Measured in AskSpot across 2,438 chats over 30 days. Fewer chats end in a sale here than at a parts shop — but two thirds of the orders are a single item, and that item costs as much as a holiday.

Before AskSpot

A pergola is not an impulse buy

Garden furniture is bought sight-unseen, assembled by the buyer, and then left outdoors for years. That combination produces a very particular kind of question: how many louvre panels does a four-metre wall need, will the resin cabinet survive a Polish winter, is 110 kg the limit per person or for the whole sofa, will the roller blind from one pergola series fit another. None of it is answered by the photograph.

They are showroom questions, asked about a €600 purchase, and 57% of them arrive after the office has closed — in the evening, on the terrace the furniture is meant for. Season makes it worse: a shopper who wants the set for the weekend cannot wait until Monday for an answer about Friday delivery.

Rollout

How they rolled it out

One module, three jobs — added in the order a shopper meets them: find the thing, be convinced it will survive, then be sure it arrives in time to matter.

AI Sales Agent

Step 01

Magento Catalogue Feed

From a vague brief to three real options

All 5,470 products came in from Magento with dimensions, materials, colours and stock. Shoppers describe a space and a budget rather than a product name — twelve people to seat, a terrace of a given size, a ceiling on price — and the agent turns that into three real options.

What shoppers ask

  • A table and chairs for twelve people
  • A garden set with an unusually soft seat
  • Why is one pergola twice the price of the other?

AI Sales Agent

Step 02

Spec & Compatibility Grounding

Modular catalogue, matched part by part

Panel widths, load ratings, frost resistance and which accessory belongs to which series were pulled into the same answer — so the agent can say a 123.5 cm panel means three for a 4 m wall, and that a PRIMARY blind does not fit a Premium pergola.

What shoppers ask

  • Can this cabinet stay out on the terrace over winter?
  • Is 110 kg the limit per person or for the whole sofa?
  • Do you sell the chemical anchors for mounting it?

AI Sales Agent

Step 03

Stock, Dispatch & Order Access

The questions that close a seasonal sale

Live stock, the 24-hour dispatch rule, courier terms and order status. Delivery is the second-largest topic at 19.3% — in a season measured in weekends, “will it be here by Friday” is the question the sale rests on.

What shoppers ask

  • If I order this table now, will it ship tomorrow?
  • Can I book a specific delivery day?
  • Will this set be back in stock, or should I pick another?

What Focus Garden shoppers actually ask

Specs, delivery terms and which-one advice are 57% of everything asked — the three things you need settled before spending €600 on something that will live outdoors all year. Behind them sits a second story: accessories and compatibility. This catalogue is modular, so a large share of chat is "will this part fit the thing I already own".

Test before you trust

Worried AI will cost you customers?

You never flip a switch and hope. Every answer is checked by our AI, our specialists and your own team before launch — and if you want extra reassurance, you can go live after hours first.

Layer 01

Self-testing AI

Every reply is checked automatically against your catalog and your rules, so off-topic or off-brand answers are caught before anyone sees them.

Vetted by experts

Our specialists challenge it with all kinds of questions, drawing on experience from dozens of e-commerce projects we've run, then sign off on the quality.

Layer 03

Tested on staging

Your own managers get a private staging environment to try the chat end to end — ask anything, push the hardest cases — and approve it before go-live.
