The "Silent Store" Problem

Customers abandon carts after hours when no one's there to answer urgent questions about shipping timelines, return policies, or product sizing for trendy apparel

Seasonal spikes like Black Friday overwhelm your small team with inquiries about inventory levels and promo codes, leaving high-intent shoppers unanswered and sales on the table

Trendy drops like limited-edition sneakers sell out fast, but without instant support on stock availability or bundle options, potential buyers bounce to competitors who respond quicker

Personalized follow-ups on wishlist items like curated outfit recommendations get delayed, eroding the loyal vibe your boutique thrives on for repeat fashion purchases

Missed weekend queries about custom orders for personalized accessories mean lost upsell opportunities during prime shopping windows for impulse buys

Inconsistent support across pop-up events or flash sales for on-the-go shoppers expecting boutique-level care on mobile site navigation or flash deal terms frustrates conversions

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose weekend sales because no one could answer quick questions about our handmade silver jewelry sizing or engraving options. Now, the chatbot handles those overnight, integrating with our Shopify store—our mobile conversion rate shot up 28% last quarter during summer festivals, and I finally get weekends off to restock."

Elena Vasquez

Owner, Luna Artisans Boutique

"Holiday rushes used to bury us in unanswered emails about stock for our limited-edition cashmere scarves and bundle pricing. Their custom bot integrates seamlessly with our WooCommerce site, resolving 70% of inquiries on the spot about color availability. Sales during December Black Friday week were our best ever, up 15% from last year with zero overtime."

Marcus Hale

E-commerce Manager, Thread & Needle Shop

"We run pop-up events in urban markets, and off-hours follow-ups on fabric care for our sustainable denim or flash sale bundle deals were a nightmare. This chatbot feels like an extension of our brand—chatting casually about wash instructions or mix-and-match outfits. It's saved us from hiring extra help during Coachella season and kept customer reviews glowing at 4.9 stars on our Etsy shop."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery & Tailoring

We dive into your boutique's world—your product catalog, customer lingo, and peak seasons—to design a chatbot that matches your voice perfectly.

Step 2

Build & Integrate

Our team codes it from scratch, linking to your e-commerce tools for real-time stock checks and order updates, tested rigorously for your workflow.

Step 3

Launch & Optimize

Go live with 24/7 monitoring. We tweak based on early chats, ensuring it evolves with your trends and keeps delighting customers.

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not slapped-together no-code hacks that break during your big sales—giving you true ownership over a system that scales with your boutique's growth.

Unlike assemblers piecing together rented bots, we create unified AI that owns your data, eliminating subscription traps and ensuring seamless integration with your POS without brittle APIs.

Our frustration-born approach means we prioritize production-ready reliability; we've ditched the chaos of disconnected tools ourselves, so your chatbot won't glitch when a trend goes viral.

We focus on deep, two-way integrations that understand your inventory nuances—like seasonal variants—while others offer superficial connections that miss the boutique's personal touch.

Clients get a single, owned digital asset, not endless subscriptions; we move you from juggling apps to one robust system that captures every opportunity, 24/7.

Born from real-world bottlenecks in our own ventures, we engineer for longevity—your chatbot adapts to e-commerce shifts, not locked into outdated platforms.

We deliver custom UIs and dashboards tailored to your metrics, like cart abandonment rates, instead of forcing you to navigate generic interfaces.

Our multi-agent architecture handles complex queries (e.g., outfit matching) with context, far beyond basic rule-based bots that frustrate savvy shoppers.

We emphasize compliance and security for your customer data, building in boutique-specific safeguards that generic agencies overlook.

Proven by our in-house platforms like Agentive AIQ, we don't just talk scalability—we've deployed systems handling thousands of daily interactions without a hitch.

Common Questions

How does the chatbot handle unique boutique products like custom embroidery?

We train it on your specific catalog, so it understands details like fabric types or personalization options. For instance, if a customer asks about monogramming a scarf, it pulls from your inventory data to confirm availability, suggest threads, and even estimate turnaround— all in a conversational tone that matches your brand's warmth. This isn't generic; it's built to showcase what makes your boutique special, reducing back-and-forth and boosting conversions during limited runs.

Will it integrate with my Shopify store without disrupting operations?

Absolutely. We create deep, custom integrations that sync live with Shopify, handling everything from stock levels to customer profiles. No disruptions— we stage it in a test environment first. Boutiques often see it pulling order details in seconds, answering 'Where's my package?' queries instantly. It's designed for your workflow, so during a flash sale, it won't slow your site; instead, it captures leads while your team focuses on fulfillment.

What if a customer needs human help during off-hours?

The chatbot is smart about boundaries. It resolves simple issues like tracking or FAQs 24/7, but for complex needs—like sizing disputes on artisanal pieces—it collects details and schedules a callback or email for the next business day. We've seen this approach satisfy 85% of cases without waits, and when escalation happens, it hands off context-rich info to your team, saving time and keeping that personal boutique feel intact.

How do we measure if it's improving customer satisfaction?

We build in a custom dashboard that tracks metrics like response times, resolution rates, and sales influenced by chats—specific to retail KPIs like cart recovery. For example, one boutique client monitored a 22% drop in abandonment after launch. Plus, it integrates sentiment analysis to flag trends, like rising questions on sustainable fabrics, so you can proactively update your site. It's all owned by you, with real-time insights to refine and prove ROI.

Can it adapt to seasonal trends in my boutique?

Yes, we make it dynamic. The AI learns from your data, so when fall collections drop, it prioritizes queries about cozy knits or holiday gifting. We set up rules for promotions, like auto-suggesting bundle deals during back-to-school. It's not static—post-launch, we optimize based on interaction patterns, ensuring it stays relevant as trends shift, much like restocking your shelves for the next season.

Is the chatbot secure for handling customer payment or personal info?

Security is non-negotiable for us. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and PCI DSS, tailored for e-commerce. It never stores sensitive data like card details—instead, it guides users securely to your checkout. For boutiques dealing with international orders, we add layers for data privacy, so customers trust sharing sizing or address info. Our builds have passed audits for similar setups, keeping your reputation spotless.
