Key results for a coffee & espresso store
Measured in AskSpot over a 30-day window. A typical chat-driven order runs to 2.3 items – a kilo of beans and the filter or the descaler that goes with it. More than one chat in five ends in a purchase.

“AskSpot doesn’t just answer questions – it sells. The numbers we’d hoped for from a chatbot, we got from AskSpot in the first month.”
Before AskSpot
Two shops sharing one basket
Konesso sells coffee, and coffee is chosen by taste: sweet, no bitterness, no acidity, and it still has to hold its own under milk. Nothing on a product page answers that. It is the question you ask a person behind a counter, and answering it well takes someone who has actually drunk the thing – which meant an adviser, one shopper at a time.
The other half of the catalogue does not work like that at all. Machines, grinders, moka pots, and behind them a long tail of parts that either fit or do not: a water filter for a Jura E8 in the EC revision, a 63 mm gasket for a four-cup Bialetti Venus, a milk tube set for a C8. That is a fitment problem, closer to car parts than to coffee, and getting it wrong means a return. Both kinds of question arrived on the same widget – and most of them after the shop had closed.

Rollout
How Konesso rolled out AI chat on IdoSell
One module, three jobs, in the order a coffee purchase actually happens: pick the beans, pick the machine, then keep the machine alive.
Step 01
Taste-Profile Grounding
Choosing coffee the way a barista would
The 103,730-product IdoSell catalogue was indexed on the things that actually decide a bag of coffee – roast level, acidity, body, tasting notes, the brewing method it was blended for, and the roast date. The agent also carries one service fact it can act on: Konesso grinds to order, so it asks how you brew before it recommends.
What shoppers ask
- A sweet coffee, no bitterness, no acidity, for an automatic machine
- Can you grind it for a V60 before you ship it?
- Decaf beans for a dripper
Step 02
Machine Advisory
The four-figure decision
Espresso machines are where the money is and where the questions get hardest – Jura against Melitta, a milk jug against a steam wand, one revision of a model against the next. The agent was given the comparison axes that genuinely separate them, plus the two facts that close the sale: warranty length, and where the nearest authorised service point is.
What shoppers ask
- Nivona 820 or Melitta Barista SE F83 – which is better?
- A machine for an office of 20, up to €1,150
- What is the difference between the 820 and the 821?
Step 03
Parts & Fitment Matching
The part that has to fit
Filters, gaskets, milk tubes, descalers and cleaning tablets were mapped to the machines they fit, down to the revision – a Jura E8 in the EC revision takes a chipped CLARIS Smart PLUS and will not accept the older cartridge. It is the same job a car-parts catalogue does, and it is why 57% of the chats where the agent recommends something end in a click on one of its picks.
What shoppers ask
- Which water filter fits a Jura E8 EC?
- Do you have gaskets for a 4-cup Bialetti Venus?
- Do Kalita Wave 155 filters fit a Timemore Crystal Eye B75?
Around the clock
Your busiest hours aren't nine to five
Each bar is the share of chats by hour of day, in local time. The shaded window is when a typical team is at their desks. Everything outside it is the agent working a shift no one else is on.
From real conversations
What Konesso shoppers actually ask
Half of everything asked is one shopper choosing one thing – finding it, checking the spec, comparing two models, confirming a part will fit. Order status is 3.9%. This is a selling desk, not a support desk. The surprise is third place: discount codes and loyalty points are 15% of all conversations, and most of those are not "give me a code" but "why isn't my code coming off the total?" – a checkout problem the agent can actually solve.
