What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose dozens of late-night queries on custom engraving turnaround times for our silver necklaces during the December rush. Now, it handles sizing, material options, and FedEx shipping estimates flawlessly, pushing our holiday sales up 28% last season without extending store hours or overtime pay."
Sarah Jenkins
Founder & CEO, Whimsical Treasures Boutique
"Our support desk was buried under post-9 PM questions about eco-friendly gift wrap add-ons and 30-day return policies for seasonal decor. The AI chatbot syncs effortlessly with Shopify, resolving 75% of issues independently—like suggesting bundle upsells—which let us skip hiring three seasonal reps and still hit record Q4 returns."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Enchanted Emporium Online
"I doubted it at first, but this chatbot aced our niche queries on matching vintage glass ornaments with personalized greeting cards, even suggesting cross-sells during off-hours. Response times dropped from 48 hours to under 10 seconds, earning us a 4.8-star average on Trustpilot and a 22% sales bump from repeat holiday shoppers."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle custom gift requests specific to my shop?
We train it on your exact inventory and past orders, so it can suggest engravings or bundles tailored to items like your signature scented candles. For instance, if a customer asks about personalizing a necklace at midnight, it pulls real-time availability and guides them through options, just like your in-store experts. It's custom-coded to learn your shop's quirks, reducing errors and boosting those special-order sales by up to 40%. Plus, it flags anything tricky for your team first thing in the morning.
Will it integrate with my existing e-commerce platform like Shopify?
Absolutely—our builders create deep, two-way connections so the chatbot accesses live data from Shopify, like order status or stock levels for that popular plush toy. No more manual checks; it resolves 'where's my package?' queries instantly. We've done this for dozens of gift shops, cutting integration time to weeks and eliminating the sync issues that plague template bots. You're in control, with a unified system that grows with your online sales.
What about during peak seasons like Christmas—can it scale?
Yes, it's designed for holiday chaos. The underlying architecture handles spikes in traffic, like thousands of queries about gift sets in December, without slowing down. We stress-test it against your busiest periods, ensuring sub-second responses even at 5 PM on Black Friday. Gift shops we've built for report zero downtime, turning what used to be overwhelming rushes into smooth, 24/7 service that captures every last-minute buyer.
How do we ensure the chatbot sounds like our brand, not robotic?
We infuse it with your shop's warm, whimsical voice—think friendly suggestions for 'the perfect birthday surprise' instead of stiff replies. By analyzing your website copy and customer emails, we craft responses that feel personal, like chatting with a knowledgeable clerk. It's not generic; we iterate with your feedback during setup, so it nails nuances like recommending eco-gifts for trend-savvy customers. The result? Higher engagement, with shops seeing 30% more positive interactions.
What happens if a query is too complex for the AI?
It seamlessly hands off to your team with full context—like the customer's interest in custom ornaments and their order history—via email or your dashboard. No lost details; the bot logs everything for quick pickup. This hybrid approach means 80% of routine questions (stock, shipping) are handled solo, while your staff focuses on creative stuff like design consultations. We've fine-tuned this for gift shops, minimizing disruptions and keeping satisfaction sky-high even after hours.
Is this a one-time build, or do we get ongoing support?
It's yours to own—a custom-built asset with our initial setup, training, and launch. But we provide optional maintenance to keep it sharp, like updating for new gift lines or trends. No endless subscriptions; you decide. For a boutique like yours, this means evolving the bot as seasons change, ensuring it stays relevant without the hassle of managing updates yourself. Many clients stick with us for tweaks, reporting sustained 25% efficiency gains year-over-year.
