Customers demand tailored shopping journeys, immediate answers, and seamless transitions between online and in-store interactions.

Let’s bring Annie to life with a practical scenario:
A customer enters a furniture store, scanning the QR code on Annie’s screen. After syncing with the retailer’s e-shop, Annie greets them:
The customer explains they need a beige sofa for their living room, within a €700 budget. Annie processes the request and displays a curated selection of sofas from both in-store and online inventory. The customer selects one, and Annie prompts:
After exploring options, the customer uploads a photo of their living room for context. Annie analyzes the image, suggesting matching rugs and coffee tables. The customer is impressed and adds a rug to their cart.
Before finalizing the purchase, Annie asks:
With just a few touches, the customer completes their order, confident in their choice. Annie emails the receipt, along with the product details and additional recommendations for future consideration.
Annie delivers measurable results that directly impact a retailer’s bottom line:
