What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our small team was buried under Black Friday emails about shipping times and bundle pricing. Now, the knowledge base handles most of it, and we've saved about 18 hours a week. Sales went up 15% because we're actually talking to customers about new arrivals like our winter knitwear line instead of basics."
Elena Vasquez
Owner, Thread & Bloom Boutique – Online Apparel Retailer
"We run pop-up events with trend-driven stock like streetwear drops, but updating guides for colorways and fits was a nightmare. Their custom setup pulls from our inventory feed automatically. In the last quarter, response times dropped from 2 days to under 10 minutes, and our return rate fell by 12%—real game-changer for our margins on high-turnover items."
Marcus Hale
Operations Lead, Urban Threads Retail – Urban Fashion E-tailer
"As a boutique with vintage pieces, every item has a story, but explaining care instructions and authenticity via chat was exhausting during our anniversary sale. The AI now surfaces those details flawlessly from our catalog database. We've cut support tickets by 60% over six months, freeing us to source more unique finds like 70s denim without burning out."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this fit with my existing e-commerce setup?
We start by auditing your current tools, like Shopify or your POS system, to ensure smooth integration. Unlike off-the-shelf options, our custom build connects directly to your data sources—think pulling live inventory for sizing questions without manual updates. For boutique retailers, this means no disruptions during seasonal launches. We've done this for shops with unique workflows, saving them setup time and ensuring the knowledge base feels like a natural part of their site. The result? Customers get instant answers, and your team avoids double-entry headaches. It's all about making your operations flow better, not adding more complexity.
What about keeping info updated for fast-changing trends?
Trends in retail move quick—like a viral TikTok boosting accessory sales overnight. Our system auto-scrapes your approved sources, such as Instagram posts or supplier feeds, to refresh the knowledge base in real-time. No more manual edits that eat into your day. For example, if you drop a new summer line, it ingests descriptions and pairs them with care tips automatically. We've helped boutiques handle this during back-to-school rushes, reducing update time from hours to minutes. You're in control, approving changes via a simple dashboard, so it always aligns with your brand's voice and seasonal strategy.
Can it handle complex queries like custom orders?
Absolutely—our AI is trained on your specific data, so it tackles nuanced questions like 'Can you monogram this leather bag?' by referencing your policies and past examples. It's not generic; we fine-tune it for boutique scenarios, like personalization options or fabric sourcing details. In testing with similar retailers, it resolved 80% of such queries without escalation, cutting response times dramatically. If it's too tricky, it seamlessly hands off to your team with all context. This boosts efficiency during peak times, letting you focus on crafting those special pieces customers love, while maintaining that personal touch.
What's the ROI timeline for a small boutique like mine?
Most of our retail clients see payback within 2-4 months. Take the time savings: If your team spends 10 hours weekly on FAQs, our automation handles most, freeing up 7-8 hours for sales or sourcing. At $25/hour labor cost, that's $800-1,000 monthly savings. Add reduced errors—like fewer returns from unclear sizing info—and ROI compounds. We track this with built-in metrics, adjusting as needed. For a boutique with $2M annual revenue, this often translates to 5-10% efficiency gains overall. It's not hype; it's based on real implementations where owners report clearer heads and higher margins during seasons.
Is the system secure for sensitive customer data?
Security is non-negotiable in e-commerce, especially with payment or personalization details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and PCI standards, ensuring queries about orders don't expose info. Your knowledge base lives on secure servers you own, not rented clouds prone to breaches. For boutiques, we include role-based access so only staff see backend notes. In past projects, we've integrated with secure APIs without a single incident. Regular audits and updates keep it robust against retail-specific risks, like phishing during holiday scams. Peace of mind means you can focus on delighting customers, not worrying about data.
How customizable is it for my brand's unique voice?
We make it yours from the ground up. During build, we analyze your website copy, emails, and chat history to infuse the AI with your boutique's personality—warm, trendy, or minimalist. For instance, responses might say 'Pair this with our linen skirt for that effortless vibe' instead of bland facts. It's not a template; we train on your specifics, like eco-friendly material highlights. Retailers we've worked with love how it builds trust, with one noting a 25% engagement lift. You approve every nuance, ensuring it evolves with your brand as trends shift, keeping that authentic connection alive.
