Yuma AI, the AI agent platform for ecommerce customer support, has announced the launch of Ask Yuma, a conversational interface that allows merchants to manage their entire support automation through natural language. Ask Yuma gives CX teams the ability to build, investigate, and optimize their automation in real time by simply asking the AI platform, without the need for deep platform expertise.

Why it matters

The launch of Ask Yuma represents a significant advancement in ecommerce customer support automation. By allowing merchants to manage their support operations through natural language, the platform removes the need for CX teams to become platform experts, making it easier for them to get the most out of their automation. This could lead to improved efficiency, better customer experiences, and increased cost savings for ecommerce brands.

The details

Ask Yuma is built into every page of the Yuma dashboard and has full access to a merchant's tickets, automations, knowledge base, performance metrics, integrations, and brand voice. CX teams can now build, investigate, and optimize their automation in real time by simply asking Yuma. The platform can read SOPs, generate flowcharts, and produce ready-to-deploy automations in a single conversation. It can also analyze escalated tickets, surface automation opportunities, and recommend fixes for incorrectly handled tickets. Additionally, Ask Yuma can generate reports on product defects and track automation rates and CSAT trends.

  • Yuma AI started building on OpenAI's Davinci model in late 2022, generating draft replies for merchants.
  • By 2023, Yuma AI had autonomous AI agents handling tickets in production.
  • After 3 years and millions of customer conversations, Yuma AI realized the automation itself wasn't the bottleneck anymore, and configuring it was.
  • Ask Yuma was launched in April 2026.
