Beauty & cosmetics

Shade and ingredient questions, answered from your data.

The AI answers on WhatsApp from your product guides and Shopify catalogue. It doesn't improvise about skin: that goes to your team.

What beauty customers ask, before and after buying.

Some questions are about the product. Some are about the person's skin. Kanesh treats them differently.

  • “I'm fair with warm undertones. Which shade should I pick?”

    What the answer needs
    Your shade guide and the shade descriptions in your catalogue.

    What the answer needs

    In Kanesh
    Knowledge base answer, then a campaign to opted-in customers

Product answers from data. Skin questions to people.

The AI works from what you publish about each product. When a question is about someone's skin rather than your product, it steps aside.

  • Ingredients from your data, not the internet

    The AI is instructed to answer only from the ingredient lists, shade guides and how-to-use notes you upload.

  • Routines built from your catalogue

    The AI suggests products from your live Shopify catalogue, with the price, a link and whether it's in stock.

  • Every reply checked before it's sent

    Replies are checked against your data and rules, and a person answers any product claim your data can't back up.

    How our AI works 
  • Skin concerns go to a person

    Reactions, allergies and skin-condition questions go to your team with the reason and the conversation, under rules you set.

  • Order status after verification

    “Has my order shipped?” gets live Shopify data, including tracking, once the AI has checked the customer is on the order.

What stays with your team

The AI is set up to talk about your products, not about the customer's skin. Under your rules, these go to a person, with the reason and the context:

  • Reactions, irritation or allergies
  • Whether a product suits a skin condition
  • Shades or ingredients your data doesn't cover
  • Changing, cancelling or refunding an order
  • Anything your own rules send to a person
  • Your product claims: you approve them under the EU cosmetics rules (Reg. (EC) 1223/2009 and Reg. (EU) 655/2013), and the AI answers only from the content you approved

It answers from your label, not the internet.

Kanesh keeps the AI to what you've published about each product, and hands anything about a person's skin to your team.

  • Ingredient answers based on the information you upload
  • Shade guidance from your own guide and catalogue
  • Replies checked against your data before they're sent
  • Reactions and allergies handed off, with the conversation

Illustration: on WhatsApp, a customer asks a beauty store whether its night serum contains fragrance, because her skin is sensitive. Inside Kanesh, the AI reads the serum's published product information, checks the draft and replies that the product information lists no added fragrance, with a link to the full ingredient list. When she says she reacted to a serum before, the AI doesn't advise: it hands the conversation to a person on the store's team with the reason.

Questions from beauty brands

How does the AI recommend a shade?
Shade advice comes from your shade guide and the shade descriptions in your catalogue, not from photos. If those don't settle it, the conversation goes to your team.
Where do the ingredient answers come from?
From the product information you upload or keep in your catalogue. The AI is set up not to fill gaps: if an ingredient or allergen isn't listed there, your rules can hand the question to a person.
What happens if a customer reports a reaction?
The AI is set up not to advise. It hands the conversation to your team with the reason and everything said so far. You decide which situations always go to a person.
Who is responsible for what the AI says about our products?
Your brand. Each brand is responsible for its own cosmetic product claims under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and the common criteria of Regulation (EU) No 655/2013, and, for products that aren't cosmetics, the rules that apply to them. The AI answers only from the content you approve and upload, and is set up not to add claims of its own. Review your content before you upload it.
Can we send launch news on WhatsApp?
Yes, as WhatsApp campaigns to people who opted in. Every opt-in is stored with the exact text the person accepted and how they gave it. Messages outside the 24-hour window use templates approved by Meta.
Which languages does the AI reply in?
Spanish and English. The interface is also available in both languages.
