This page draws the actual boundaries. What the rep handles, what it refuses on purpose, and how it decides what to say. Quick answer The AI Sales Rep converts the shoppers already on your site. It answers from your catalog and policies, sells in your voice, asks one or two clarifying questions instead of dumping results, and moves shoppers toward checkout. Order, return, and status questions route to your existing helpdesk, deliberately. ## What the rep handles Pre-purchase selling, entirely. The rep is grounded in your full catalog, policies, and knowledge base, so it answers from your data and never the open internet. It reads constraints instead of keywords. Someone asking for post-workout recovery that will not upset their stomach gets products matched to the constraint. Someone stuck between two options gets an honest comparison built on your own size guidance. Someone buying a golf gift under $100 gets occasion, recipient, and budget understood at once. - **Recommends with reasons.** Every suggestion says why it fits, in your brand's voice. - **Compares honestly.** Differences and sizing pulled from your own product data. - **Asks before it answers.** One or two smart clarifying questions, never a wall of results. - **Speaks the shopper's language.** All popular languages, answering in whatever language the shopper writes. Where this lands on you See what this looks like on your store. Kinect puts an AI sales rep on your storefront, trained on your catalog, policies, and customers, and makes your store readable to the assistants shopping on their behalf. A quick call shows both.

Where is my order, returns, and status questions go to the helpdesk you already run, whether that is Gorgias or another support tool. Support tools are experts in your policies. Kinect is the expert in your brand, products, and customers, and keeping the rep out of the ticket lane is what keeps it selling. The two systems hand off cleanly, and the pairing is covered in [what Kinect works with](https://trykinect.ai/help/integrations). ## How it gets smarter Every conversation feeds the same intelligence layer that runs the rest of the platform. What shoppers keep asking on a product becomes a restock flag or a product-copy fix in your Customer Intelligence digest, and Kinect grades its own agents' answers against real store conversations with hundreds of evals daily. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Kinect rep a chatbot? A chatbot answers questions. The rep sells. It knows the catalog, senses what each visitor wants, and guides them to the right product in your voice, and the same intelligence makes your brand legible to outside AI agents. ### Can shoppers talk to it in other languages? Yes. The rep speaks all popular languages and answers in the language the shopper writes in. Kinect works with international brands and customers. ### Does the rep answer support questions if I want it to? The rep is built to route support to your helpdesk rather than absorb it. That boundary is deliberate, and it is why the rep stays measurably focused on revenue. ### Where can I try the rep? The chat on trykinect.ai is the live rep, trained on Kinect instead of on your store. Ask it anything. To see it on a catalog like yours, book a demo.
