AI customer support for Loop Returns
Loop Returns is built around keeping revenue through exchanges and store credit. Minimal AI follows the same approach, when a customer wants to return something, the AI checks Loop for eligibility and offers an exchange or bonus credit first. The entire flow happens in conversation, no portal navigation needed.
Automate Loop Returns support
Return requests take time for agents to process: check eligibility, explain options, create the return, generate a label. The AI does all of this through Loop's API in a single conversation. Customers get their answer in seconds, and your team handles only the edge cases.
