Product Recommendation Chatbot
An AI shopping assistant that learns what customers want and recommends the perfect products from your catalog.
How it works
Train the chatbot on your product catalog including descriptions, specifications, pricing, and customer reviews. When shoppers visit your store, the AI asks about their needs, preferences, and budget, then recommends the best-matching products from your inventory. It handles side-by-side comparisons, explains the differences between similar items, and suggests complementary accessories or upgrades. For stores with large catalogs where browsing is overwhelming, the recommendation bot acts as a personal shopping assistant that narrows choices quickly. It also learns from purchase patterns to improve suggestions over time, and can surface trending or seasonal products when relevant to the conversation.
Sample conversations
Which laptop is best for video editing?
What is the difference between the Pro and Standard plan?

Best for
Poor fit when
Your product catalog is too small (under 50 SKUs) to need recommendation logic.
Your recommendations must come from a curated stylist or expert, not an algorithm.
Your inventory data is not connected and the bot would recommend out-of-stock items.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AI learn about my products?
Upload your product catalog with descriptions, specs, pricing, and categories. The AI indexes this content and uses semantic search to match customer preferences to the most relevant products in real time.
Can the bot handle product comparisons?
Yes. When a customer is deciding between two or more products, the AI provides side-by-side comparisons highlighting key differences in features, price, and suitability for their stated needs.
Does it work for stores with frequently changing inventory?
Yes. Update your product catalog in Chatsy whenever inventory changes. The AI always references the latest catalog data, so it will not recommend out-of-stock or discontinued items if your catalog is current.
