Aide is an AI customer service platform aimed at ecommerce teams, with deep Shopify integration at its core. Instead of only drafting polite answers, Aide's AI agent can act: once a shopper verifies their order, the agent can cancel it, issue a refund, change a shipping address, remove an unshipped item or start a return within the store's own rules and return window. That makes it closer to a support teammate than a scripted chatbot.
It is designed to fit whatever stack a brand already has. Teams that live in Zendesk, Gorgias or Front keep those tools and let Aide draft replies as internal notes, step in once an inbox goes live, and write topic classifications back as tags. Teams that want a single system can run Aide Helpdesk as the inbox and Aide Chat on the storefront and website, with email forwarding or Gmail connected alongside it.
Control is the other half of the product. Every support topic carries an AI level that the team chooses — AI Agent, Drafts or None — and new topics start at Drafts so a human confirms before anything happens. Refunds require teammate approval by default and large refunds require an Owner or Admin, while an audit log records who approved what. The company advertises a 76%+ AI resolution rate and a free entry tier.
