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:
- Search the catalog.
- Pull full detail on two candidates.
- Compare them.
- Check the shopper's saved size preference.
- 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.
