New

Your agent has Shopify order tracking details, not just a status

Seth no longer stops at “fulfilled” or “processing.” He can now relay full tracking info—carrier, estimated arrival, and any in-transit updates.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Caller requests an order update.

  2. Seth queries your order system for tracking number, carrier, and ETA.

  3. Customer hears the full tracking info—no more vague statuses.

Improved

New pricing plans

Since then: Pay per call replaced these plans. See pricing

We created way simpler pricing plans, and made sure we can help you in the best way possible.

Improved

Dynamic variables fallbacks

A much requested feature: when there is no info about some customers, dynamic variables like {{customer_name}} can be automatically replaced by defaults.

Example: your greeting is "Hey {{customer_name}}, how can I help?"

You add the word "there" as fallback for {{customer_name}}.

What the agent says when there is no known customer name: "Hey there, how can I help?"

How to use it

New

Your agent knows and remembers customers

Connect your customer database and pull up customer info before the AI phone agent picks up an inbound call.

Here's how it works:

  1. Customer calls

  2. AI checks if a customer exists with that phone number

  3. AI pulls up the customer data and then picks up

This all happens in under 1 second.

Your agent remembers previous conversations

The agent pulls up the transcript of conversations that it already had with that same customer, allowing it to help the customer faster.

Multi-language

Instead of having an AI agent for each language, you now need only 1! Choose the Multi language and your agent can switch to all these languages on the go:

  • English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Dutch

Example conversation:

Customer: Hi, I have a question about my order.
​
AI: Of course! Can you tell me your order number?

Customer: Sí, es 45678.
​AI: Gracias. Tu pedido fue enviado ayer. Deberías recibirlo mañana.

Customer: D’accord, merci beaucoup.
​AI: Avec plaisir. Avez-vous d'autres questions ?

Customer: Nope, that’s all.
​AI: Great! Have a nice day.
