This creates a connection between digital information and personal advice that inspires and makes brick-and-mortar retail more modern, service-oriented, and measurably more successful.

What is a shopping assistant?

A shopping assistant is an AI-powered application that provides customers with real-time support in stores. Instead of waiting for a sales assistant, customers receive immediate, accurate information about products, variants, prices, and availability.

KIra uses artificial intelligence to understand questions in natural language and provide targeted answers. This turns a sales shelf into an interactive point of contact that offers guidance and actively helps with purchasing decisions.

Unlike chatbots in online stores, KIra operates where decisions are made: in the store. This enhances the customer experience and has been proven to increase conversion rates.

Through alternative suggestions and additional recommendations, KIra improves decision quality and increases the conversion rate.

Omnichannel bridge

KIra links the store's product range with the online shop. If an item is unavailable, KIra shows alternatives or refers to the online purchase.

Easy to use

No download, no registration. KIra works immediately. Secure, intuitive, and browser-based.

How AIra works technically

KIra is a browser-based web app that is activated directly in the store via QR code . After scanning , a chat window opens where customers can ask questions or select products.

The AI in the background is based on the large language model ChatGPT. It understands natural language, interprets it in context, and links the query to data from merchandise management, PIM systems, or online shops. This enables KIra to provide information on stock, colors, variants, and cross-selling products in real time.

Technical highlights:

Starts on any smartphone, regardless of the operating system

Secure cloud architecture based on Microsoft Azure

Easy integration via standardized interfaces

Data protection compliant and low maintenance

Ongoing optimization through anonymized usage data

This allows KIra to be quickly and flexibly integrated into any retail environment without complex IT projects or additional hardware.
