What is conversational commerce?

Instead of relying on rigid e-commerce pathways, conversational commerce dynamically adapts customer journeys to individual preferences, creating seamless and personalized interactions. Advances in AI and natural language processing facilitate human-like, context-aware conversations, delivering tailored recommendations and streamlining the shopping experience across multiple channels. By integrating composable architectures with conversational systems, businesses can enhance engagement, boost operational efficiency, and cultivate lasting customer loyalty through intuitive, AI-powered interactions.

An example from fashion retail industry

In fashion retail, conversational AI enhances the shopping experience by providing a personalised and engaging journey from the first interaction. Customers are greeted with tailored recommendations based on past preferences, creating a sense of value and understanding. Through intelligent exchanges, AI curates product discovery by analysing responses and refining suggestions to match individual styles. It interprets natural language and images to offer dynamic product recommendations, highlight key features, and address concerns, mimicking the role of an in-store stylist. AI also supports decision-making with real-time updates on stock, promotions, and reviews, building trust and confidence. At checkout, it streamlines the process with saved payment details, automatic data retrieval, and voice authorisation, ensuring a fast, frictionless, and personalised transaction.
