Setup is fast because the AI Manager handles the configuration for you. Describe what you need in plain language and the connection is live in minutes, not weeks. And because we work with e-commerce teams every day, the AI already understands the patterns: order questions, return flows, shipping issues. That makes up the bulk of your support volume.
