About
Gorgias is a comprehensive conversational AI platform purpose-built for ecommerce brands, trusted by over 15,000 merchants worldwide. At its core, Gorgias combines an intelligent AI Agent, a centralized helpdesk, live chat, voice, and SMS into a single unified workspace so support teams never have to switch between tools. The AI Agent acts as a 24/7 digital teammate, autonomously resolving approximately 60% of common support inquiries such as order status, returns, and FAQs—freeing up human agents to focus on complex cases. Its Shopping Assistant engages customers proactively with personalized product recommendations that have been shown to increase conversions by up to 2.5x. Gorgias integrates natively with Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce, enabling agents to edit orders, issue refunds, and access real-time product data directly from the helpdesk. With 100+ integrations including Yotpo, Recharge, Loop Returns, and Attentive, it connects seamlessly into existing ecommerce tech stacks. The platform is especially well-suited for mid-market to enterprise clothing, beauty, health, subscription, and food & beverage brands seeking to reduce support costs, increase customer lifetime value, and deliver personalized shopping experiences at scale.
