Definition

AI sales agent

/ˌeɪ.aɪ ˈseɪlz ˌeɪ.dʒənt/noun

An AI sales agent is an autonomous digital agent that sells in a conversation. It reads a buyer’s message on WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger, answers from the shop’s own catalog, prices and policies, shows the product, quotes delivery for the buyer’s city, writes the order down and hands the chat to the seller the moment a decision needs a human. GoSmooth is one: an AI agent for ecommerce built for social sellers on WhatsApp and Instagram.

What an AI sales agent does in the first minute

Nothing waits for you. Everything stays visible to you.

01 · UnderstandIt gets what the buyer means

Arabic, French or English, including Darija typed in Latin letters. A voice note is transcribed. A photo, a screenshot or a shared reel is matched to the product in your catalog, or the agent asks you once. It remembers what this buyer asked last time.

02 · ShowIt shows, it does not just tell

Product cards with pictures, the right option and size, live stock, your price and your running promotions. Packs when a buyer wants several things. A cart that syncs back into the chat.

03 · CloseIt confirms the order

Name, a verified phone, street and city. The delivery fee and dates for that city. Cash on delivery, or an advance by bank transfer when you ask for one. Then the order is in your dashboard and the buyer gets a WhatsApp confirmation.

Three things that get called the same name

AI agent vs chatbot vs AI sales assistant: not the same thing

Buyers’ questions do not follow a script. The difference shows on the first one nobody planned for.

Without you

What it handles on its own

Everything below comes from your catalog and your settings. The agent cannot make any of it up.

  • Options and sizes

    Each option has its own price and stock. “Do you have it in M?” gets the true answer.

    M · €39 · 3 left
  • Stock and waitlist

    Sold out? It offers the waitlist and messages the first buyers when it is back.

    Sold out · 12 on the waitlist
  • Prices and promotions

    Your prices and your live promotions, exactly as you set them. Never a discount it invented.

    €49 → €39 · until Sunday
  • Delivery by city

    Fees per zone, delivery days, excluded cities said before it asks for an address.

One of one

No two agents are the same. Yours learns your shop.

Every GoSmooth agent is built from one shop: its catalog, prices, offers, delivery zones and payment terms. From its first chat it keeps a memory of its own: which product each of your posts shows, and what each of your buyers told it.

Same question, three shops, three answers

Each agent answers only from its own shop. Ask three shops’ agents the same thing and each one quotes its own product, price, offer, delivery fee and way to pay.

  • Your shop, read inCatalog, options and stock, offers, delivery zones and fees, payment terms and opening hours, with the shop described in your own words.
  • Your specialty, your rulesFor fitness, traditional clothing, streetwear and perfume shops, the questions it asks and the rules it follows are yours to edit.
  • Your changes, in the next replyChange a price, an offer or a delivery fee and the very next answer uses it.

Two things build up in your agent and nowhere else: which product each of your posts shows, and what each of your buyers told it. When it can’t tell which product a post shows, it asks you once, then it knows.

One inbox, your last word

It brings you in only when a human is worth the interruption

Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp in one inbox. The agent hands you the conversation for a custom price, a complaint, a cancellation after shipping, a receipt photo, anything your policy does not cover. Take over with one tap; it waits an hour after your last message and never argues with you in front of the buyer.

  • Custom price
  • Complaint
  • Cancel after shipping
  • Policy not covered
  • Receipt photo
Mariam A. · WhatsAppNeeds a humanYou’re in the chatAgent back on

I’d like a kaftan embroidered with my name, how much would that be?

Lovely idea. That is a custom piece, so I will ask the shop for a price and come back to you today.

“The buyer asked for a custom price.” Send your quote; the agent takes the yes or no.

Agent paused. It resumes 1 h after your last message and takes the yes or no.

Who it is for

Built for sellers who get more DMs than they can answer

Instagram shops without a websiteYour reel is the shop window, the DM is the checkout.WhatsApp sellers on cash on deliveryEvery chat ends with a verified phone and an address, not a screenshot.Stores on WooCommerce or ShopifyThe catalog syncs itself; the agent sells it where buyers actually write.

