Use case · Pre-sale questions

Answer the question that comes before the order.

The AI recommends from your live Shopify catalogue, with price and link, and answers size, material and shipping questions from your own documents. Bigger or custom purchases go to your sales team, and into the pipeline.

Illustration: on Instagram, a customer looks for a running shoe under 90 euros as a gift. The AI searches the live catalogue and suggests two pairs in stock, with prices and links. For his wide feet, it adds a note from the brand's fit guide. When the customer asks about twelve pairs for a running club, a situation the brand reserved for a person, the AI hands the conversation to the sales team and a teammate adds it to the pipeline.

The problem

A shopper with a question is a shopper about to leave.

Product pages can't answer everything. The questions come in by message, often in the evening, and wait until someone is free.

  • Answers that arrive late

    A question about fit or fabric that waits until the next morning gives the shopper time to buy somewhere else.

  • Recommendations from memory

    Your team knows the range, but not always what's in stock in that size right now.

  • Big orders in the same queue

    A request for twelve pairs, or a custom piece, sits in line with “what's your shipping cost?” and gets the same attention.

How it works in Kanesh

Your catalogue and your guides, answering.

No flow needed. Connect the store, give the AI your documents, and decide which conversations belong to your sales team.

  1. Set up

    Step 1: Connect your Shopify catalogue

    The AI recommends products from your live catalogue, with the price and a link to the product page.

  2. Set up

    Step 2: Upload size guides, materials and care

    Upload your guides, FAQs and policies. The AI answers from them, not from general knowledge about products like yours.

  3. Set upBeta

    Step 3: Add pages from your website

    Index the pages you choose, such as a size guide or a shipping page, into the knowledge base.

  4. AI agent

    Step 4: Recommend and answer, with links

    The AI suggests products that match the question and answers the follow-ups. If the answer isn't in your catalogue or documents, it hands off instead of guessing.

  5. Handoff

    Step 5: Send big purchases to sales

    Describe the situations for a person, such as bulk or team orders, custom requests or high-value purchases. The AI hands those conversations to your sales team with the reason.

  6. Your team

    Step 6: Track them in the pipeline

    Your team moves the conversation through a sales pipeline tied to it. If the shopper goes quiet, follow-ups (up to three) respect your quiet hours.

What you need

What the AI needs to answer well.

The AI can only be as good as the catalogue and documents you give it. That's the whole setup.

Connections and setup

  • Shopify

    Native connection. The catalogue the AI recommends from, with prices, stock and links.

  • Your documents

    Size guides, materials, care, shipping and returns, uploaded to the knowledge base.

  • Pages from your websiteBeta

    The pages you choose, indexed into the knowledge base.

  • A sales team and pipeline

    A team for handoffs and pipeline stages that match how you sell.

Good to know

  • Website indexing covers the pages you add, not your whole site automatically. Check which pages are indexed.
  • The AI answers from your catalogue and documents. When the answer isn't there, it hands off rather than guessing.
  • The AI doesn't create discount codes or take payment in the chat. The purchase happens in your store.
  • The AI replies in Spanish and English.
  • On Instagram and Messenger, replies follow Meta's 24-hour messaging window.

What to measure

See where questions turn into orders.

Dashboard names, not promised numbers. You see your own figures; we don't publish benchmarks.

  • Sales

    How conversations and the orders that follow them move, day by day.

  • Funnel

    Where conversations stop on the way from first message to order.

  • AI quality

    What the AI answered, what it handed off and why.

  • Follow-ups

    Which follow-up step gets the replies.

Pre-sale questions

Where do the product recommendations come from?
From your live Shopify catalogue. The AI suggests products that match the question, with the price and a link to the product page.
Can it answer size, material or care questions?
Yes, from the guides and documents you upload and the website pages you index. If the answer isn't there, it hands the conversation to your team.
Does it read my whole website?
No. You choose the pages to index into the knowledge base, and you can check which ones are indexed.
What happens with a bulk or custom order?
Add it to the situations that need a person. The AI hands the conversation to your sales team with the reason, and your team tracks it in the pipeline.
Can the AI offer a discount?
No. It doesn't create discount codes. If you run a promotion, add it to your knowledge so the AI can mention it; the purchase happens in your store.
