The "After-Hours Black Hole" Problem
Peak-season call volumes overwhelm your small team, leaving hot leads in voicemail during Black Friday rushes—think 150+ inquiries per hour on sizing for holiday dresses alone
Shoppers abandon carts after hours when they can't get quick answers on sizing or shipping for limited-edition drops, like that viral sneaker collab with a 24-hour window
Seasonal trend inquiries pile up overnight, like questions on new sustainable fabrics for eco-conscious athleisure lines, forcing you to chase them the next day via email follow-ups
Missed calls from loyal customers wanting to reserve items before sell-outs erode your boutique's personal touch reputation—especially for exclusive handbag pre-orders
After-hours gaps mean losing impulse buys from evening browsers who expect instant help like in a physical store, such as color-matching for last-minute party outfits
Your team burns out handling weekend and holiday calls about inventory availability, distracting from curating fresh collections like spring ready-to-wear trends
Round-the-Clock Voice AI Built for Your Boutique's Flow
We've powered voice agents for over 50 e-commerce brands, turning chaotic call logs into seamless sales pipelines.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose 20-30 calls a night during our summer sale, especially queries on beachwear sizes and swim cap colors. Now, it handles everything from stock checks to appointment sets via our WooCommerce backend, and we've added $15K in monthly revenue from those recovered leads in the last six months. It's like having an extra salesperson who never clocks out."
Elena Vasquez
Owner, Coastal Threads Boutique – San Diego-based swimwear specialist
"Holiday rushes were killing us—customers calling at midnight about gift wrapping options for our graphic tees, straight to voicemail. The custom AI they built integrates with our Shopify and answers just like my team, with that personal flair on bundle deals. In our first Black Friday, it booked 45 virtual styling sessions overnight, saving us from hiring temps and boosting sales by 22%."
Marcus Hale
Founder, Urban Edge Apparel – Streetwear e-tailer in Brooklyn
"As a small vintage shop, we couldn't afford 24/7 staff, but trends move fast—one unanswered call about a rare 80s denim jacket, and poof, sale gone. AIQ's agent now fields those, even suggesting pairings from our current stock like leather boots combos, integrated with our Etsy listings. Sales from after-hours inquiries doubled in three months; it's a game-changer for indie retailers like us."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle complex queries about custom boutique items?
Our custom-built agents are trained specifically on your product details, from fabric types to sizing charts, so they can discuss options like 'That silk scarf in emerald—does it pair with linen pants?' with accuracy. We integrate directly with your inventory system for real-time info, and if it's too nuanced, it smoothly transfers to your team with the conversation summary. Boutiques love this because it keeps the personal touch alive 24/7, reducing drop-offs by addressing hesitations instantly. Plus, we fine-tune based on your feedback, ensuring it evolves with new collections or trends. No generic responses here—it's all tailored to your shop's story.
Will this work during high-traffic seasons like holidays for my e-commerce store?
Absolutely, scalability is core to our design. We've handled spikes up to 10x normal volume for clients during Black Friday, where the agent juggles simultaneous calls on gift guides or shipping deadlines without missing a beat. It queues and prioritizes based on intent, like rushing urgent orders to the front. Integration with your platform ensures no overload—think pulling stock levels mid-rush to confirm availability. One retailer saw a 50% reduction in abandoned inquiries last holiday season. We test rigorously beforehand, so you're covered when trends hit and shoppers flood in after hours.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a small boutique like mine?
Costs vary based on your needs, but for boutiques with 10-50 daily calls, we start around $5,000 for the build, plus a low monthly maintenance fee under $500—far less than a part-time receptionist. This includes full customization to your workflow, like tying into Shopify for order queries. You're owning the system, so no escalating subscriptions. We break it down in the free consultation, factoring in your seasonal patterns. Many clients recoup the investment in 2-3 months through captured leads; for example, one saw $20K extra from holiday conversions alone. It's an asset that pays off, not a recurring drain.
Can the voice agent integrate with my existing retail tools, like POS or CRM?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations—no superficial connections that break. For instance, we'll link it to your POS for instant stock checks or CRM for pulling customer history to personalize chats, like 'I see you loved our cashmere last season—here's the new line.' This creates a unified flow, eliminating manual follow-ups. We've done this for dozens of e-commerce setups, ensuring data syncs securely and in real-time. If you use tools like Square or Klaviyo, it's seamless. The result? Your agent acts like an extension of your team, boosting efficiency without the hassle of juggling apps.
What if a customer prefers talking to a human—does it force AI interactions?
Never; we build in smart handoffs that detect when a call needs your expertise, like detailed styling advice or returns. The agent explains options warmly—'I'd love to help more personally; connecting you now'—and passes the full context, so your team jumps right in without repetition. This hybrid approach shines in retail, where 70% of queries resolve via AI (saving time), but the rest get that boutique warmth. Clients report higher satisfaction scores because it feels supportive, not robotic. We customize the threshold based on your preferences, ensuring every interaction aligns with your customer-first ethos.
How do you ensure the AI sounds natural and on-brand for my boutique?
We start by recording your team's natural speech patterns or using voice samples to clone a friendly, inviting tone that matches your brand—think warm and trendy for a fashion-forward shop. Then, we train on your FAQs, product stories, and even slang for current trends, so responses feel conversational, not scripted. Testing involves role-playing real scenarios, like a shopper asking about sustainable sourcing. It's not stiff corporate-speak; one client said it sounded just like their lead stylist. We iterate post-launch with your input, keeping it fresh as your collections evolve. This authenticity drives trust and those feel-good repeat visits.
