What is REP
REP AI is an AI commerce platform for ecommerce brands that combines an AI sales agent, AI support agent, AI helpdesk, and shopper intelligence layer.
Ecommerce brands need a platform built for them. Shopper conversations aren’t only support issues, they’re buying signals. REP AI understands ecommerce context, product discovery, buying hesitation, cart momentum, post-purchase support, and revenue-driving conversations.
Many visitors leave because they can’t find the right product, have unanswered questions, or become overwhelmed with options. REP AI identifies those moments and starts conversations to engage shoppers before they become tickets, abandoned carts, or lost sales.
REP AI treats customer interactions as buying opportunities. When customers ask questions, REP AI will answer first, then follow up with helpful suggestions like product comparisons, bundles, cross-sells, and other recommendations.
Support conversations contain valuable information. Customer reveal why they hesitate, the information they feel is missing, competitors they’re looking at, and more. REP AI transforms this data into structured business intelligence that’s shared across all teams.
Tidio is built around chat, a helpdesk and a general AI agent for many kinds of business. REP AI is built around the ecommerce customer journey: it supports shoppers before purchase, resolves order issues after purchase, and turns those conversations into insights your team can use.
A sale is attributed to REP AI only when the AI helped during the shopping session, such as recommending a product or answering a question. If the shopper only clicked the chat icon, got a greeting, asked for a human, or received an unhelpful answer, REP filters that sale out.
Don't take our word for it.
