One Canvas

Conversation and automation, in one agent

Your conversational AI agent isn't bolted onto a separate automation tool. Conversation logic and workflow logic run on the same canvas, share the same data, and execute as one flow.

No-Code

Live in days - not weeks

Start from a pre-built agent template, adjust it with the drag-and-drop builder, and deploy. The AI Concierge removes the lengthy setup phase most agent platforms require.

Why This Beats a Store Answering Service

An agent that books the visit, not one that takes a message

Answering Service / Website Chatbot

  • Takes a message for someone in store to action later
  • Answers from a static page with no view of live availability
  • One channel, usually a web widget or a phone line
  • Cannot book, so every appointment still needs a callback
  • Per-call or per-seat billing that climbs through peak trading
  • Central team owns the script, so each change waits in a queue

CogniAgent

  • Resolves the enquiry or books the visit in the same conversation
  • Answers from the product and store information you connect
  • WhatsApp, chat, voice, email and Teams from a single build
  • Books fittings and services directly against your live calendar
  • Pay only for what you use, no subscription and no per-seat fee
  • You build and own the agent, and changes apply immediately

PAIN POINTS

Every Unanswered Call, Wasted Trip, and Missed Booking Has a Cost

Nobody can reach the shop floor

Phones ring while staff serve customers in front of them, and the caller gives up long before anyone is free

Answers in seconds, every time

Picks up every enquiry whether it lands mid-rush or after closing, with the same information each time

A wasted trip loses the customer

A shopper who travels in for an item that is not there rarely gives the store a second chance

Checks before they set off

Answers availability as your systems show it and confirms collection, so trips are only made when worthwhile

Enquiries arrive after closing

Evening and weekend questions land when the store is shut, and by opening the shopper has bought elsewhere

Open on every channel, always

Replies whenever the question arrives, on whichever channel the shopper chose to use

Bookings need someone with the diary

Fittings and consultations depend on a person who is free, and that person is usually with a customer

Books against your live calendar

Qualifies the request, checks what is free, and confirms the slot in the same conversation

Every branch answers differently

Information drifts between locations and staff, so the same question gets a different answer each time

One answer across every location

Runs the same documented information and escalation rules everywhere, with records kept in one place

Loyalty questions interrupt the floor

Points balances, tier questions, and reward queries pull staff away from the customer standing in front of them

Loyalty answered without interruption

Handles points, tier, and reward questions from your connected records and escalates the exceptions

Frequently Asked Questions about

Conversational AI for Retail

It answers from what your connected point-of-sale and inventory records show at that moment, not a guarantee that the item is still on the shelf. Stock moves between tills and systems, so the agent reports what the system shows and says when data is unavailable.

It escalates rather than guessing. A complaint, an unusual request, or an explicit ask for a person routes to the store team with the full transcript, so the shopper never has to repeat themselves. You define which cases trigger a handoff to the floor.

Yes. It qualifies the request, checks availability on your connected calendar, and confirms the slot in the same conversation. For curbside, it confirms when an order is ready, tells the shopper where to park, and notifies your team on arrival.

Yes. One agent runs your documented information and escalation rules across every store, so the answer does not change depending on who picks up, and the conversation record stays in one place for the whole estate. Location-specific details like hours and stock stay per store.

Days rather than weeks for most retailers. Start from a pre-built template, adjust it to your store information and services, connect your calendar, and deploy. Enterprise accounts get a configured agent built for them. Most of that time goes on your decisions rather than configuration.

You buy credits and spend them on what the agent actually does, with no subscription and no per-seat fee. Cost scales with enquiry volume rather than headcount, which matters through seasonal peaks. Credits never expire, so quieter months carry forward into peak.

Yes. Get started free with no card required, and credits never expire. Production deployment activates from the first top-up, so you can build and test before committing anything. Up to five user seats are included, with all 2,700+ integrations available from the start.

You do. Transcripts and records live in your account, are never used to train public AI models, and are not shared with third parties. Retention windows are configurable, so storage can follow your own policies. Full activity logs cover every conversation and system write.
