Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: in retail, timing is everything. A customer browsing your site at 2 AM might be ready to buy that limited-edition sneaker, but if your support is offline, poof—sale gone. At AIQ Labs, we craft bespoke AI chatbots that integrate directly with your Shopify or WooCommerce setup. Trained on your product catalog, order history, and FAQs, these bots deliver instant, accurate responses. No cookie-cutter templates. We map it to your workflow, ensuring it handles everything from tracking shipments to suggesting bundle deals. You're probably thinking, 'What about complex issues?' Our system knows when to escalate to your team, keeping satisfaction high without the endless email chains.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Wins for Your Store
Never Miss a Lead, Even at Midnight
Never Miss a Lead, Even at Midnight: Picture this: a shopper in a different time zone asks about size availability for a trending hoodie. Your AI chatbot responds instantly, pulling live stock data from your Shopify backend and securing the sale with a personalized upsell. We've seen stores recover up to 25% of abandoned carts this way within the first 3 months, turning potential losses into revenue spikes during off-peak hours like 2 AM international traffic.
Boost Satisfaction with Instant, Personalized Help
Boost Satisfaction with Instant, Personalized Help: Let's be honest, slow responses kill trust in e-commerce. Our bots offer tailored advice, like recommending weather-appropriate outerwear based on current trends and the customer's location data from their cart. Clients report a 40% jump in positive reviews within 6 months, as customers feel seen and served around the clock, no matter the season—perfect for holiday gift hunts or summer wardrobe refreshes.
Scale Support Without Hiring More Staff
Scale Support Without Hiring More Staff: During Cyber Monday madness, your team can't be everywhere. The AI handles 70% of routine queries—like return policies for apparel exchanges or promo code validation for bundle deals—freeing humans for high-value chats on custom orders. This cuts support costs by 35% over a year while ensuring zero leads slip through the cracks, even for international shipping inquiries.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose dozens of inquiries after 6 PM, especially during back-to-school rushes for our organic cotton tees. Now, it answers real-time stock questions for our kids' clothing line instantly via our WooCommerce integration, and we've cut response times from hours to seconds. Sales from late-night chats alone added $15K last quarter, with a 20% uplift in repeat purchases from busy parents."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Manager, TrendyTots Apparel
"Our beauty store gets bombarded with shade-matching queries on weekends for our vegan lipstick line. The custom bot integrates with our inventory API perfectly, guiding customers to the right products 24/7 using AR try-on features. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps—our conversion rate jumped 28% in the first month, and cart abandonment dropped by 15% during peak promo events."
Mike Rivera
E-commerce Director, GlowEssence Cosmetics
"Holidays were a nightmare with unanswered shipping questions for our urban streetwear drops leading to refunds and chargebacks. AIQ built us a chatbot that checks UPS and FedEx status in real-time and even suggests faster alternatives like next-day air. We've reduced complaints by half and kept our Net Promoter Score above 80 since implementation three months ago, saving us thousands in reversal fees."

Customer Experience Lead, UrbanGear Outfitters

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI chatbot integrate with my existing e-commerce platform like Shopify?
We make integration smooth and custom. Our team connects the chatbot directly to your Shopify API, pulling live data on orders, inventory, and customer profiles. No clunky plugins that slow your site. For instance, if a customer asks about a dress's availability, it checks stock in real-time and even suggests alternatives if it's low. We've done this for dozens of stores, ensuring it fits your theme without code conflicts. Setup takes about 2-4 weeks, and we handle all the heavy lifting so your developers aren't bogged down.
Can the chatbot handle seasonal spikes, like Black Friday traffic?
Absolutely, it's built to scale. Unlike basic bots that buckle under load, ours uses robust frameworks to manage thousands of chats per hour. During last holiday season, one client saw a 5x traffic surge, and our system handled 92% of queries without a hitch, resolving issues like promo code errors instantly. We stress-test it against your expected volumes and optimize for speed, ensuring your store stays responsive when it matters most—no lost sales from downtime.
What if a customer has a complicated question the bot can't answer?
Smart handoffs are key. The AI is trained to recognize limits—like a custom engraving request—and seamlessly transfers to your support team via email, chat, or ticket. It even pre-fills context, so agents pick up right where the bot left off. In practice, this reduces resolution time by 50% for our clients. You're not replacing humans; you're empowering them to focus on what they do best, while the bot tackles the routine stuff around the clock.
How do we train the chatbot on our specific products and brand voice?
We start by ingesting your data—product catalogs, FAQs, past support tickets, even social media tone. Then, our AI engineers fine-tune the model to match your vibe, whether it's fun and trendy for fashion or straightforward for electronics. For a recent boutique client, we trained it on their handmade jewelry details, so it could describe materials accurately. The process is iterative: we test with real scenarios and refine based on feedback, ensuring it sounds like your team, not a robot.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer data in retail?
Security is non-negotiable in e-commerce. We build with end-to-end encryption, compliant with PCI DSS for payments and GDPR for privacy. Customer info like order details stays protected, with no storage of sensitive data unless you specify. We've audited our systems for retail clients dealing with high-value transactions, preventing breaches that could tank trust. Plus, it's yours to own, so you control access—no third-party risks from shared platforms.
How quickly can we see results after launching the chatbot?
Fast—often within days. Once live, it starts capturing after-hours interactions immediately, with metrics like response time and conversion lifts visible in your dashboard. One store we worked with saw a 20% uptick in completed checkouts from bot-assisted queries in the first week. We provide ongoing tweaks to maximize impact, aligning with your sales cycles, so you're not waiting months for value.
