“The gorgias AI agent is amazing and has really relieved pressure from our customer services department.”
“The AI agent handles a solid chunk of routine inquiries on its own, which has freed up our team to focus on more complex issues.”
“Over the past couple of months we've been building out the AI agent with our CSM, Emely Tapia, and it now resolves a real share of inbound tickets before anyone on our team touches them.”
“The AI Agent handles customer questions quickly and accurately, especially order tracking and shipping updates.”
“What's most exciting lately are their new AI features, especially the AI Shopping Assistant. It's made the case, with our own numbers, that customer support can be a revenue driver”
“Skills is a great new feature, although there is still AI slip where it fails to follow precise instructions and wording”
Complaints
“Skills is a great new feature, although there is still AI slip where it fails to follow precise instructions and wording”
“At 1.50 USD per AI conversation I cannot justify switching it on - if customers actually use it, that is a four-figure bill at the end of the month.”
“I have ads in 3 places to pay extra for an AI agent that hallucinates more than I did in college”
“We wanted to install it and got stuck training the AI (which is 2025 type of workflow prompt training, a bit behind what AI can do in 2026)”
“Definitely takes some configuring after onboarding process to refine knowledge base. The team does have to monitor closely during this period but overall we've really enjoyed onboarding with Gorgias AI.”
“While the AI is not always fully accurate yet due to occasional hallucinations, we’re hopeful ongoing improvements will help it provide accurate and helpful support the vast majority of the time.”
What it does
AI Agent helps shoppers browse, buy and get support in the brand's voice1. As a support agent it handles post-purchase questions such as returns, order tracking, cancellations and missing items; as a shopping assistant it helps pre-purchase shoppers find products and buy1. It can take actions in connected tools, such as canceling an order, processing a return or updating a shipping address; actions are opt-in1.

Handing a conversation to a person
As Gorgias documents it. Reviewers' experience of handoffs is in the shares above.
AI Agent hands a ticket to the team on built-in signals that cannot be turned off, on handover topics you write in plain language, and when it is not confident in an answer4. On chat it asks the shopper to confirm before handing over by default; on email and SMS you choose whether it tells the customer4. Handed-over tickets appear in the handover section of the AI Agent ticket view and carry the ai_handover tag for routing rules4.
Controls
Safety and review features, as Gorgias documents them.
- Handover topics written in plain language4
- "Prevent AI Agent from answering" rule for tickets it must never touch; these are tagged ai_ignore4
- Custom handover instructions for online, offline and error cases on chat4
- Tone of voice settings2
- Playground for sandboxed test conversations by channel and customer type; test conversations never reach shoppers5
- Drafts can be tested before they go live, and test replies show the reasoning and knowledge used5
- Actions are off by default in tests; Gorgias warns that actions used in a test can change real customer and order data5
Setup
Gorgias's setup guide lists these steps: add knowledge, create skills, optionally set up actions, set tone of voice and handover instructions, test in the Playground, then enable each channel under AI Agent > Deploy2. It needs at least one knowledge source, an active AI Agent subscription and a connected Shopify store2. The guide gives no total setup time; it says settings take a few minutes2.

Billing
Per resolutionAI Agent is included on every help desk plan and billed per automated interaction: $0.90 on annual contracts and $1.00 on monthly contracts, with $1.50 for interactions above the plan's allowance6. Help desk plans include 30 to 530 automated interactions per month (from Starter at $10 a month to Advanced at $750 a month billed annually)6.
What counts: An automated interaction is a customer request fully resolved without a human agent, by AI Agent or by Flows, Quick Responses or Order Management. Each one also counts as a help desk ticket. If an agent replies within 72 hours of an AI Agent resolution, it is billed only as a help desk ticket6.
The bill grows as the AI succeeds. Read how the vendor defines “resolved”, and whether a customer who comes back later still counts.
