Retail · AI agent workflow
AI agents for retail customer service requests.
HonestAI connects AI assistants to your Commerce platform and OMS so an agent can open, update and resolve service requests — with your rules enforced and your people deciding exceptions.
The problem
Routine requests arrive by email, chat and phone, get re-keyed into a system and wait in a queue for someone to do a two-minute task.
Example in retail (illustrative)
A shopper asks to change the delivery address on an order that hasn't shipped; the agent checks the OMS and updates it.
What the agent does
- 01Identify the customer and the request type
- 02Look up the account or order in the system of record
- 03Complete the allowed action or open a case with the details filled in
- 04Confirm back to the customer with a reference
Controls
AI executes. Your people decide.
Return, refund and discount policies enforced as rules; payments confirmed by the customer.
Checks before every action
- Verified identity before any account data is shown
- Action limited to what that customer may do
- Anything outside policy routed to a person
What people own
Staff handle complaints, exceptions and anything outside the documented policy.

Questions
Customer Service Requests in retail: quick answers
- Can an AI agent handle customer service requests in retail?
- Yes, for the routine, rule-based part. The agent works through governed connectors to systems such as Commerce platform and OMS. Staff handle complaints, exceptions and anything outside the documented policy.
- How is it controlled?
- Return, refund and discount policies enforced as rules; payments confirmed by the customer. Every action is logged with an audit trail, and writes are idempotent so a repeated request never duplicates.
- How fast can we start?
- Most teams start with a 5-day integration sprint on one workflow, one system and one AI assistant or channel.
