Frequently asked questions

Is changing the website copy enough instead of deploying AI?

Partly. A better site structure and FAQ reduce questions by 20–30%, but customers still prefer to ask rather than read. Combining both — a clear website plus an AI assistant — gives a far better result than either alone. AI then uses the well-described site as its knowledge base and answers more precisely.

Which delivery and returns questions come back most often?

"How much is delivery?", "When will I get my order?", "Can I return this product?", "What's the returns process?", "Do you ship abroad?" — that's the top 5 in almost every store. These questions take the support team 30–40% of their daily time, and all can be handled automatically without losing answer quality.

Can AI handle individual returns cases?

Standard cases yes (within the store's policy). Unusual situations — e.g. a return after the deadline, a return of a damaged item — AI handles in an informational role and directs the customer to the complaints team. That's a good setup: simple matter = automated, unusual matter = human, each working where it has the highest value.
