Conversational Commerce
Last updated March 25, 2026
Conversational commerce is the practice of selling products and services through chat-based interfaces, including AI chatbots, messaging apps, and voice assistants.
Conversational commerce bridges the gap between customer service and sales by turning every chat interaction into a potential purchase opportunity. Modern tools like Rep AI, Manifest AI, and Tidio Lyro use AI that understands product catalogs, customer preferences, and purchase intent.
