AI chatbot for eCommerce
A generic chatbot answers. A chatbot connected to the catalogue helps you sell.
For an eCommerce, AI has to know the products, variants, facets, availability, shipping, returns, reviews, FAQs and real limits. Otherwise it just produces fluent but unreliable answers.

FAQ
Which AI chatbot should I choose for an eCommerce?
One that can connect to the real catalogue data and respect your rules, availability, privacy and business limits. The model on its own is not enough.
Can it replace customer care?
It can reduce repetitive questions and help during the decision phase, but it has to hand over to a person when a case needs commercial judgement or is sensitive.
Do I need fine-tuning?
Not always. Usually what you need first is a good data base, retrieval, rules, logging and integration with the catalogue and orders.
