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.

7 Oct 2026 · 4 min read

Store associates need fast, practical answers on the shop floor: stock, policies and what to show a returning customer.

4 agents you can switch on today

Store Staff Copilot

Store associates ask about products, policies, stock and hours from the shop floor.

Try the live demo →

Who it's for: Your team (console, API)
Data it needs: Products, Knowledge docs
Tools it uses: semantic product search with filters (price, colour, category); full product details; search over your policies and FAQs, with citations; store finder with live opening hours

Ask it, for example:

  • "A customer wants a black clutch under $50, what do we have?"
  • "What's our exchange policy without receipt?"
  • "Is SKU 21979 in stock and where?"

Clienteling Assistant

Prepares a client brief (tier, past orders) and suggests products to show a returning customer.

Who it's for: Your team (console, API)
Data it needs: Customers, Orders, Order lines, Products
Tools it uses: customer profile and history; order and delivery status; semantic product search with filters (price, colour, category)

Ask it, for example:

  • "Brief me on customer C-1001 and suggest 3 items to show"
  • "What has customer C-1001 bought recently?"
  • "Suggest 3 handbags to show customer C-1001"

Visual Merchandising Guide

Suggests what to put in windows and front tables from best sellers, stock and current promotions.

Who it's for: Your team (console, API)
Data it needs: Products, Orders, Order lines, Inventory
Tools it uses: sales analytics by category, channel or period; stock-out risk and days of cover; semantic product search with filters (price, colour, category); read-only SQL over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace)

Ask it, for example:

  • "What should we feature on the front table this week?"
  • "Window ideas for Women based on what sells"
  • "Which products should go in a summer window?"

Stock Count Assistant

Plans cycle counts by location and value, prioritising fast sellers and suspicious stock.
