See every featureBuddy AI powers your Shopify store with 4 AI agents. The Sales Agent recommends products and upsells shoppers. The Support Agent answers live chat questions 24/7 and offers human handoff via WhatsApp, Instagram, and other channels. The Conversion Agent re-engages hesitant shoppers with margin-protected offers. The Insights Agent analyzes conversations to reveal customer needs and growth opportunities.
Blanket discount codes give away margin to shoppers who would have paid more, and you can't negotiate with every visitor yourself. Flux adds an AI agent to your product pages. When a shopper hesitates, it invites them to talk price, then negotiates in real time in your brand voice, never below the hidden price floor you set. Offers under your floor are saved for you to approve or decline.
