Shopping agent

The more capable assistant that can actually take action on a shopper's behalf - safely, within their own account.

NShop ships a second AI surface - a shopping agent. Where the storefront chat answers questions, the agent can take action: search the catalog, add items to the cart, look up the shopper's orders, and remember their preferences. It's opt-in and runs as a separate secure service hosted in the EU.

What it can do

The agent works only within the shopper's own account and the store they're visiting. In a single conversation it can:

  • Search the catalog and pull full detail on products.
  • Add the right item (and the right variant) to the cart.
  • Look up the shopper's own orders and read back status and tracking.
  • Remember preferences like size or material for next time.

What it can render

  • Product cards with image, price, stock, and an Add to cart button wired to the agent itself - no leaving the conversation to act.
  • Order detail blocks with status timeline, tracking link, and items.
  • Comparison tables when the shopper asks "which of these is better for…".
  • Preference summaries ("I have you down for size M and a preference for organic cotton - should I prioritize that?").

What makes it "agentic"

The agent decides which steps to take and in what order. A single turn might:

  1. Search the catalog.
  2. Pull full detail on two candidates.
  3. Compare them.
  4. Check the shopper's saved size preference.
  5. Show an Add-to-cart card for the right variant.

The shopper writes one sentence; the agent does the rest.

How it stays safe

  • Acts only within the shopper's own account. Browsing and search are open to anyone, but anything private - cart, orders, preferences - works only for a signed-in shopper and only on their own data.
  • Scoped to one store. The agent only ever sees the products and orders of the store the shopper is on. One store's data can't reach another.
  • Short-lived, secure access. Each request is granted brief, tightly scoped access that expires quickly, so nothing lingers.
  • Every action is re-checked. Even if the AI attempted something it shouldn't, the action itself verifies who's asking and refuses if it doesn't add up.

Picking up where you left off

  • For signed-in shoppers, conversations are saved to their account, so they can return to a thread later.
  • For anonymous shoppers, conversations stay in their own browser and are protected against tampering, so the agent only ever trusts genuine history.
  • A shopper can sign in mid-conversation and carry over their anonymous thread into their account, with their consent.
