There are two main types of chatbots available for Shopify store owners today: rule-based chatbots and AI chatbots. Rule-based chatbots follow rigid, pre-scripted decision trees — they work well for simple FAQs but break down the moment a customer asks something unexpected. Modern AI chatbots use a knowledge graph built from your store's actual content and retrieve answers via RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), keeping every response grounded, accurate, and always up to date.
