Illustrative example · the store is invented
Example Outdoor Store · about 600 orders a month · chat widget on every page
The chatbot is polite and fast. It answers from general text, not from the store: stock, orders and codes are guesses.
- We asked Do you have the Trail 2 jacket in size M?It answered “Yes, it is available!”Wrong Size M is sold out on the product page.
- We asked Where is my order 48213?It answered “For order questions, please email us.”Dead end No tracking link, no order lookup offered.
- We asked Do you have a discount code?It answered “Use WELCOME15 for 15% off!”Made up The checkout rejects WELCOME15.
- We asked How long do I have to return it?It answered “30 days from delivery.”Right Matches the returns page.
- We asked Can I talk to a person?It answered “Our team replies within 24 hours.”Right Honest about the wait.
5 more questions in the full result, each with a screenshot and the time it was asked.
What we would fix first
- Remove WELCOME15 from what the chatbot knows, or make the code real. In your chatbot settings
- Give order questions a way forward: a tracking link or an order lookup. Needs store data
- Let size questions check real stock before the chatbot says yes. Needs store data
