Product selection and comparison with an AI agent

An AI agent clarifies the intended use and budget, searches the connected catalog and helps customers compare suitable products.

The customer context

I need a vacuum for a small flat, under 18,000 dinars.

Customers may know their intended use but not a model name. A conversation turns those requirements into a check of your actual offer.

What remains after the conversation

The AI agent compared two models against the budget and available space and gave a specific recommendation with prices and differences.

  1. Customer

    I need a vacuum for a small flat, under 18,000 dinars.

  2. Telp

    Is compact storage or cordless operation more important?

  3. Customer

    Compact storage. Please compare two models within that budget.

  4. Telp

    I compared Compact and Mini: Compact costs 14,900 RSD, stores upright and has a larger container. Mini costs 12,500 RSD and takes up less space. For your small flat, I recommend Mini.

Recommendations grounded in intended use and catalog data

The AI agent starts with the customer's criteria: space, budget, dimensions or intended use. It then checks which product attributes actually exist in the catalog. Connecting that range is explained in online store integrations.

A useful answer explains a difference that matters to this customer rather than naming one item as best for everyone. Once the customer chooses a product, the next step follows the supported ordering process.

An important attribute is missing

If width or compatibility is not listed, the agent does not fill the gap with an assumption. Sales needs to verify it before the final choice.

No item meets every requirement

The agent can clarify which criterion matters most. It should not describe a more expensive or larger product as a perfect fit without explaining the difference.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Must the customer know a product code?

No. They can describe their needs, intended use or budget. Selection quality also depends on catalog data.

Can a customer compare two specific models?

Yes, when both models are identified and their data is available. The agent can explain recorded differences relevant to the intended use.

Does the agent recommend the most expensive item?

Recommendations should follow the customer's criteria and available data. Price alone does not establish that a product better suits the need.

What if the customer has a strict budget?

The agent uses the stated budget as a criterion. If the available range does not fit, it should say so rather than hide the price difference.

Can it guarantee that a spare part fits?

Only explicit, reliable information can support that answer. A similar name or photograph is not sufficient confirmation of compatibility.

Does choosing a product automatically create an order?

No. Selection and comparison come before purchase, which requires a supported flow, necessary details and a successful action in the connected store.
