It answers from your business.

You choose every source.

The four ways to give Dolphin AI knowledge in AskDolphin: website pages, products, Help Center articles and your own questions and answers.

Your Shopify catalogue, ready for questions

Connect Shopify and Dolphin AI answers from your real products. Add notes to a product that only AskDolphin uses, without changing your listing. Archive a product and Dolphin AI stops using it. The Shopify live chat page shows the rest.

Website chat, QR codes and email.

You set the rules for each.

Separate Dolphin AI switches in AskDolphin for Live Chat, QR code and Email, with QR chats set to answer when agents are offline.

Each channel has its own switch, so Dolphin AI answers only where you turn it on.

  • Answers in your chat widget, either always or only when your agents are offline.

  • Answers the chats that start from a scan, with the same always-or-offline choice.

  • One AI agent per mailbox. Automatic replies stay off until you turn them on.

Each email agent has its own reply instructions and sender address, skips obvious spam, promotions, bounces and automated messages, and adds an AI footer to every email it sends.

Customers can talk to it

Customers can speak to Dolphin AI instead of typing, and have its replies read aloud. It is part of the chat widget on every plan, and it works with Dolphin AI only: your team reads and answers in text.

  • Its name

    Customers meet Dolphin AI, your brand, or a name you pick.

  • Its picture

    Give it a face, so every chat looks like your brand.

  • Its tone

    Friendly, professional or luxury: it sounds like your shop.

  • How forward it sells

    Let it wait to be asked, or start with a helpful suggestion.

The AI answers. Your team decides.

Dolphin AI hands a conversation to a person when a customer asks for one, and nothing that changes an order happens without your team.

The AI never approves a request by itself.

  • A person, when asked

    When a customer asks for a person, your team gets a "Handoff requested" alert that opens the chat.

  • Join in one click

    Anyone on your team can join a conversation Dolphin AI is handling and take it from there.

  • Action Review

    Cancellations, refunds and delivery or contact changes wait as requests until a person approves or rejects them.

  • Off when you say

    One switch turns Dolphin AI off everywhere. Each channel and each chat action has its own.

You pay for what it writes.

Dolphin AI costs $0.50 for every 1,000 characters it writes. Your customers' messages and the knowledge it reads are free.

An estimate. Dolphin AI costs $0.50 for every 1,000 characters it writes; we count about 700 characters for a conversation it answers, and about 4 minutes for a person on your team to handle the same conversation. Set a monthly limit and Dolphin AI never goes past it.

Questions about Dolphin AI by AskDolphin

What is Dolphin AI by AskDolphin?

Dolphin AI is the AI assistant inside AskDolphin that answers your customers on website chat, email and QR codes. It answers from the knowledge you add, and hands the conversation to your team when a person should take over.

What does AskDolphin's AI answer from?

Only from the Data Sources you add: pages from your website, your products, your Help Center articles and the questions and answers you write. You see every source in one list, and a product you archive is no longer used.

Does Dolphin AI by AskDolphin reply to customers automatically?

Only where you turn it on. In website live chat and on QR codes, you choose whether it answers always or only when your agents are offline. Automatic email replies are off by default; until you turn them on, your team uses Dolphin Reply and the writing assistant.

Can customers reach a person in AskDolphin instead of the AI?

Yes. When a customer asks for a person, Dolphin AI hands over and your team gets a "Handoff requested" alert. Anyone on your team can join a conversation the AI is handling.

Can AskDolphin's AI cancel or refund an order by itself?

No. Dolphin AI never approves a request by itself. Cancellations, refunds and delivery or contact changes go to Action Review, where a person on your team approves or rejects them.
