From Orders to Agents: Designing AI Chat Support for Online Stores
Apogee is an AI support chatbot platform designed specifically for ecommerce businesses. It enables online stores to deploy a smart, branded AI assistant that can answer customer questions, track orders, and even help users add items to cart and place orders, all within the chat experience.
Store admins can connect their inventory and order management systems to power real-time responses. Meanwhile, end users engage with the assistant via a small widget embedded on the store website, similar to live chat systems but with full AI capabilities.
The product also supports handoffs to human agents, giving users the best of both automation and empathy.
