How AI is used

Hoop is an AI support agent designed for ecommerce brands operating on Shopify. It works within a company's existing helpdesk to resolve tickets by pulling real-time data from the store and connected apps.

The tool is intended for ecommerce businesses that handle repetitive inquiries. It analyzes ticket history to help learn a brand's specific voice and policies, then drafts replies for the support team to review.

It supports several common ecommerce workflows, such as order status updates and return requests. Buyers can use a sandbox mode to test automation on real tickets before allowing the AI to send responses directly to customers.

Before choosing Hoop, buyers should confirm that their current helpdesk is among the supported integrations and that their primary storefront is on Shopify, as the tool's core functionality relies on that connection.
