200+ pre-built actions let the agent issue refunds, process returns, swap products, pause subscriptions, and update orders directly in Shopify, Stripe, Recharge, AfterShip, and other connected systems.
Responses are generated from live catalog data, order records, and your policy documents rather than frozen training data, with citations so customers and teams can verify the source.
Set per-action limits, escalation conditions, approved tone, sign-offs, and banned phrases so every reply stays on-brand and inside the rules you define.
Chat, voice, email, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs and comments, Messenger, and contact forms flow into one shared inbox where humans and AI collaborate.
