AI agents for omnichannel & fulfilment
4 live agents (Reserve and Try Assistant, Collection Order Chaser, Endless Aisle Ordering…) and 5 on the roadmap: what each does, the data it needs and the questions it answers.
4 agents you can switch on today
Reserve and Try Assistant
Finds which store has the item in stock so shoppers can reserve it and try it on.
Who it's for: Shoppers (shopper assistant on your website or a link)
Data it needs: Products, Inventory, Stores
Tools it uses: semantic product search with filters (price, colour, category); read-only SQL over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace); store finder with live opening hours
Ask it, for example:
- "Which store has the black clutch so I can try it?"
- "Can I try SKU 21979 in a store?"
- "Where can I see your red dresses in person?"
Collection Order Chaser
Tracks in-store collection orders, flags ones waiting too long and drafts customer reminders.
Who it's for: Your team (console, API)
Data it needs: Orders
Tools it uses: read-only SQL over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace)
Ask it, for example:
- "Which store orders are still waiting?"
- "Draft reminders for orders waiting more than 3 days"
- "How many store orders are processing vs shipped?"
Endless Aisle Ordering
When an item is out of stock in store, finds it elsewhere and explains how to get it delivered.
Who it's for: Shoppers (shopper assistant on your website or a link)
Data it needs: Products, Inventory, Knowledge docs
Tools it uses: semantic product search with filters (price, colour, category); read-only SQL over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace); search over your policies and FAQs, with citations
Ask it, for example:
- "This black clutch is sold out here, can I get it delivered?"
- "Find SKU 21979 for home delivery"
- "Do you have this dress in another store?"
Store Picking Assistant
Builds an efficient pick list for open online orders, grouped by location, with substitutes for gaps.
Who it's for: Your team (console, API)
Data it needs: Orders, Order lines, Inventory, Products

- "Pick list for the 10 oldest open orders"