How an AI sales agent sells on Instagram and WhatsApp

Most buyers on Instagram and WhatsApp never visit a website. They write “price?” under a reel, then “do you have it in M?” in a DM, then “I’ll pay on delivery”. GoSmooth treats that thread as the checkout. The agent reads the message in whatever language it arrives in, finds the product in your catalog, and answers with a card: picture, option, price, stock. If the buyer wants two things, it offers a pack. If the product is out, it offers the waitlist or an in-stock alternative, never a promise to “check later”.

Closing is where a chatbot usually drops the sale. GoSmooth collects the name, verifies the phone, takes the street and city, quotes your delivery fee and dates for that city, and confirms the total to collect on delivery. When you ask for an advance by bank transfer, it sends your bank details itself, reminds the buyer, and alerts you when a receipt arrives. The order is in your dashboard the moment the buyer says “confirmed”.

Every reply is checked against your catalog and your policies before it goes out. Prices, promotions, stock and delivery times come from your account, never from guesswork. The moment a buyer asks for something outside your rules, a discount you did not create, a date you cannot promise, a custom quote, the agent brings you into the conversation instead of guessing.

What sellers ask

What sellers ask before they trust an agent

Six questions sellers ask, what the published numbers and the platforms’ rules say, and what the agent does.

“Does it replace my confirmation agent, or just answer questions?”

Checked 2 sources

What the data says84.1% of Moroccan online buyers paid cash at delivery in 2024 (ANRT, published October 2025), and shops pay confirmation agents 2,900 to 6,500 MAD a month to reach a 65 to 80% confirmation rate.

2Jobsquare, 2026Named in the same source line
What the agent doesIt takes the order with a verified phone, quotes the fee for the city, has the buyer confirm the recap and reminds them until they do. The confirmation job happens inside the chat, and the confirmed orders are in your dashboard.

Every figure is quoted as its source published it, with the year. Where the source is a logistics or software company rather than a regulator, a study or the platform itself, the card names it so you can weigh it. None of these numbers is a GoSmooth measurement.

Why answering every DM pays

The evidence, not the hype

What published research says about live chat and reply speed in online retail. Run it with your own numbers on the home page.

Often quoted: replying within the hour makes a lead seven times more likely to qualify (Oldroyd, McElheran & Elkington, Harvard Business Review, 2011). That is an industry audit, not a peer-reviewed study, so it is cited here and left out of the maths.

FAQ

AI sales agent questions

Short answers first. The full answer is one tap away.

An autonomous digital agent that sells in a conversation on your behalf. It reads each message, answers from your catalog and your rules, shows the product, writes the order down and hands you the chat when a decision needs a human. It acts; it does not only suggest. Some vendors call the same thing an AI sales assistant; an assistant drafts, an agent acts.

No. A chatbot follows a script and breaks on the first unexpected question. An AI sales agent reads the question, answers from your data and closes the order, and it brings you in instead of guessing. Every reply is checked against your catalog and your policies before it is sent.

Yours does, from your shop and only for your shop. It remembers which product each of your posts shows: when it can’t tell, it asks you once, and every buyer who shares that post after, even as a screenshot, gets the right product. It remembers each buyer too: name, address and language, what they passed on and what held them back. And the GoSmooth team keeps improving the agent itself with every release.

No. Each agent answers only from its own shop’s catalog, prices, offers, delivery zones and payment terms, in its own specialty, and keeps its own memory of that shop’s posts and buyers. Nothing it knows about your shop goes to another shop’s agent. Ask two shops the same question and you get two different answers.

WhatsApp, Instagram DMs and comments, and Facebook Messenger, through Meta’s official APIs. Your WhatsApp number keeps working in the WhatsApp Business app on your phone.

No. GoSmooth sells straight from your Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. Import a CSV, or connect WooCommerce or Shopify if you already have a store.

It collects name, phone and address, quotes the delivery fee for the city, and confirms the total to collect. Orders from Instagram get a WhatsApp confirmation. You can ask for an advance by bank transfer on every order or only on custom pieces.

Always, with one tap. The agent pauses while you talk and for an hour after your last message. It also hands conversations to you by itself: custom prices, complaints, anything your policy does not cover.

A Meta login for your Facebook Page, Instagram account and WhatsApp Business, and your products: a CSV, or a WooCommerce or Shopify store.
