Most shoppers abandon your store because they can't find what they're looking for. Bookbag's AI agent reads the context of every conversation and surfaces the most relevant products from your catalog — complete with images, prices, and direct add-to-cart links — so customers buy instead of bouncing.
The problem
Generic category pages and static 'You might also like' carousels convert poorly because they ignore what the customer actually said. A shopper asking 'do you have anything good for dry skin in the summer?' needs a curated answer, not a wall of SKUs. Without intelligent recommendations built into your support channel, that intent evaporates into a bounce.
- Shoppers can't easily navigate large catalogs and give up before finding the right product
- Static recommendation widgets don't adapt to what customers express in chat
- Support agents lack the bandwidth to manually curate suggestions for every inquiry
- Revenue-intent conversations go unrecognized and fall through to a generic FAQ answer
How Bookbag handles it
Understands the shopper's intent
Bookbag parses the customer's message — skin type, occasion, budget, size constraints — and builds a semantic query against your product catalog in real time.
Pulls ranked matches from your catalog
Using your Shopify product data, tags, and descriptions, Bookbag surfaces the top 3–5 products most likely to satisfy that specific request.
Delivers rich cards in chat
Each recommendation appears as a rich product card with image, name, price, and a direct link to the PDP or an add-to-cart button — no friction, no redirect maze.
Follows up with alternatives
If the shopper says 'not quite what I had in mind,' Bookbag refines the recommendation set based on the new feedback — just like a knowledgeable sales associate would.
