AI Chatbot for Retail

The Customer Experience Challenge in Retail

In the competitive retail and consumer products space, customer expectations have never been higher. They want:

• Instant answers about products, pricing, and availability.

• Personalized recommendations that match their tastes and needs.

• Frictionless checkout experiences on every device.

• Round-the-clock support for post-purchase questions.

The reality is that:

• Abandoned carts are often caused by unanswered last-minute questions.

• Call centers and live chat agents can’t keep up during peak sales periods.

• Manual customer service increases costs and slows down responses.

CrafterQ solves these problems with an AI-powered shopping assistant that’s available 24/7 to help customers discover products, get answers, and make confident purchases — online or in-store.
