    What is an AI Shopping Assistant?

    Ein KI-Shopping-Assistent - auch Agentic Shopping Bot oder AI Shopping Assistant genannt - ersetzt starre Filter durch einen Chat-basierten Produktberater. Mithilfe agentischer KI wird jedes Produkt zu einem eigenen Agenten, der seine Attribute kennt und sich nur dann meldet, wenn eine Anfrage wirklich passt.

    Result:

    0 zero hits and a conversion rate increase of up to 110%

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an Agentic Shopping Assistant?

    An Agentic Shopping Assistant is an AI-powered advisory instance in the online shop. It understands purchase intent, asks targeted follow-up questions when needed, and explains product recommendations transparently – like an experienced sales advisor. Unlike classic search and chatbots, AGINITY uses multiple specialized AI agents that analyze requests and catalogs in parallel, without using external vector databases.

    What is the difference between an Agentic Shopping Assistant and a chatbot?

    A chatbot answers predefined questions or retrieves answers from stored documents. An Agentic Shopping Assistant actively searches the entire product catalog, understands the context of a request (e.g. "quiet laptop for home office") and justifies each recommendation with specific product attributes. The result: higher purchase confidence and measurably fewer returns.

    How do I integrate the AI shopping assistant into my shop?

    A JavaScript snippet is sufficient; there are plugins for Shopify and Shopware.

    Does the AI store personal data of my buyers?

    No. All requests are pseudonymized and processed exclusively in the EU tenant.

    What does an AI shopping assistant cost?

    Pay-per-use: You only pay per processed search query – no fixed costs.

    Does the assistant also work on mobile devices in Switzerland?

    Yes, the widget is responsive and meets the Swiss Accessibility Guidelines.
