. The shipping policy, the returns page, the product descriptions. They ask anyway, because nobody reads it all. DeskClone reads what you have written and answers from it, in your storefront. You do not write a script or keep a list of questions up to date. When it does not have the answer, it hands the customer to your support address.

Key points
  • Trains on your store's products and pages automatically in about five minutes.
  • Answers product, shipping, and FAQ questions 24/7 in your store's own words.
  • Captures visitor contact details as leads when you're offline or it can't answer
  • Answers from your own policies, pages and product descriptions.
  • No list of questions to write, and none to keep up to date.
  • Read your store again whenever your policies or products change.
  • Hands the chat to your team with the full conversation attached
