What does Gorgias do?
Gorgias is an AI customer experience platform built for ecommerce, especially Shopify stores. Its AI Agent resolves routine conversations and recommends products inside one helpdesk for email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp and social. You pay by ticket volume and AI resolutions, never per agent, but the pricing page lists no figures. Skip it if you don't sell online.
- AI Agent. Answers and resolves routine tickets, then hands off to a person with the context when needed. Gorgias claims it can automate 60% of support.
- Selling in the conversation. Makes proactive product recommendations, and agents or the AI can cancel, discount or upsell an order without leaving the chat.
- One inbox for every channel. Email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in a shared inbox with routing and assignment.
- Native Shopify integration. Shows orders, customers and products inside each ticket; BigCommerce, Magento and WooCommerce are also supported.
- Voice. Phone support from the helpdesk, sold as an add-on priced by call volume.
- SMS. Reply to inbound text messages from the same inbox, also an add-on.
- AI coaching and revenue reporting. AI coaching for your agents and reports that attribute revenue to support conversations.
- App integrations. An app directory of 100+ integrations (the homepage also cites 300+).

Gorgias pros and cons
What stands out

Watch out for
- The pricing page shows no prices, so you can't compare costs up front

- AI resolutions are billed on top of the helpdesk fee
- Built for online stores; less of a fit for SaaS or B2B support
- Voice and SMS cost extra
