Episode Details

Stop dreaming about a 24/7 digital employee and start building one. 🤖 In the past, an AI agent that could handle customer support, collect leads, and track Shopify orders required a $10,000 developer. In 2026, you can deploy a fully autonomous "Store Assistant" in under 15 minutes for less than the cost of a coffee.

We’re breaking down the exact Chatling workflow to move from a blank slate to a live deployment on your website and Instagram DMs—no coding required.

We’ll talk about:

• Chatbot vs. Agent: Why a standard chatbot is just a "vending machine" and how a true AI Agent processes context, pulls from your knowledge base, and takes real-world action.
• The "Tripod" of Intelligence: Setting up the Brain (Gemini 2.5/GPT-5.1), the Knowledge Base (PDFs/URLs), and the Actions (Tools) that make your agent functional.
• The Shopify Power Move: A step-by-step guide to connecting your agent to your Shopify API so it can fetch order status and email tracking numbers autonomously.
• The 7-Part Persona Framework: How to write a system prompt that ensures your agent sounds human, follows constraints, and knows exactly when to escalate to you.
• Omnichannel Deployment: Putting your agent live on your website and Instagram DMs simultaneously to capture leads while you sleep.
