Side by side

Product attributes first, then what the sources establish for each customer workflow, then the industries they place each agent in. Open any claim to see its source, the date it was checked, and how to request a correction. Two agents are rarely documented to the same depth, so read a difference between the two columns as a difference in the public record before reading it as a difference in the products.

What this agent was judged by

The independent evidence behind these states comes mainly from other independent sources.States rest on 2 independent sources across other independent sources, end-user review sites. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.

Workflow evidenceBilling

Illustrative scenario

I was charged twice for the same order. Can you refund the extra payment?

What to verify: Verify identity, inspect payment records, apply the refund policy, and confirm the payment-system result. If no authorized refund action is connected, hand off with the evidence.

Not established

No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability.

External report

PolyAI's own handoff documentation names billing disputes as an example of a conversation the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving.

Workflow evidenceOrders

Illustrative scenario

My order has not arrived. Where is it?

What to verify: Retrieve the correct order and current carrier status. Distinguish a real tracking update from an estimate; do not invent a delivery date.

External report

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.

Workflow evidenceReturns

Illustrative scenario

I bought this 12 days ago and opened the box. Can I return it?

What to verify: Check the actual return window, product exclusions, and order record. A policy answer and an executed return are different capabilities.

Vendor-documented

For the documented Loop Returns flow the agent does not process the return itself; it sends a pre-authenticated portal link, and the action requires an active Loop Returns account plus an API key with Order and Return scopes. Merchants can gate the action with conditions such as a 14-day order window.

Not established

Workflow evidenceProduct questions

Illustrative scenario

Does this adapter work with my exact laptop model?

What to verify: Use a current, approved compatibility source. Ask for the model when missing and distinguish documented compatibility from an assumption.

Vendor-documented

The same documentation states the agent will not reply when it cannot ground an answer in a verified source, and instead escalates; no independent evaluation of product-answer accuracy was found.

Vendor-documented

URL ingestion is documented as limited to one level below the starting URL and a maximum of ten embedded pages, and the Zendesk and Gladly knowledge syncs are marked beta. Those constrain one ingestion route rather than the capability itself, so they are recorded here rather than as a gap. No independent evidence of answer quality was found, so the verdict stays unknown.

I lost access to my email. Change the address on my account.

What to verify: Follow the approved identity-recovery process before accessing or changing account data. Escalate when identity cannot be verified.

Caveat documented

PolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously.

Illustrative scenario

What to verify: Transfer to an available team with the conversation and relevant records. Outside working hours, explain the actual follow-up path rather than promise immediate contact.

Vendor-documented

Handover configuration differs by channel: email and SMS expose customer-notification settings, while chat adds confirmation prompts, wait-time messaging and email capture.

Gorgias documents built-in handover signals (customer anger, explicit requests for a human, sensitive topics such as self-harm, violence, legal threats or financial account requests), configurable handover topics, and a pre-send draft review where "If it doesn't have enough knowledge to answer reliably...it hands over rather than guessing."Vendor-reported

Workflow evidenceSmall businesses

Illustrative scenario

A two-person support team wants to launch without a dedicated engineer.

What to verify: Validate setup effort, existing help-desk support, required integrations, and ongoing maintenance. A small customer's story alone does not establish suitability for every small business.

Caveat documented

The same complaint appears verbatim in a 2-star Shopify App Store review from GPerformance (Slovakia, 2026-07-31); Gorgias itself publishes no per-resolution dollar figure, so the $1.50 figure is a customer report, not a vendor-confirmed price.

  2. · Catalog

    Launch: 22 AI customer service agents and 532 claims, every one sourced and dated

    • Gorgias AI Agent: Added to the catalog with 26 claims and 7 rows with evidence.

    • PolyAI: Added to the catalog with 28 claims and 13 rows with evidence.

Recorded before launch

Notes the profile carried when it went live, from research before launch.

  • Gorgias AI Agent: Added the Gorgias Shopify App Store aggregate rating (4.3 across 705 reviews). The record quoted individual reviewers but not the aggregate, while another record in the catalog carried one, so the two were not documented to the same depth. Source
