Konvo
Also known as: Konvo AI, Konvo GmbH, Hoola
eCommerce-native AI customer platform from a German company. Merchants build an agent on an indexed knowledge hub and prebuilt order and subscription skills, test it against a defined suite before launch, and deploy it across chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram and voice or inside an existing helpdesk.
Konvo is an AI customer platform built specifically for eCommerce, from Konvo GmbH in Germany. Its argument is that a helpdesk adds AI to help human agents clear tickets, whereas Konvo lets a merchant build an agent that does the work itself. The agent acts, reasons and follows complex processes, canceling and refunding orders, editing shipping addresses, managing subscription deliveries, tracking parcels and recommending products, while holding the brand's tone of voice. Where no integration exists it will call a courier or email a supplier to close the loop.
An agent is assembled from five published components, a Knowledge hub that crawls a storefront and FAQ pages and ingests uploaded documents and past conversations into a searchable index, a Persona covering personality and tone, Skills that are prebuilt actions a merchant switches on, Processes for multi-step handling, and Recommendations learned from the catalog.
Before launch a merchant defines typical conversations and runs a full test suite automatically, giving feedback in the chat, then deploys across live chat, email, WhatsApp Business, Instagram, Facebook Messenger and voice, either through Konvo's own multichannel inbox or by having Konvo operate as another agent inside an existing Gorgias, Zendesk, Front or Freshdesk instance so existing reports and rules stay in place. The agent escalates to a person when it needs help, keeping full context across channels, and a dashboard reports performance and flags missing knowledge.
Konvo states customers automate 70 to 80 percent of support tickets and are typically live in under a week with a Conversational AI Expert assigned, and reports more than 2.9 million AI conversations across 200-plus brands, largely European DTC names including Sepiia, Gimaguas, PlatanoMelón and Café San Jorge.

Integrations
Connects a merchant's shop system, fulfillment and support stack: Shopify and WooCommerce for commerce, Mintsoft, Amphora and Sendcloud for fulfillment and shipping, Gorgias, Zendesk, Front and Freshdesk as helpdesks Konvo can operate inside, and Klaviyo and Salesforce for marketing and CRM. The agent takes authenticated action instead of only reading data, with a skill catalog covering get order status, cancel order, edit order shipping address, refund order, manage subscription deliveries and edit subscription shipping address, and it reaches unintegrated parties by calling a courier or emailing a provider. No public API or SDK is published for the platform itself.
In practice
Your shoppers write in to cancel orders, change shipping addresses or ask for refunds. Konvo's agent reads your Shopify or WooCommerce store and makes the change itself through its prebuilt order skills, handing the conversation to your team when it needs help.
Your support team already works in Gorgias, Zendesk, Front or Freshdesk. Konvo operates as another agent inside that helpdesk, so your reports, metrics and rules stay in place while it answers across chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram and voice.
You want to see how the agent handles real questions before it goes live. Konvo lets you define typical conversations, run the full test suite automatically and give feedback in the chat before you launch.

The agent writes into the merchant's commerce stack through a named skill catalog. Order management covers get order status, cancel order, edit order shipping address and refund order. Manage subscription deliveries and edit subscription shipping address sit under subscriptions, and close conversation, escalate to an agent and start a side conversation are general actions. Connected systems include Shopify and WooCommerce for shop platforms, Mintsoft, Amphora and Sendcloud for fulfillment and logistics, Gorgias, Zendesk, Front and Freshdesk for helpdesks, and Klaviyo and Salesforce for marketing and CRM. Konvo sums this up as connecting a merchant's 3PL, shop system and CRM. Beyond structured connectors, the agent takes on tedious actions like calling a courier or emailing a provider, so it reaches parties with no integration at all. Konvo publishes no connector directory or count beyond that named set. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform section and FAQread 2026-09-05 |

| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
Processes is one of five build components, alongside Knowledge, Persona, Skills and Recommendations. Konvo's agents act, reason and behave like a human, following complex processes and executing actions such as order changes, carrier communication and internal processes while holding the brand's tone. A cancellation, refund or update is resolved by reading the shop system and writing back to it. A courier incident is handled by calling a courier or emailing a provider, so the run continues through a third party before it can close. A subscription is managed by adjusting deliveries. Skills compose into those processes and include branching outcomes, since escalate to an agent, close conversation and start a side conversation are terminal or forking steps the agent chooses between. The agent does the work instead of assisting with it, unlike helpdesks that add AI as a feature. Konvo names no runtime, step model, retry or failure handling.

| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Full |
|
The agent is grounded on an indexed corpus with its own management surface, the Knowledge hub. It is one of five build components alongside Persona, Skills, Processes and Recommendations. One example hub holds 49 sources with a search box across them. They include a crawled storefront at 23 pages, a crawled FAQ site at 5 pages, an uploaded document of order management protocols at 355 KB and an entry listing the countries the merchant delivers to. An Indexing status shows against a source while it is processed. The agent learns like a human teammate from a connected website, docs, past conversations and processes. It also reads real time customer, order and catalog data from connected systems as each conversation runs. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform section, Knowledge hubread 2026-09-05 |

The agent handles every conversation, and the team steps in only when it matters most. It resolves a conversation end to end or escalates when needed, alerting staff when it needs more information and handing conversations to the human team when it needs help. In one example a customer asks whether a product is safe with a nut allergy. The agent replies that it is looping in a teammate, and the inbox flags that the agent needs help, with full context kept across every channel and agent. Escalate to an agent is one of the configurable general skills alongside close conversation and start a side conversation, so an operator decides when the agent hands off. Konvo names no queue before sending, draft review mode, confidence threshold or sign off for each action. Once a skill is enabled, the agent cancels orders, issues refunds and edits shipping addresses on its own. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform and FAQ sectionsread 2026-09-05 |

| Security, Identity & Governance | Not documented |
|
There is no trust center or security page, and Konvo names no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or equivalent attestation. As a German company, Konvo publishes an imprint, a privacy policy, terms and conditions and a data processing addendum, all linked from every page. The addendum sets out GDPR obligations. Conversations are assigned to agents and teams and claimed by them, but Konvo names no roles, permissions, SSO or SAML. Sourcekonvoai.com footer legal tier and site navigationread 2026-09-05 |

| Observability & Auditability | Partial |
|
Analyze is a named stage of the lifecycle, with a Dashboard behind it. The Dashboard uncovers opportunities, flags missing information so the agent keeps improving, and reports agent performance and customer behavior through AI driven insights. Konvo reports 2.9 million AI conversations exchanged and a 70 percent average resolution rate. It names no way to inspect an individual run, see which Knowledge hub source grounded a reply or which skill fired, check what was written back to Shopify or the 3PL, or learn why the agent chose a refund over an exchange. Konvo also names no trace of each action, decision log or audit surface. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform sectionread 2026-09-05 |

| Memory & State Persistence | Partial |
|
Full context is kept across every channel and agent, so a thread that starts on Instagram and continues on WhatsApp does not restart. Recommendations draw on context, intent and past behavior, which suggests something about a shopper is retained beyond the current exchange. Konvo does not say what the agent retains about an individual customer between separate contacts. It gives no scope per shopper, order or channel, no lifetime, and no way for an operator to inspect or clear it. Past conversations are ingested into the Knowledge hub as part of its corpus, and Konvo describes no separate memory layer. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform sectionread 2026-09-05 |

| Deployment & Data Residency | Not documented |
|
The service is hosted and reached through a web app. It is distributed heavily as a Shopify app and embedded into a merchant's existing helpdesk. Konvo names no region, region selector, VPC, single tenant arrangement, on premises build or deployment in the customer's own tenant. No hosting location is published. Konvo GmbH is a German company with a European legal tier, but that says nothing about where data sits. A data processing addendum in the footer governs how personal data is handled.

| Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs | Full |
|
Prebuilt skills come grouped by domain, and a merchant switches them on instead of building them. Order management covers get order status, cancel order, edit order shipping address and refund order. Subscription management covers manage subscription deliveries and edit subscription shipping address. General handling covers close conversation, escalate to an agent and start a side conversation. Because merchants adopt these as delivered, Konvo promises most customers are live in under a week. Recommendations arrives the same way, with Konvo learning the catalog and guiding customers to the right products without the merchant building a recommender. These are skills of one agent, not separate agents. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform sectionread 2026-09-05 |

| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |

Work arrives over six channels. They are live chat, email, WhatsApp Business, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger and voice. The same intelligence, personality and resolution capability runs at every touchpoint, not a thinner bot on the smaller channels. Deployment runs two ways, through Konvo's own multichannel inbox or inside an existing helpdesk. There Konvo operates as another agent in Gorgias, Zendesk, Front or Freshdesk, so work also reaches it through the queue the merchant already runs. The agent can also start conversations itself. Broadcasts and Flows are AI powered campaigns and automations that win back past buyers through automated marketing, with unlimited no code flow automations. Konvo names no event catalog, schedule or webhook trigger. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform and FAQ sections, Konvo Shopify App Store listingread 2026-09-05 |

| Model Flexibility & Routing | Not documented |
|
The five build components are Knowledge, Persona, Skills, Processes and Recommendations, and none of them sets the model. Persona covers personality and tone of voice, not the model underneath. Konvo names no provider or version, no way to bring your own key, no model assignment per skill and no routing across providers. The model looks like an implementation detail Konvo holds, since the product is sold on being onboarded in minutes with a Conversational AI Expert doing the tuning.

| APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility | Not documented |
|
Konvo publishes no API, SDK, developer documentation or MCP endpoint for its own platform, and the site has no developer section. Every interface runs inward, with Konvo connecting to a merchant's shop system, WMS, 3PL, CRM and helpdesk. Konvo also operates as another agent inside Gorgias, Zendesk, Front or Freshdesk while their reports, metrics and rules stay in place, so it integrates into another platform instead of exposing its own. Drag and drop flow building and platform connections do not extend Konvo itself. Sourcekonvoai.com homepage and FAQread 2026-09-05 |

| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Full |
|
The platform runs in four stages, Build, Evaluate, Launch and Analyze, and Test makes up the whole Evaluate stage. A merchant simulates customer conversations to see how the agent handles real scenarios. They define typical conversations and run the full test suite automatically before deploying, then give feedback in the chat so the agent improves. The suite tests the merchant's own agent configuration before it reaches shoppers. A Conversational AI Expert is assigned during onboarding to optimize results over time. Konvo names no pass rate, score or threshold for a suite run, and no holdout or controlled experiment after deployment. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform sectionread 2026-09-05 |

| Browser & Computer Use | Not documented |
|
The agent reaches external systems through credentialed integrations with shop platforms, 3PLs, CRMs and helpdesks. Its skills are structured actions shaped like API calls, such as cancel order, refund order and edit shipping address, not interface operations. Konvo's own surfaces are a multichannel inbox and an embed inside the merchant's helpdesk. The agent can also call a courier or email a provider to reach a third party with no integration. It does not operate browsers, desktops or remote computers. Sourcekonvoai.com AI platform sectionread 2026-09-05 |

Pricing
Not published on Konvo's site. Its Shopify App Store listing quotes from $155 per month.
tiered subscription + per AI session
What is public
Konvo's own pricing page shows no figures. Its Shopify App Store listing quotes around $155 a month, or about $1,428 a year at roughly 23% off, scaling with contacts over 250, plus AI sessions at about $0.35 each; these are Shopify channel terms.
Variable cost rationale
On the marketplace terms, cost scales on two axes above the platform fee: contacts beyond the included 250, and AI sessions charged per session with none bundled at the entry tier, so a merchant automating at volume pays materially more than the headline. Those terms are unverified against Konvo's own site, and no direct-sales pricing is published at all, so the slope cannot be confirmed.
Sales call required
Yes, required for paid access
Free / trial
No trial is published on Konvo's own site; entry is a booked demo.
Key ambiguities
Konvo's own pricing page carries no figures, tiers or units, so the direct-sold commercial model is not public. The Shopify App Store listing is the only place rates appear, quoting $155 a month or $1,428 a year for 250 contacts with zero AI sessions included, contact-based scaling above 250, and about $0.35 per AI session. Those are channel terms rather than Konvo's direct price, and nothing shows whether direct pricing matches. What counts as an AI session is not defined, so the session rate cannot be tied to a resolved ticket, and whether the multichannel inbox and the embed-into-an-existing-helpdesk deployments are priced differently is unstated.
