Lightspeed + Minimal AI
Minimal AI connects to Lightspeed eCom to access your product catalog, order data, and customer information. The AI agent uses this data to provide instant, accurate responses to customer inquiries about orders, products, and store policies. Beyond looking up information, the AI can also take actions in Lightspeed on behalf of your team.
Every company connects their tools differently. The AI Manager figures out how yours work and sets up Lightspeed for you.
AI customer support for Lightspeed stores
Lightspeed merchants juggle online and in-store operations, which means support questions come from everywhere, order status, stock at a specific location, product details, returns. Minimal AI connects to Lightspeed eCom and handles these automatically with live data from your store.
Automate Lightspeed order and inventory support
The most common support tickets for Lightspeed merchants are about orders and stock availability. Minimal AI checks your Lightspeed store for order status, tracking info, product variants, and real-time inventory, then responds to the customer directly. No copy-pasting from your admin panel.
