Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCarti is an AI shopping assistant that sells for you 24/7. It’s far more than a chatbot. Like an in-store AI sales assistant, it reaches out when a shopper hesitates, makes personalized recommendations, compares products, and adds them to cart in chat. It learns your catalog, policies, and reviews to answer questions and close sales, flagging anything it can’t answer so you only fill it in once.
Most visitors leave without asking, and you never know why. ValerIA, your AI assistant, talks to them on Live Chat, WhatsApp or Telegram, by text or voice, in their language. She asks questions, gives product recommendations, compares items, checks stock, suggests upsells and builds the cart. She tracks orders and hands off to your team. You control catalog, promotions and priorities, your Data.
