Industries · Retail & E-commerce
Answer shoppers around the clock, an AI agent that answers stock and hours and captures the sale, and never takes a card number or promises what it can’t see in store.
A shopper wants your hours, whether something is in stock, and if you can hold it. Fred answers the general questions, captures the lead, and routes your team, while card details, holds, and order changes go straight to a person and your secure systems.
Built for PCI-DSS and FTC rules. Every payment and order action stays in your secure systems.
Talk to Fred.
Server-side guardrails
Online retail runs on payments and promises, the two places a careless answer turns into a chargeback, a lawsuit, or a breach. This is the compliance panel you manage in the admin: the industry pack automation, your own custom rules, and the hard limits Fred holds no matter how it’s asked. All of it is enforced on our servers before a word reaches the visitor. Not a suggestion in a prompt a clever question can talk around.

The boundaries Fred holds, no matter how a visitor asks.
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your store. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, PCI-DSS payment-security rules and FTC consumer-protection law, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Every conversation lands in your CRM with a lead score, a purchase probability, and a plain-language summary. The shopper ready to come in or buy gets routed before the browser, so your team works the warmest lead first instead of guessing.
Payment details belong in secure, PCI-compliant checkout, never a chat box. Fred walks you to checkout and routes support for anything order-related. That boundary is enforced on our servers before Fred ever speaks, not suggested in a prompt a clever question can talk around.
Fred captures the request and routes your team to confirm the hold, since stock changes in real time. It won’t promise a hold it can’t see.
Fred routes support, who can pull up and change orders. It doesn’t have direct access itself.
Fred captures the lead and routes your team to follow up and close. Direct integration depends on the tools you run. Our training videos show you how, or you can add a paid setup.
