Agent Capabilities

A detailed look at what your AI agents can do to help customers and drive sales.

Natural Conversations

Agents engage in human-like conversations, understanding context and maintaining conversation history.

Features

  • Context awareness: Remembers what was discussed earlier in the conversation
  • Follow-up handling: Understands "that one", "the red one", "it" references
  • Conversation summarization: Compresses long conversations to maintain context
  • Natural responses: Avoids robotic, templated replies

Example Conversation

Customer: "Do you have any running shoes?"

Agent: Shows running shoe options

Customer: "What about in blue?"

Agent: Filters to blue running shoes (understands context)

Customer: "How much is the Nike one?"

Agent: Shows price for the blue Nike running shoe

Semantic Product Search

Agents search your catalog by meaning, not just keywords. Customers can describe what they want naturally.

How It Works

  • • Product descriptions are converted to semantic embeddings
  • • Customer queries are matched against embeddings
  • • Finds products by meaning, not just exact keywords
  • • Understands synonyms and related concepts

Search Examples

"Something for a rainy day"Umbrellas, rain jackets, waterproof boots
"Gift for my mom"Popular gift items, jewelry, spa products
"Under $50"Products filtered by price

Multi-Language Support

Agents automatically detect and respond in the customer's language.

How It Works

Order Status

Customers can check their order status by asking the agent.

Example

Customer: "Where's my order?"

Agent: "I found your order #1234. It's currently being prepared and will be ready for pickup at 3:00 PM today. I'll message you when it's ready!"

Current Limitations

While agents are powerful, there are some things they can't do:

  • Order modifications: Can't change orders after they're placed (requires merchant action)
  • Refund processing: Can explain policy but can't process refunds
  • Complex negotiations: Doesn't haggle or offer custom discounts
  • Human escalation: Can hand off to support, but merchant-only actions still require human follow-through
