A platform for customizable AI support agents for D2C e-commerce brands. Brands ingest their own knowledge base, define agent workflows for different support scenarios, and integrate third-party tools for automated actions — without needing deep ML expertise.

  • Custom RAG pipeline built from brand's proprietary knowledge base
  • Configurable agent workflows per support scenario
  • Tool integrations: order lookup, product info, automated refunds
  • Stateful multi-step reasoning via LangGraph
