AI agents for store operations
4 live agents (Store Staff Copilot, Clienteling Assistant, Visual Merchandising Guide…) and 33 on the roadmap: what each does, the data it needs and the questions it answers.
Store associates need fast, practical answers on the shop floor: stock, policies and what to show a returning customer.
