Merchants can configure agents, quizzes, search and recommendation rules, support answers and human handoff around their own catalog and policies.

Capabilities

The product combines shopper-facing guidance with the merchant controls behind it: catalog and knowledge inputs, recommendations, embedded experiences and conversion analysis. Before it is used on high-traffic or regulated product pages, the store should check that its catalog, inventory and policy rules are reflected in the customer-facing answers.

This composition map reflects Manifest AI's current operating surfaces rather than the older four-persona framing. Product guidance and shopper interactions are customer-facing; knowledge, handoff and measurement help the merchant control and improve those experiences.

What each module does and its role

Product guidance and rules

Product guidance controls which products and collections are visible to the assistant, which search mode is used, and how keyword or question-based rules boost, avoid or narrow recommendations. Merchants can test rules against the storefront assistant, while catalog freshness and availability remain source-data responsibilities.

Chat, quizzes and embeds

Chat, quizzes, conversation starters and PDP embeds give shoppers several ways to ask, compare or narrow a product choice. These are placement and interaction surfaces; they still use the configured products, knowledge and rules rather than creating an independent catalog.

Support and human handoff

The assistant can answer documented product, policy, order, return or refund questions and route selected conversations to Shopify Inbox, Gorgias, Zendesk, BIK or other connected paths. Handoff quality depends on the configured channel, business hours, permissions and the context transferred with the conversation.

Data sources and response control

Data Sources combines Shopify products with FAQs, links, files, policy text, discounts and eligible support-ticket knowledge. Merchants can simulate intent questions, regenerate answers, add manual overrides and correct responses before or after launch, keeping factual control with the store.

Analytics and experiments

Analytics and eligible A/B tests help teams inspect interaction, conversion-influence and placement performance. Those measures support iteration, but the attribution definition, traffic split and business baseline determine what the result can justify.

Commercial plans

Manifest AI publishes a free testing entry on Shopify but does not publish complete paid production tiers there. Use the free plan to validate store data, answers, recommendations and handoff, then obtain written production limits and commercial terms.

Frequently asked questions

What can Manifest AI use as its product knowledge?

Its documented inputs include catalog data, product attributes, store policies and approved knowledge sources, with Shopify-synced inventory, order and return data where applicable. These inputs should be checked before the assistant gives customer-facing guidance.

Which store job does Manifest AI address?

It is designed for Shopify product discovery and shopping guidance, with support answers and human handoff as part of the documented scope. It is not simply a general-purpose chatbot detached from the store catalog.

Is public pricing available?

The current page does not identify a public price table. A sales conversation should cover catalog scale, traffic, implementation assumptions and support.

Shopify App Store listing: Manifest AI Chatbot + ChatGPT. These reviews cover this exact app listing, not every product surface from the vendor.

Fitness OutletUnited States

We’ve had a good experience using Manifest AI (Milo) on our Shopify store. The chatbot integrates well and helps customers navigate products quickly, which improves the overall shopping experience. What stands out most is their support team. They are responsive, collaborative, and willing to work through custom logic requests with us. There is still room to improve, but the team has been proactive in helping us refine the setup. Overall, it’s a strong tool backed by a team that stands behind their product.

LA SIESTAUnited States

We recently set up the Manifest chatbot for our Shopify ecommerce site and the setup process was straightforward and clear. Everything was well explained, our information was imported from our Shopify site, and we were able to get it up and running much faster than expected. What truly stood out, though, was the support. Vivian was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He was responsive, patient, and made sure every question we had was answered clearly, just genuinely supportive guidance that made a big difference.

McClure'sUnited States

Very good application -- our consumer response rate and satisfactory resolutions has improved 90%+ in response time and answered question satisfactory.
