A shopper types "wireless mouse, ergonomic, under 40, USB-C receiver" and your search returns 50 mice sorted by price. None match all four criteria.
Emporiqa is AI chat that sells before the purchase and serves after it. Before the purchase it understands what the shopper means, finds matching products in your catalog (from words or a photo), compares two or more with real prices and stock, and adds the pick to the cart without leaving the conversation. After the purchase it answers delivery and return questions from your own pages and shows order status as an order card. Ready-made rules collect requests like returns and invoices and email them to your team; the chat never refunds or cancels an order itself.
When a shopper needs a person, your team takes over the chat, and the full history is already on screen. A conversation is billed once, at the shopper's first message, so bringing in a person adds no second charge. Voice is optional. You get ratings, unanswered questions, and the revenue from chats that led to purchases.
