easy to use and have many features
Very happy with the application. It covers all my needs and even more. Thanks to the developers. Special thanks to Kevin for helping with the setup and incredible support and making the necessary changes for our store!
So far so good! Amazing experience.
Product works well with my site and the ability to add training data at any time is wonderful. It has done a good job answering customers' questions and sending customers to us when there isn't a great automated answer for a very specific question. It also is very polite when visitors try to add emojis or other non-que
AI Chatbot saves a lot of time answering customers' questions. It was easy to set up, and the information given to customers by AI is accurate. I love the integration with Shopify Inbox: I get notifications about new messages on my phone's Inbox app!

Migration support varies by app and category. Chizy: AI Chatbot & Live Chat and Ernest: AI Chatbot & Helpdesk both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Ernest: AI Chatbot & Helpdesk" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
