PrestaShop AI Assistant with Natural Voice Conversations
“Do you have something more affordable?”, “Can you recommend a product for what I need?”, “How quickly can you deliver?”. Behind many online purchases is a simple question. Imagine giving shoppers a way to ask it as naturally as they would speak to a helpful member of your team.
The PrestaShop AI Assistant by Hot Web Design introduces a more conversational shopping experience. This intelligent digital assistant understands everyday questions, responds in a natural tone and can hold voice conversations in Greek with a lifelike voice. Rather than relying on rigid menus or scripted replies, it helps customers discover relevant products and useful answers within your own online store.
A shopping conversation that feels natural
A customer does not need to know an exact product name or SKU. They can simply say, “I'm looking for a gift under €40”, “Show me something blue but not too expensive”, or “Does this come in a larger size?”. The assistant interprets the request, can ask follow-up questions and keeps the conversation moving in a familiar, helpful way.
It is designed for a dialogue, not a sequence of chatbot commands. Shoppers can refine what they want with additional questions and gradually narrow down their options, without repeatedly starting over.
Natural Greek voice conversations
Text chat is only one part of the experience. When voice conversation is enabled, customers can speak in Greek and hear naturally delivered spoken answers in Greek. They can describe what they need, request another recommendation or ask about a product without having to type.
Product suggestions can appear on screen at the same time, complete with images and links. Voice interaction and visual product discovery work together to connect the conversation with real buying options. Voice is an optional feature, enabled according to each store's configuration.
Product recommendations from your PrestaShop catalogue — not elsewhere
The assistant searches products in your own PrestaShop store, rather than sending shoppers towards unrelated listings from other retailers. Depending on the information maintained in your catalogue, it can use criteria such as:
- Price and budget: products within a customer's preferred price range.
- Stock availability: relevant options that are currently available.
- Product features and variants: size, colour, material, composition and other recorded attributes.
- Special offers and new arrivals: matching products when shoppers specifically request them.
For example, someone might ask for “cotton T-shirts under €30”. If fabric composition is stored in the product data, the assistant can combine it with the budget to find suitable matches. The shopper can then refine the request with “Only show black ones”.
From conversation to product page
Relevant recommendations can be displayed with product photos and direct links. The assistant can also draw on the store's current price, stock information and available variants, such as sizes or colours.
Instead of offering vague advice, it helps shoppers discover actual catalogue items. A customer can open the product page in one click and continue through the store's regular checkout process.
Helpful answers about shipping, returns and orders
Customers frequently ask about delivery methods, return conditions and order progress. The assistant can use selected published pages from your website — such as your shipping and returns policies — to answer questions using information your business provides.
For signed-in customers, it can also retrieve the recorded status of their own orders through their customer account. That creates a convenient self-service option for routine enquiries, leaving your team more time to focus on requests that need personal attention.
Made to feel like part of your brand
Your online store has its own identity, and your assistant should reflect it. Its name, welcome message, colours, chat icon, placement, desktop and mobile presentation, available languages and communication guidance can be configured to fit your business.
The text conversation can also stay available while a visitor moves between pages in the same tab, provided the session remains active. Shoppers can explore a suggested product and continue asking questions without losing the thread.

Give your PrestaShop store a voice
Online customer service no longer has to depend entirely on contact forms and static FAQ pages.
