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, the highest rate we have measured on any merchant.

“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 they rolled it out
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?
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.
