An AI chatbot and helpdesk that answers customer questions about orders, returns and products

Running a small store means answering the same questions all day: where is my order, how do I return this, is this in stock. Ernest is an AI chatbot that learns your pages, policies and products, then answers 24/7 in your customer's language. It handles order tracking, returns and cancellations, and answers pre-sale questions like a shopping assistant. What it cannot answer goes to your team by email with full context, so it works as a help desk without the ticket queue.

The product was intuitive to use, a lot of my customers reach out on whatsapp and messenger so having that integration was helpful. I did have to spend some time tuning it to speak in a way that I liked, but once I did it worked well
