How it sells itself

Regards Kim helps online stores move through customer emails faster with AI-powered inbox drafting. It connects Gmail with your Shopify orders, customer details, tracking updates, and store policies, then prepares accurate draft replies for the support messages that usually slow your team down.

ShieldDesk brings messages from your contact form, support email, WhatsApp and customer account pages into one inbox. It filters spam, reads the matching order and your policies, and drafts a reply in your store's voice. "Where is my order?" is answered automatically from live tracking, with a countdown you can stop.

Key points
  • Drafts replies using your live Shopify data
  • Pulls order, tracking, and shipping info automatically
  • Drafts replies for returns, refunds, and shipping questions
  • Learns from your edits to match your voice over time
  • AI classifies every message by intent automatically
  • Draft replies generated using real order history
  • Order status queries auto-resolved with live tracking
  • Spam and abuse messages detected and filtered out
