Answers to Product Questions

The AI agent is trained on your product catalog. It knows which items are in stock, colors/sizes available, and key details (materials, usage, care instructions). It can even suggest related products just like an attentive sales clerk would.

Order Tracking and Support

The AI agent integrates with your order system. When a customer asks “Where’s my order #12345?”, FirstConnect.ai can check the tracking info and respond. If a customer wants to initiate a return or exchange, the AI agent can walk them through the basic steps or send them a return label via email if your system supports that.

Capturing Leads and Callbacks

If someone calls after hours about a high-value item, the AI agent will answer with the info and can take their contact details, offering to arrange a callback or even schedule a private viewing appointment during store hours. You’ll get a notification so you can follow up personally.

Upselling and Cross-selling

Frequently asked questions

Can FirstConnect.ai handle both my physical store’s calls and my online chat?

Definitely! FirstConnect.ai is omnichannel.

How do I teach the AI agent about my products and policies?

During onboarding, you’ll provide us with your product catalog (which can be as simple as a spreadsheet), plus any Q&A you want it to know – like your shipping times, return policy, store hours, etc. You can also let us know any upsell pairings or common customer questions. FirstConnect.ai uses this data to build its knowledge base. And don’t worry – it’s easy to update. Add a new product or change a price? Just update the info, and the AI agent will adjust its answers accordingly.

What if a customer wants to speak to a “real person” or has an issue the AI agent can’t solve?

The AI agent will do its best to handle routine questions and requests, but it knows its limits. In such cases it will forward the call or collect details for a call back.
