That's why we built it differently

Finds products from a photo

It searches your catalog by name, category or need, and by photo when image search is on.

Answers from your catalog

It answers formats, sizes, uses and availability with your catalog's data and your policies, without making things up.

Adds items that go together

It suggests sets of products that complement each other and shares the link to buy them.

Hands off, keeps the sale

When a question needs a person, such as a delivery to confirm, it passes the conversation to your team.

The right Playbook for every question

In one conversation, each question is answered by the Playbook that knows how. And what needs a person reaches your team.

Illustration: in the Inbox, the Smart Recommender recommends sneakers, the supervisor passes a question about shipping to Instant Answers, and the address change reaches Laura, on the Support team, with the AI summary.
  1. Recommends from your catalog

    The Smart Recommender searches your catalog and answers with the products that suit each customer.

  2. The supervisor picks the Playbook

    It reads the intent of every message. A question about shipping or policies goes to Instant Answers, if you have it on.

  3. Your team takes what needs a person

    It says so and hands the conversation to the person or team you choose, who follows it from the Inbox.

  4. It all stays in your Inbox

    You see every AI conversation and reply whenever you want. When you do, the AI pauses for that customer.

FAQ

Worth knowing before you turn it on.

What is an AI product recommender?

An assistant that helps your customers find and choose products in the conversation: it understands what they want, searches your catalog and shows them the options that fit, with their details.

How does it find the products?

It searches your catalog by name, category, attributes or needs, and by photo when image search is available. It recommends with product cards or links when the channel allows it.

Which channels does it answer on?

Your site chat, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, and SMS where available. It can answer on all your incoming channels or only on the ones you choose.

What does it need to start?

Your catalog or eCommerce connected, with up-to-date names, descriptions, images, prices and stock; your channels ready; and your policies, payment and shipping details loaded so it can answer with them.

Can it take orders or payments?

No. It explains how to buy and pay, but it doesn't create orders, reserve products or process payments.

Can it offer discounts?

Yes, within your limits: it can combine your store's offers with AI incentives of up to 5%, 10%, 15% or 20%, use only your promotions, use a coupon created in Hellotext or offer no discount. It doesn't make offers up: writing one in its instructions doesn't create a coupon.

What does it do when it doesn't have the answer?

It asks a question to better understand what the customer wants, or hands the conversation to a person or team at your store. It doesn't make up links, prices, discounts or availability.

Does it also handle orders and complaints?

It doesn't handle order status, complaints, refunds or cancellations. In those cases it hands off to your team or to the Playbook that handles them.

How do I measure its results?

The Playbook report shows conversion, attributed revenue and revenue per trigger, average order value, time to purchase and a products breakdown.

Which plan includes it?

It's available from the Small plan, which includes 8 eCommerce Playbooks.
