Rep AI is a conversational AI platform designed for e-commerce businesses, primarily those running on Shopify. It deploys an AI-driven chat assistant on storefronts that proactively engages visitors based on behavioral signals, aiming to reduce bounce rates and increase conversions. The assistant can answer product questions, guide shoppers through the catalog, handle objections, and recommend relevant items. Rep AI uses a behavioral AI layer to determine the optimal moment to initiate a conversation with a visitor who appears likely to leave. The platform also supports post-purchase interactions and can handle customer support queries such as order tracking and returns. Merchants can train the AI on their own product catalog, brand voice, and FAQs. Analytics dashboards provide insight into conversation performance, revenue attributed to AI interactions, and shopper behavior. Rep AI integrates natively with Shopify and connects with several third-party tools commonly used in e-commerce stacks.
