Frequently asked questions
What's the best AI for replying to customers at a Shopify store?
Gorgias is the reference for Shopify: it centralizes email, chat, and social media and replies automatically to order questions. Tidio and Rep AI are good lighter and cheaper alternatives.
Can AI reply to customers alone without human intervention?
It handles common questions like order status, returns, or sizing via Gorgias, Zendesk AI, or Crisp on its own, and automatically transfers more complex cases to an agent.
