What to Expect

Delivers real time support without scripts, menus, or handoffs.

n8n workflow diagram for AI-powered store chat, triggered by messages, using multiple tools for search, analysis, video details, and structured responses.

An AI agent responds to customer questions as they come in, whether they’re looking for a specific item or just asking when the store opens. It searches your product catalog or store info automatically and replies in plain language. Built with n8n, it runs in the background without any need for manual input or setup.

You get consistent answers, zero backlog, and support that doesn’t break.

The old way?
Done manually.

Here’s what the old process looked like:
Watch customers get stuck in dropdown menus
Wait for human agents to come back online
Miss product questions that could’ve led to a sale
Pay for chat tools that don’t close the loop
Lose buyers who bounce before they get an answer
You spent more on support, and still lost good leads.

The new way?
Fully automated.

With this automation, the entire process gets handled for you:
Respond to any product or store question in real time
Pull up pricing, SKUs, and stock details automatically
Share store hours, return policies, or location info fast
Skip scripted flows and long setup times
Keep customers moving without lifting a finger
You turn browsers into buyers with zero back-and-forth.

How the Automation Comes Together

A few connected tools handle everything quietly in the background to deliver fast and accurate responses.

n8n routes each customer question to the right tool, while Google Drive stores product information and store details for easy access.

OpenAI writes human-like replies quickly, and vector memory keeps track of context to make every response feel seamless.

What You'll Gain

90% less time spent answering product questions

The AI agent replies instantly, so your team can focus on what actually needs a human touch.

Accurate, every time

It pulls product details like price, category, and SKU with pinpoint accuracy.

No more “are you open?” tickets

Store hours, policies, and common questions are handled automatically, no agent needed.

Built to adapt

Swap out product catalogs or update documents anytime—no need to rebuild the automation.

Smart memory, not storage

The agent remembers just enough during the session to stay helpful, then clears it all by design.

What We Actually Tell the AI

This is the exact prompt we send to GPT-4o. It takes the raw form inputs and turns them into clear, natural messages your team would be comfortable sending.

Store Chat Assistant Prompt

Role Instructioning → Sets the assistant’s role as a clothing store helper responsible for analyzing user chat messages.

‍Instructional Prompting → Directs the assistant to check whether the user is searching for a product and take the correct next step.

‍Behavioral Constraints → Requires the assistant to output a specific JSON format with "search": true when product intent is detected and to use the personal_shopper tool.

‍Conditional Logic Prompting → Redirects queries about store details like address or opening hours to the RAG tool instead of the shopping tool.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve covered the usual questions. Got a unique one? Send us an email

Can it handle both product searches and store info questions?

Yes. It knows the difference. Ask about a product and it pulls keywords, prices, SKUs, and categories. Ask about hours or addresses and it answers that too. One agent, two jobs, no confusion.

Do I need to know how to code to use this?

No. If you’ve used tools like Zapier or connected an app before, you’ll be fine. And if you haven’t, setup support is part of the deal.

Does it remember anything after the chat ends?

No. Each session is temporary. Once the conversation ends, the memory clears. It’s designed that way, clean, private, and safe every time.
