AI Sales Assistant: RAG-Powered AI Chatbot for PrestaShop
AI Sales Assistant is not an ordinary chatbot plugged into an LLM: it is an e-commerce sales assistant powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Before generating each reply, it retrieves the exact products, CMS policies, and FAQs relevant to the shopper's query, answering strictly based on verified store data. Real-time database pricing, add-to-cart, order tracking, human handoff. Use your own Google Gemini or OpenAI API key with zero monthly module subscriptions.

Why choose RAG over standard AI chatbots?
Standard AI chatbots often invent products, promise discounts you do not offer, or quote inaccurate prices. AI Sales Assistant with RAG solves this fundamentally: when a customer asks a question, the module performs an indexed semantic search across your active products, categories, stock levels, and CMS pages, feeding only verified facts into the prompt before generating the final response.
Key Features
- Live Catalog Grounding: prices, attributes, and stock availability are checked against your database at the exact moment of the conversation.
- One-Click Add to Cart: the assistant presents interactive product cards inside the chat window with direct "Add to Cart" buttons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a monthly subscription?
No. You purchase the module once. You connect your own Google Gemini API key (often free within Google's tier or fractions of a cent per query) or OpenAI key. You only pay for what you use directly to the AI provider.
Can the AI hallucinate fake prices or products?
The RAG architecture prevents hallucinations by constraining the AI to answer solely based on the structured catalog extracts provided in real time.
