Questions BeforeYou Hire an AI Agent.
What’s in the Yep AI Resources Hub?
Practical guides for Shopify store owners: the Yep AI blog, AI insights and research, an AI Ecommerce Glossary of plain-English definitions, and the free After-Hours Playbook.
Is the After-Hours Playbook really free?
Yes. Request it in the Playbook section on this page and you can download the PDF straight away. It covers where after-hours revenue leaks, how to estimate it for your store and five fixes that don’t need a new hire.
How do I get new articles when they’re published?
Subscribe to Ecommerce AI insights with your email address. You can unsubscribe anytime.
Do I need technical knowledge to use Yep AI?
No. Install Yep AI from the Shopify App Store and connect your store. Your AI Agents read your catalogue, policies and order data on their own, so there is nothing to script and nothing to code.
What is a Yep AI Agent?
A Yep AI Agent is a named AI team member, like the AI Support Agent, Customer Support Specialist, or the AI Marketing Agent, Marketing Specialist, that runs a specific job in your Shopify store. AI Agents answer customers, track orders, recommend products, write content and monitor operations 24/7, all from one shared view of your Shopify data.
How is an AI Agent different from a chatbot?
Scripted chatbots only know your FAQ. A Yep AI Agent is connected to your live Shopify data, so it knows that order #1023 shipped yesterday, which sizes are back in stock, and what to recommend next. It resolves the request instead of deflecting it, and hands off to a person when judgement is needed.
Is my store and customer data safe?
Yes. Yep AI uses physical data isolation per customer: your store’s data lives in its own isolated environment, separate from every other Yep AI customer. It is used only to serve your customers, never shared without your permission, and never used to train other stores’ AI Agents. You control which employees are active and what they can say.
How much does Yep AI cost?
Plans start at US$199 a month for Core, with Growth at US$299 a month as the most popular plan for 24/7 support and sales. Annual billing saves 20%. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and you can cancel anytime.
