AI chatbots for e-commerce
RAG catalog assistant + support deflection · live in 4–6 weeks.
E-commerce chatbots have the cleanest AI ROI math. WISMO, returns, sizing, compatibility — all repetitive, all RAG-able, all measurably defleectable. We've built variations of this for D2C brands and mid-market e-com clients.
Signals you're a fit
- 200+ inbound support tickets / week, 60%+ are repeat questions
- PDP conversion stalls because customers can't find a clear answer
- Support team works weekends because the queue never empties

Phase 3
Eval suite + observability from day one
Weekly eval replay. Cost per conversation tracked per user. Hallucination rate measured continuously.
Timeline + budget
Timeline
4–6 weeks for v1, retainer for ongoing tuning
