Using AI-powered chat interfaces to facilitate product discovery, recommendation, and purchase in real time.
Conversational commerce is the practice of enabling customers to discover, evaluate, and purchase products through natural language conversations with AI-powered chat interfaces. This extends beyond simple chatbots to include sophisticated AI assistants that understand context, remember preferences, compare products, and facilitate transactions within the chat experience. Conversational commerce spans AI search platforms (ChatGPT Shopping, Perplexity), brand-owned chatbots, messaging platforms (WhatsApp, iMessage), and voice assistants.

Conversational commerce represents a fundamental shift in the buying journey.
