What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our evening calls about custom fish tanks and filtration systems. Now, it books installs automatically and checks stock levels in real-time—our online sales jumped 35% in just three months, and my team finally gets evenings off without checking voicemails."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner of Finny Friends Aquatics, a specialty aquarium retailer in Seattle
"The agent nailed our holiday promo for dog sweaters during Cyber Week; it even suggested sizes based on breed chats and bundled with matching leashes. We've cut missed inquiries by 80%, and customers rave about the 'always-open' feel on our Etsy-integrated site—it's transformed our small shop into a 24/7 powerhouse."
Mike Rivera
Store Manager at Paws & Claws Boutique, an online-offline pet accessory shop in Austin
"Dealing with after-hours adoption questions for kittens and puppies was a nightmare with our WooCommerce site traffic spiking. Their custom setup qualifies families instantly over voice, checks availability, and syncs to our CRM for follow-up emails. In the first quarter after launch, we placed 22 more pets and saw a 15% boost in accessory upsells, all thanks to those smart calls."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle specific pet product questions?
We train it on your full catalog, from hypoallergenic dog foods to exotic bird perches. For instance, if a customer asks about grain-free options for a senior pup, the agent pulls real-time stock data and suggests alternatives if needed. It's custom-built to your inventory system, so responses are accurate and personalized—think recommending based on breed or age. We've seen stores reduce stock-related complaints by 50%. Setup takes about two weeks, and we refine it post-launch based on actual calls. No generic answers here; it's like having a knowledgeable clerk who's always on duty.
What if a call needs a human touch, like emotional adoption support?
Our agents are smart about escalation. They detect sentiment—say, a teary voice discussing rehoming—and seamlessly transfer with a full summary: call history, pet details, even tone notes. This hands off to your team without starting from scratch. In pet stores, this shines for sensitive topics like end-of-life care products. We configure thresholds based on your workflow, ensuring 70-80% of routine calls (like treat reorders) stay automated. Post-transfer, the system logs everything for follow-up, boosting your customer experience without overwhelming staff.
Can it manage seasonal rushes, like back-to-school pet supply spikes?
Absolutely. We design for retail peaks, scaling to handle 5x normal call volume without lag. For back-to-school, it promotes your backpack leashes or lunchbox toys, upselling on the fly. Custom scripts adapt to trends—we update them quarterly based on pet industry data. One client saw a 45% sales lift during a similar rush. Integration with your calendar books appointments instantly, and analytics help you prep inventory. It's not just reactive; the AI forecasts busier periods from past patterns, keeping your store ahead of the pack.
Is the AI voice agent secure for handling customer data in pet retail?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive info like pet health notes or payment details. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, tailored for retail. Calls are recorded only with consent, stored securely, and accessible via your custom dashboard. For pet stores, this means safe handling of allergy info or loyalty program data. Our builders embed two-way API protections to prevent breaches. Clients report zero incidents, and we audit regularly. You're owning a fortified system, not renting a vulnerable one.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a small pet store?
Costs vary by complexity, but for a typical small pet store (under 10 staff), expect $8,000-$15,000 upfront for build and integration, then $200-$500 monthly for maintenance and hosting. This replaces multiple subscriptions and part-time help, often paying for itself in 3-6 months via captured leads. We factor in your needs—like basic vs. advanced personalization for breeds—and offer phased rollout. No hidden fees; it's a one-time build for ownership. Compare to hiring: this handles 24/7 without benefits or turnover. Let's chat specifics to quote accurately.
Will it integrate with my existing phone system and e-commerce site?
Yes, we specialize in seamless integrations. Whether you're on Twilio, RingCentral, or a basic landline, we connect it effortlessly. For e-commerce, it syncs with Shopify, WooCommerce, or even custom setups to check orders or update carts mid-call. In pet retail, this means confirming a rawhide chew availability while chatting. Setup involves mapping your APIs—no downtime. We've integrated for 50+ stores, cutting manual checks by 90%. If your system is quirky, our engineers handle it, ensuring the agent feels like a natural extension of your operations.
