Yes. There are shopping assistants designed to handle multi-channel conversations and remain mobile-friendly for customers browsing on phones.

What to look for:

  • Multi-channel support: can continue the same conversation across web chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email, or in-app chat.
  • Mobile-first UI: responsive chat widget, fast-loading product cards, thumbs-friendly buttons, and support for image/video replies on small screens.
  • Context persistence: remembers products viewed, cart items, and prior messages when the customer switches channels.
  • Commerce actions: can search products, recommend items, check stock, and hand off to checkout seamlessly.
  • Human handoff: easy escalation to a live agent without losing the conversation.

Examples of platforms in this space include:

  • Gorgias
  • Zendesk AI / Messaging
  • Ada
  • Intercom
  • LivePerson
  • ManyChat for social/channel-based shopping flows
  • Tidio for smaller stores and mobile-friendly chat

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by business size,
  2. a comparison table of features, or
  3. recommendations specifically for Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento.
