Description

Gorgias AI Agent is the automation layer inside the Gorgias help desk, aimed at [removed:] Shopify[added:] ecommerce [removed:] and[added:] merchants [removed:] other[added:] running [removed:] ecommerce[added:] Shopify [removed:] merchants.[added:] stores. It answers inbound customer messages across email, chat, [removed:] SMS[added:] SMS, [added:] WhatsApp and [removed:] social[added:] Instagram [removed:] channels,[added:] and [added:] Facebook Messenger, and can trigger configured actions against Shopify and connected apps such as returns portals, subscription tools and 3PLs. This record scopes only to the AI agent within the Gorgias help desk, not to the wider help desk, inbox, voice or analytics products. Gorgias bills the agent on an outcome basis, charging when it resolves a conversation without handing over to a human.

Notes

Orders

Documented limits apply within the capability rather than negating it: a cancellation is not passed to third-party logistics or fulfilment apps, an address change that alters tax or shipping cannot be refunded or charged by the agent, order modification applies to unfulfilled orders only, and item replacement is limited to one item with multi-item or paid replacements escalated to a human.[added:] One independent report describes the agent acting on a removed cancellation action for about 12 hours, a failure in configuration changes rather than in the actions themselves.

Industry · Retail and e-commerce

Gorgias is positioned for ecommerce brands, and [removed:] a merchant[added:] merchants reviewing on the Shopify App [removed:] Store[added:] Store, [removed:] reports[added:] a [added:] coffee roaster and a footwear brand, report the agent handling [removed:] order[added:] order, [added:] shipping and [removed:] shipping[added:] inbound [added:] support questions. [removed:] One[added:] Two [removed:] reviewer[added:] reviewers [removed:] describes[added:] describe [removed:] one[added:] two [removed:] store,[added:] stores, not the segment.

Billing

[added:] Documented billing coverage is subscription management through Recharge. Most Recharge actions run only when the shopper has a single active subscription, a replacement that raises an order total is handed to the team, and Gorgias's handover documentation names billing disputes as a topic to route to a human. No AI Agent action for invoices, card charges or chargebacks was found.

Complaints

[added:] The documented complaint path is narrow: image reading is not supported in SMS, and the agent always hands over when it detects anger or frustration, a behaviour merchants cannot turn off. No dedicated complaint-resolution or goodwill-compensation capability was found.

Mid-market

[added:] Gorgias tags Pepper as an Enterprise customer; the headcount and revenue stated on the same page describe a mid-sized company. The automation rate is the vendor's own figure.

Enterprise

[added:] The 15,000 tickets a month is well above the 50 to 5,000 range Gorgias's pricing page describes. Figures are the vendor's own, and Gorgias applies its company-size tags loosely: it also tags Pepper, a 50-person brand, as Enterprise. No independent source places the AI Agent at enterprise scale.

Channel · SMS

[added:] Gorgias's SMS documentation requires its SMS add-on and a phone number set up for SMS before the agent can answer there.

Channel · WhatsApp

[added:] Open beta. Requests that change a shopper's account or orders are handed to the team, because one-time passwords are not yet supported on WhatsApp.

Channel · Social messaging

[added:] Open beta, covering Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger. The agent answers direct messages only, not public posts, mentions or comments.
