Meet Linh, a Vietnamese GenZ female ambitiously making her way up the corporate ladder in banking. Her days are packed with meetings, managing high-stakes financial transactions, and long hours at the office, and she barely has time for indulgences. However, one indulgence she keeps--her particular pre-slumber ritual--time in bed scrolling through her favorite fashion influencers and brands on social media. As she nestles into her cozy mountain of pillows, high above the bustling streets of Hanoi in her high-rise studio apartment, Linh flits from post to post on her Insta feed, a sanctuary of curated perfection amid her hectic life. ![Linh Gazing at Phone](https://precious-paradise-042923f72c.media.strapiapp.com/linh_gazing_78d3e97706.png) Suddenly, her eyes widen as she perks up against the support of pillows; her heart skipping a beat as her gaze fixates on a stunning scene from one of Hanoi's top fashionista influencers, Chau Bui. Chau is dawning a sparkly emerald-green dress at the opening night of Le Hoang's latest film. The post is sponsored but strikes the perfect balance through a subtle comment-based brand engagement. It's a brand she knows, and the dress is exactly what Linh wants for an upcoming industry gala: elegant, trendy, and simply perfect form. Without wasting a moment, Linh takes a screenshot of the post, searches out the brand's Facebook page and swiftly slides into their direct messages. Her fingers fly over the screen as she attaches the screenshot and rapid-fires her query into the messanger app. ![Chat Screenshot](https://precious-paradise-042923f72c.media.strapiapp.com/screenshot_chat_753bd69863.png) <|Hi there! I'm in love with this dress. Do you have it in stock? How much is it, and can you have it delivered by next week? I absolutely want this for an upcoming gala event! <3 The reply comes swiftly, |>Thank you for your interest. Our customer service team will be with you shortly. Linh watches the screen intently, hoping for a quick resolution. She imagines a virtual store associate appearing on the other end, ready to assist her with her late-night shopping spree. Minutes tick by, and the anticipation begins to wane. Her eyes grow heavy, her tiredness taking over, and she finds herself struggling to keep them open. The phone slips from her grasp, as she eventually succumbs to sleep, and another opportunity slips away into the night. #### AI Conversational Commerce: A Parallel Reality But what if Linh's late-night shopping expedition had taken a different turn? Imagine a world where brands don't sleep, where customer service is always on, always personalized, always ready to engage. In this parallel reality, Linh's message is greeted instantly by an AI shopping concierge named "Mai": ![Featuring Mai](https://precious-paradise-042923f72c.media.strapiapp.com/DALL_E_2024_08_05_15_08_34_A_luxurious_setting_in_a_high_end_boutique_featuring_Mai_the_AI_powered_concierge_Mai_is_represented_as_a_sophisticated_and_elegant_virtual_assista_029b35134e.webp) |>Good evening, Linh! That emerald dress is stunning, isn't it? I'm checking our inventory now... Great news! It's in stock. Based on your previous purchases, I recommend a size 4. Would you like to see how it would look on you? Linh's eyes brighten with surprise and delight. She types back eagerly, <|Yes, please! Within the matter of a minute, Mai sends a video of a virtual model of Linh's proportions wearing the dress. Linh's jaw drops... And the AI doesn't stop there: |>This dress pairs beautifully with these golden thin-strapped stilettos and this clutch from our new collection. Would you like to see them as a set? As a valued customer, I can offer you a 10% discount on the complete look. Linh's fingers fly across the screen: <|Show me! As Mai presents the curated ensemble, she also provides options for expedited shipping, ensuring the combo will arrive in time for Linh's gala appearance. |>Here you go, doesn't this just look gorgeous?!! ![Full set outfit](https://precious-paradise-042923f72c.media.strapiapp.com/full_outfit_a3dba5d498.webp)[Buy Set Now!](button) Caught up in the excitement and convenience, Linh makes the purchase then and there. But Mai's job isn't done. The AI takes note of the session with Linh, capturing her preferences and the upcoming event. A couple days before the gala, Linh's phone buzzes with an incoming message notification from Mai: |>Hello Linh! I hope you're excited about the upcoming gala! I noticed that you took delivery yesterday. How's the dress? Mai continues: |>Oh, and while I have your attention, I thought you might love these tips on accessorizing it. In fact, you are in luck, as our new line of statement jewelry just launched. Would you like a sneak peek at pieces that complement your new purchase? This personalized follow-up not only helps Linh prepare for her big night but also opens the door for future purchases, turning a one-time impulse buy into a longstanding relationship. #### The Unseen Benefits: A Brand's Perspective Behind the scenes, the concierge AI is doing more than making sales. It's learning, adapting, and providing invaluable insights to the brand. ![More than a chatbot](https://precious-paradise-042923f72c.media.strapiapp.com/DALL_E_2024_08_05_15_20_35_A_behind_the_scenes_view_of_a_modern_retail_brand_s_office_The_scene_shows_a_team_analyzing_data_on_multiple_screens_including_charts_and_graphs_dep_b252e70c32.webp) When Linh browses and engages with the brand's social content but doesn't buy, Mai doesn't let the opportunity slip away. A day later, Linh receives a gentle nudge: |>Hi Linh! I noticed you were interested in our summer collection yesterday. We've just added some new pieces I think you'll love. Would you like to take a look? This follow-up strategy, perfectly timed and personalized, significantly increases the chances of conversion. Moreover, every interaction with Linh feeds into a sophisticated preference adaptation system. The AI notes that Linh often shops late at night, prefers bold colors, and is drawn to designer collaborations. This is information that can be acted upon to give Linh the white-glove brand experience she deserves as a loyal customer! Imagine now, the next time Linh opens the brand's app, she finds it transformed. The homepage showcasing evening wear in vibrant hues, prominently featuring the latest designer collab, and even has a "Night Owl" section with exclusive midnight deals. #### The Ripple Effect Linh's experience with Mai doesn't end with her purchase. As she shares photos from the gala, tagging the brand on her account, the AI recognizes the dress and sends a peronal note: |>Thanks for the tag! <3 You looked absolutely stunning at the gala! Would you like to share your experience with other customers about this dress? As a thank you, we'll give you early access to our upcoming limited edition collection. OMG, have I just discovered Vietnam's next fashion influencer?! This interaction not only garners authentic user-generated content for the brand but also strengthens Linh's emotional connection to it. She's no longer just a faceless consumer--she's part of an exclusive community. The AI's ability to upsell, follow up, and adapt goes beyond individual sales. It creates a ripple effect, turning satisfied customers into brand ambassadors. Linh's colleagues notice her impeccable style, ask about her outfits, and soon, the brand is welcoming a whole new group of professional women to the fold. #### The Future of Shopping is Here I know what you are thinking: No way these scenes could play out for our brand. And the reality is that while just a couple features portrayed are out of reach, what might blow your mind is that most of this is possible, today! ![The Future of Digital Commerce](https://precious-paradise-042923f72c.media.strapiapp.com/the_future_of_social_commerce_23ecf03669.png) For brands, emerging technologies around conversational AI and controllable image generation represent a quantum leap in what is possible for new customer experiences.
