Session: From Product Page to Purchase: A Governed Operating Model for AI-Assisted Conversational Commerce
Digital commerce organizations often introduce chat as a customer engagement channel, but many struggle to operationalize it as a scalable, governed conversion system. Traffic remains low, conversations are generic, product intent is lost across handoffs, and human experts become a constrained resource. This session presents a practical operating model for transforming product-page browsing into intent-qualified, context-preserving conversations that can progress toward resolution and purchase without restarting the journey.
The session outlines a reusable reference model built on four connected capabilities: (1) contextual intent capture on product pages, (2) context-preserving routing into structured conversation flows, (3) policy- and confidence-based escalation to human product experts when required, and (4) agent copilot augmentation to improve response quality, speed, and consistency. It also examines how to enable transaction-adjacent commerce actions inside chat — including guided deep linking, cart-building support, and governed offer/coupon workflows — without disrupting the purchase journey or weakening operational control.
Finally, the session addresses measurement and governance: defining high-intent conversations, proving incrementality through phased cohorts, setting escalation thresholds, and avoiding common pitfalls such as weak attribution models, low-signal chat traffic, and inconsistent agent handling. Attendees will leave with a reusable framework for operationalizing conversational commerce as an enterprise sales operating model rather than a standalone chatbot deployment.
