Industry — Ecommerce & retail

An AI agent for ecommerce and retail teams

Most online revenue is lost in the gap between interest and checkout. Helios closes that gap in the thread, then keeps the post-purchase conversation from turning into a support ticket.

They run one size small, so I'd go up one. Shipping to your city arrives Thursday.10:02
Great, can you swap the M for an L?10:04

In short

Helios is an AI CX and sales agent for ecommerce and retail that recovers abandoned carts, answers product, sizing, stock and shipping questions, resolves order-status (WISMO) and returns requests, and escalates to your team — across WhatsApp, Instagram, email and phone.

What usually breaks

  • Carts abandoned with no personal follow-up
  • Order-status questions dominate the support queue
  • Instagram and WhatsApp demand outpaces the team at campaign peaks
  • Returns and exchanges eat agent hours

How Helios is deployed

WhatsApp

Cart recovery that converts

A real conversation instead of a discount blast: Helios answers the objection that stopped the purchase and completes the order in the thread.

Instagram

Social demand to checkout

DMs, comments and story replies answered in seconds, with product links and stock confirmed before the interest fades.

Email

Order status and returns

WISMO, delivery exceptions, returns and exchanges resolved automatically using live order data, with escalation on anything unusual.

Voice

Peak-season overflow

Phone volume during launches and sale periods answered without hiring a seasonal team.

Frequently asked questions

Does Helios work with Shopify or WooCommerce?

Yes. Helios reads live order, catalog and stock data from your commerce platform so answers match what the customer actually bought.

Can it issue refunds?

Only within the limits you set. Anything above your threshold is escalated to a human with the full context.

How does cart recovery work?

Helios opens a conversation on the customer's preferred channel, answers the blocking question and completes the purchase, instead of sending a generic reminder.

Will it handle campaign spikes?

Yes. Capacity does not depend on staffing, so launch and sale peaks are answered at the same speed as a quiet Tuesday.

Can my team take over a conversation?

At any moment, with the full transcript and order context attached.
