What the AI assistant does

An AI chatbot for your store website that knows your catalog: products, prices, stock and your store policies.

Finds and compares products

It reads the price, sale price and stock from your catalog at the moment of the question and never suggests out-of-stock items. It compares two to five models side by side.

Answers about payment and shipping

It takes your terms from your store data, instructions and articles, and answers at night and on weekends just as it does during the day.

Doesn’t make things up

If something isn’t in your data, the AI says so instead of inventing an answer. It never offers discounts: a custom price goes to a manager.

Calls a manager when needed

When a shopper asks for a person or the question is unusual, the chat moves to “Manager needed”, with a notification in your team’s Telegram group and the customer’s purchase history.

Video avatar assistant

The shopper talks to an avatar by voice, as on a video call, and the avatar answers with facial expressions and shows product cards.

Live chat and helpdesk

The chat is one channel; the helpdesk is your whole support team.

Live chat is a real-time conversation with a shopper on your website: advice, product search, an order. A chat that needs a person becomes a ticket in the helpdesk, together with emails, messengers and calls.

All customer support in one queue: helpdesk for online stores.

AI chatbot FAQ

How much does the AI chat cost? Do you charge per message?

There is no separate chat subscription and no per-message fee: the chat is part of the Elbuz plan, whose price depends on the number of products and users. You limit the length of one conversation yourself with the “Max messages per chat” field (300 by default). More: pricing.

Is there a free AI chatbot for my website?

There is no permanent free plan, but there is no separate chat subscription either: the chat comes with the Elbuz plan. The first 14 days after sign-up are free while your balance is positive, with €50 on your platform balance. More: pricing.

How is an AI assistant different from a button-based chatbot?

A button bot leads the shopper through a fixed script, while the AI assistant understands questions in the shopper’s own words: it picks and compares products, answers about shipping and payment from your store data and takes orders. If something isn’t in your data, it doesn’t make it up: it says so or calls a manager.

Does the assistant see stock and prices?

Yes. It reads the price, sale price and stock from your catalog at the moment of the question.

What does the chat do when it doesn’t know the answer?

It doesn’t invent one: it says the data isn’t there or hands the conversation to a manager.

Can I add the chat to a site that isn’t on Elbuz: OpenCart, WooCommerce, Shopify?

Yes. It works on any platform with one line of code, and all further settings are in Elbuz.

Can a shopper place an order right in the chat?

Yes, on your website and in Telegram or Viber: Elbuz creates a customer order.

Does the chat work at night? Do I need a live agent?

The AI answers around the clock, so shoppers get an answer right away at night and on weekends. A live agent is needed for what the AI doesn’t do on its own: discounts, unusual questions and conversations where the customer asks for a person. Managers see those chats at the top of the list with the customer’s purchase history.

Which languages does the assistant speak?

The language of the page where the chat is open: the widget takes the language code from your site, or from the visitor’s browser if the site has none, and matches it with the languages of your catalog. Product links also lead to pages in that language.

Can the assistant talk to shoppers by voice?

Yes. You can turn on a video avatar assistant: the shopper talks to it by voice, as on a video call, and the avatar answers aloud with facial expressions that follow the tone of the conversation and shows product cards. Ready-made avatars are free, and a custom one with your employee’s face is made from four photos. Instead of an avatar you can show a 3D mascot.

How is live chat different from a helpdesk?

Chat is a conversation with a shopper on your website, while a helpdesk is a queue of requests from every channel with assignees and deadlines. More: helpdesk for online stores.
