AI for Ecommerce

Your store runs 24/7.
Your team doesn't have to.

Abandoned carts, order queries, review requests, inventory alerts, monthly reporting. High-volume, repetitive work that costs you revenue when it's slow and costs you hours when it's manual. AI handles it automatically.

Where revenue leaks

Most ecommerce stores leave money on the table

Not because of bad products or poor marketing. Because the follow-up is slow, the responses are inconsistent, and the manual work piles up faster than a small team can handle it.

🛒
Abandoned carts left unrecoveredOn average, 70% of online shopping carts get abandoned. Most stores send one generic reminder email — or none at all. A well-timed, personalised recovery sequence changes that.
💬
Customer queries backing upWhere's my order? Can I exchange this? Do you ship to X? Every query gets answered eventually, but slowly. Slow responses cost you reviews, repeat purchases, and word-of-mouth.
⭐
Reviews never requestedHappy customers rarely leave reviews unprompted. Unhappy ones do. Without a systematic post-purchase review request, your store's rating doesn't reflect your actual customer satisfaction.
📊
Reporting built manually every monthSales by product, returns, top channels, repeat purchase rate. Pulling these from Shopify or WooCommerce and building a report takes hours that could go into running the business.

"The stores growing fastest aren't the ones spending most on ads. They're the ones recovering the most from what they already have. Better follow-up, faster responses, more reviews. All of it is automatable."

Where the real growth lever is in ecommerce

Every one of these problems has a specific, buildable automation behind it. The question isn't whether it can be done. It's how much revenue you've left sitting while it hasn't been.

Abandoned cart sequences can recover 10–20% of lost sales with the right timing and messaging
Customer queries can be answered instantly by an AI agent that knows your products, policies, and shipping
Post-purchase review requests can run automatically at the right moment after delivery confirmation
Monthly store reports can be generated from your platform data without anyone building them manually
Low stock alerts and reorder triggers can run automatically so you never miss a sale due to inventory
The recovery opportunity

What you're losing right now

Most ecommerce automation focuses on acquisition. The faster return is in recovering what you've already paid to bring to your store.

Common questions

Things ecommerce stores usually ask us

Which platforms do you work with?+
Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, and most other major platforms. We connect via APIs or webhooks rather than asking you to migrate. During the audit we confirm exactly what's connectable for your specific setup.
Won't customers find automated messages impersonal?+
Not if they're written well. The difference between a good automated message and a bad one is personalisation and timing, not whether a human sent it. A message that references the exact product someone left in their cart, sent at the right moment, feels more attentive than a generic "don't forget us" blast.
Can the customer service AI handle complex queries?+
It handles the queries that make up 80% of your volume: order status, shipping timelines, product questions, exchange policies. When something genuinely needs a human, it flags the conversation and routes it to your team with context already assembled. Your team only deals with the exceptions.
What about B2B ecommerce stores with account-based customers?+
B2B ecommerce actually benefits more from automation in some ways. Account-specific pricing, repeat order reminders, credit limit alerts, account manager briefings. The AIOS can be configured for B2B workflows specifically, and we'd map that out in the audit.
How long does it take to get up and running?+
Most stores are live within 2 weeks. The audit is 30 minutes. The build takes 3 to 7 days. One day for installation and testing on your live data. You're usually seeing recovered carts and automated responses within the first week of going live.
What does it cost?+
Scoped after the audit based on what we build. The audit is free. For most ecommerce stores, abandoned cart recovery alone covers the investment within the first month. You'll have a clear proposal before anything is agreed.
