‍

Without a Helpdesk like Gorgias, you have to keep Shopify open next to your email client and constantly switch tabs, copy/paste, and hope you don’t make human errors.

Gorgias’s AI Agent answers emails like a human, with empathy and personalization, to automatically resolve up to 60% of your emails.

‍

Integrations

Connect your ecommerce tech stack

Gorgias is a one-tab tool. Connect to key ecommerce apps: sync data across tools, build workflows to prioritize tickets and send automatic responses, and push updates without switching tabs.

‍

Gmail doesn’t integrate with your other tools, meaning multiple tabs and disconnected systems.

‍

Gorgias improves efficiency through Shopify integrations, workflows, and self-service options, allowing you to process refunds or provide shipping updates with one click.

Using Gmail? There isn’t any dedicated support there to help you — especially not support agents knowledgeable about the needs of ecommerce CX teams.

Capabilities ahead of the competition

Read case study↗

"Gorgias AI Agent is going to be a game-changer for us during BFCM. Immediate, personalized responses reduce the volume of repetitive inquiries and ensure our community feels supported during the busiest time of the year. Our community members have even mistaken the AI Agent for a real person, which speaks volumes about how well it aligns with our brand voice.”
