Is assisted shopping a feature on ecommerce platforms?

I’m trying to find out is this is a feature in Shopify that I can’t find, or if I saw it on another platform or if it’s an app? It’s ‘assisted shopping’, where in real time or “live” a member of staff can help a customer with their shopping by adding to cart, etc.

Hey @MTB-Greg ,

Great question!

It sounds like you are referring to the Shop app’s ChatGPT-powered shopping assistant. You can learn more about this below:

For further context, Shop gives independent businesses a new channel that automatically recommends products to their existing customers, all from a place they already shop—on their phone. Shop drives the rediscovery of your brand through in-app recommendations that circle customers back to your store.

No it isn’t an AI thing. It’s like being able to screen share with the customer to help them shop.

Ah I see! It could possibly be Median Cobrowse? Median allows you to join your customers screens without invites, downloads or installs. If a customer is on your site, you can pop on their screen.

That’s the kinda thing I’m talking about. Thank you.

Don’t hesitate to reach back out if you require any further assistance as you continue to work on your store.

All the best,
