Beyond chat bot, what AI tools for customer service?

Chat bot would be the first thing right top off the head. Other than that, what other ai tools can help with things like customer behaviour tracking? I’d like to see how ai could play into understanding user experience and their shopping journey with my business. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

You could try a few AI tools beyond chatbots :backhand_index_pointing_down:

:speech_balloon: Chatty AI Chatbot & Live Chat

:robot: Tidio – Live Chat & AI Chatbot

These help with both customer interaction and understanding shopping behaviour on your store.

Thanks for chat bot options, and i’m sure they are popping out while we’re chatting here.

I’m more interested in any other areas where AI can tap into - data, user behaviour, seo, conversion. Any suggestion or experience?

Apologies for the plug, but this is kinda something that led me to build Klariqo for Shopify. We are one of the first Voice AI support chatbot style for Shopify. I personally have been working with ecom stores for a while, and realised as fun and hunky dorey, chatbots are, they kinda miss that human touch.

Klariqo - Live AI Voice Chat

I personally feel a support agent that “talks” while customer shops, is gonna be really swell for customer retention and overall customer experience in the long run. The fun thing, is since its voice based, we can also track human sentiment during conversations as well.

Still chat bot :frowning:

I hate to live in a world where ai was still confined behind the frontdesk or popping out at the corner of a webstore.

If AI shouldn’t be “just a bot,” put it in the discovery layer. That’s search, recommendations, category pages, and the analytics that guide them. This is where revenue moves.

Search

  • Learns what converts and ranks products based on real goals: stock levels, margin, trends.
  • Recovers dead ends automatically with synonyms, typo handling, and “did you mean.”
  • Autocomplete suggestions evolve as it learns about the shopper

Recommendations

  • Adjust dynamically based on context and behavior.
  • PDP: “Similar” and “Complementary” suggestions that lift bundles.
  • Cart/checkout: Cross-sells tuned to margin, stock, or lifecycle stage.
  • Home/category: AI boosts new arrivals or bestsellers to give them visibility without manual work.

Category pages

  • AI combines business rules with relevance and lets you boost or bury products by keyword or collection while still showing what shoppers are most likely to buy.

Analytics

  • Surface the biggest growth opportunities: zero-result queries, low-CTR searches, unused facets, products that block scroll.
  • Continuously test and optimize ranking strategies toward the goals you care about and let the system adapt as those goals change.

For tools, Luigi’s Box does this (I’m associated), but even if you don’t use it, this is the type of AI that actually impacts revenue instead of just answering questions: Luigi’s AI Search & Discovery - Luigi’s Box AI Search & Discovery tools for your e-commerce | Shopify App Store

Hi @WingSpan we’re working on an app using AI for custom data analytics. We’d love to hear your feedback and could give you early access to it for free. If you’re interested, do reach out

I mean, what does your app do? What model does it run on if you could share?

Take a look at my app, autoBlogger — it uses the latest AI to fully automate your blog content which is great for SEO.

If you have any questions or need a hand getting started, just let me know!

I built a GPT system that tracks customer behavior patterns across emails, chat, and returns to predict issues before they escalate. Way more powerful than just chatbots. The key is feeding it the right data points - are you currently collecting post-purchase behavior data?

I see some interesting tools mentioned here, I’d like to recommend you AIYYO’s Myra/Nora SaaS

One of the AI-driven automations from the suit, is a lead generation pipeline, which captures a store visitor’s journey across the store by collecting data points for insights, sentiment analysis and engagement such as product pages viewed, time spent, images clicked, cart functions - all this meta data is then processed across different algorithms to create a sales funnel.

The chat interface also auto-redirects users to relevant product pages or provides them as cards for upsell/cross-sell based on your preference.

You can set up to receive instant visitor engagement/conversation summary with along with a quick follow-up action before the lead goes cold, and also define and set up workflow automation/triggers such as with cart abandonment etc.

As for CRM, the suite integrates with all your social channels to instantly respond from your store data/inventory to keep voice/text responses standard across channels. Natively multilingual realtime on voice channels.

She provides realtime order/tracking for WISMO support, and also plugs into to your Zendesk, Zohodesk, Gorgias and Slack accounts for augment helpdesk functions and human/agent handoff.

There’s a whole bunch of other workflow automation tools built in, and more 3rd party integrations coming up.. Besides the month long free trial to give it a spin, and try out. Would love to hear from you with an operational feedback to help improve the functions.

For customer service on Shopify, the biggest AI wins usually come from tools that can handle both sales questions and support ops like order lookups, refunds, and triage. I work at eesel AI and our Shopify chatbot covers that end to end since it plugs into your catalog and can also act like a lightweight support agent.

If you’re exploring beyond chatbots, there are apps that can track the customer journey pretty well (like Google Analytics and PostHog) but I don’t know how much AI is being used on those apps right now. Using the data from those sites and parsing it into an AI to process would be interesting.

For AI beyond chatbots, focus on tools that track customer behavior, optimize search and recommendations, and analyze shopping journeys. Examples: Klaviyo K:Service for full customer insights, Klariqo for voice sentiment tracking, and Luigi’s Box for AI-driven product discovery and conversion optimization. These help improve UX, engagement, and sales.

Take a look on our AI Agent that segments customer based on potential gender :backhand_index_pointing_right: Segmentify: AI Segments Tools - Segmentify - AI powered Segmentation Tool | Shopify App Store :backhand_index_pointing_left:

Soon we’ll leave new functions based on customer behaviors or potential identities, buyer personas, and many more..If u are interested or maybe thought on something useful we would love to discuss it!

Any feedback and critics are really appreciated :slight_smile:

I just launched a new Shopify app called InboxIQ that helps store owners respond to customer emails, Facebook and Instagram messages, and web messages faster using AI + store context. I created this app for my own Shopify store, found it a huge time saver, so I made it public. It learns from analyzing past sent messages to give well informed responses without you having to spend time training it yourself.

Hey! Great question. Another interesting approach is using an AI negotiator like Batna. Instead of just watching a user abandon a cart, Batna engages them in a real-time price negotiation. This is incredibly insightful because it tracks exactly what price point or offer ‘tips’ a specific customer over the edge to buy. It’s a more active way to understand the user experience and where your pricing might be creating friction in their journey.
