Bring grounded ecommerce support to WhatsApp conversations
A WhatsApp AI agent can answer approved ecommerce questions, collect intent to book a callback, and hand off anything outside scope.
What is ecommerce ai agents automation?
An ecommerce WhatsApp AI agent uses grounded content about catalog facts, shipping policies, return windows, and store hours for FAQs and intake, then applies explicit handoff rules for warranty rulings outside policy or payment disputes requiring humans. Teams often combine reminder broadcasts with an AI agent that handles replies and new questions inside WhatsApp. Ground answers with /products/chat-agents knowledge while deploying on the WhatsApp channel.
