What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose so many calls after 6 p.m., especially around Christmas when folks hunt for unique stocking stuffers. Now, the voice agent handles inquiries about our handmade ornaments flawlessly—it even suggested add-ons like gift wrapping based on our real-time inventory. Sales from evening calls jumped 28% last season during the two-week holiday rush, and we didn't hire anyone extra, saving us over $5,000 in temp staffing."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Whimsical Treasures Gift Shop
"I was skeptical about AI sounding human, but this thing nailed our shop's chatty style, chatting about love-themed engravings just like our team. During Valentine's, it fielded calls on personalized jewelry non-stop, booking three times more engraving appointments than our old voicemail system ever did. Setup took just two weeks with our WooCommerce integration, and it's paid for itself already through a 35% boost in February upsells."
Mike Rivera
Manager, Heartfelt Gifts Boutique
"Our small team couldn't keep up with Mother's Day queries about floral arrangement availability and delivery slots. The AI voice agent integrated with our POS overnight, answering stock questions and even processing simple orders via voice. We saw a 15% uptick in same-day pickups and online deliveries, and customers rave about the always-available service—our Google reviews spiked by 4.5 stars in May alone."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle peak holiday call volumes for my gift shop?
Great question—holidays like Christmas can flood your lines with inquiries about limited-edition gifts or shipping deadlines. Our custom AI is built to scale effortlessly, processing hundreds of calls per hour without dropping a beat. It uses advanced natural language processing to understand accents, urgency, and specifics like 'Do you have that personalized mug in stock?' We've optimized it for retail noise, integrating directly with your POS to pull live data. One gift shop client handled a 300% call spike during Black Friday, converting 40% more leads than before, all while maintaining that friendly, unhurried tone your customers love. We also include surge monitoring to alert your team if needed.
Can I customize the AI's responses to match my shop's unique gift offerings?
Absolutely, customization is our hallmark. You're not getting a generic bot; we tailor it to your inventory, from artisanal candles to bespoke jewelry. During setup, we feed it your product catalog, seasonal promotions, and even sample calls from your team. For instance, if a caller asks about eco-friendly gifts, the AI can highlight your sustainable lines and suggest pairings. A boutique we worked with customized it to reference local trends, boosting upsells by 22%. It's all owned by you, so you can update scripts anytime—like adding new holiday collections—without waiting on a vendor.
What happens if the AI can't resolve a customer's gift-related issue?
Smart thinking—complex issues like custom engravings or returns need a human touch. Our AI is designed for smooth escalation: it gathers all details during the call, then texts or emails you with a summary, or routes to your on-duty staff via integrated scheduling. No lost info. In one case, a shop owner got a 10 p.m. alert about a urgent wedding gift order; the AI had already confirmed details, so she handled it next morning seamlessly. This ensures 24/7 coverage without frustrating customers, and we've seen resolution times drop by 50% overall.
How quickly can I get this AI voice agent up and running in my gift shop?
We're all about speed without sacrificing quality. For most gift shops, we launch in 2-4 weeks: week one for discovery and customization, week two for integration and testing with your systems like Shopify or Square. We run live simulations with sample calls about popular gifts to fine-tune. A client went live just before Halloween, catching early inquiries on costumes and decor. Post-launch, we provide a dashboard for monitoring, and tweaks are quick—often same-day. No long waits that miss your seasonal windows.
Is this AI secure for handling customer data in the retail space?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive gift buyer info like addresses for deliveries. We build with end-to-end encryption, complying with retail standards like PCI DSS for payments and GDPR for privacy. Data from calls—like preferences for personalized items—stays in your controlled system, not shared with third parties. Our voice agents log interactions securely, accessible only to your team. A gift shop partner appreciated this during a busy season; no breaches, and customers felt safe sharing details. We also audit regularly to keep it robust against evolving threats.
How does the AI improve customer experience during non-peak times?
Even on slow days, like post-holiday lulls, the AI keeps your shop feeling alive and responsive. It answers routine questions on hours, new arrivals, or gift ideas instantly, preventing small frustrations from building. For example, a weekday caller browsing online might get a voice nudge toward in-store exclusives, driving foot traffic. Shops report 30% more engagement from these 'quiet' interactions, as the AI personalizes based on trends—like suggesting Valentine's prep in January. It's like an always-on concierge, maintaining satisfaction year-round without tying up your staff on basics.
