AI WhatsApp Customer Support Platform

AI-Powered WhatsApp Customer Support & eCommerce Automation Platform

About AI WhatsApp Customer Support & eCommerce Platform

The AI WhatsApp Customer Support & eCommerce Platform is a custom web-based solution developed to help online retailers manage customer inquiries, order-related questions, product information, and support conversations through WhatsApp. It combines an AI-powered chatbot, business-managed knowledge base, eCommerce integrations, and live agent support within one connected system. Instead of handling repetitive questions manually, support teams can automate suitable responses while maintaining control over customer communication, escalation rules, and service quality.

Built around the daily requirements of eCommerce customer service, the platform uses Google Vertex AI, Gemini, and LangChain to generate responses using business-approved FAQs, support policies, product information, and conversation context. When customers ask about order status, shipment tracking, or product availability, the system can retrieve relevant live information from connected commerce services. It also processes text messages, product images, screenshots, and voice notes. Configurable fallback rules prevent unsupported responses, while automatic conversation labels help organize different customer inquiries.

The platform includes a real-time agent workspace where support employees can monitor AI responses, pause automation, take over conversations, and manage customer support tickets. It also allows agents to improve the knowledge base using useful responses from previous conversations. Automated ticket summaries, conversation insights, and management dashboards help supervisors review support activities without examining every message individually. Developed using React, Node.js, Python, MongoDB, and AWS serverless services, this project demonstrates how AI and machine learning development can connect customer support automation with existing eCommerce operations.
