Challenge

Tira operates in a competitive market and acknowledged the importance of differentiating itself by offering tailored beauty advice that facilitates smarter buying decisions. As a beauty advisor, it had to cater to various customer requirements - such as addressing acne-prone skin, makeup preferences, allergies, and more.

 

  • When customers wanted guidance, Tira connected them to an agent, who would then go through filters and collaborate with Tira’s research team to create an elaborate chart, which was time-consuming and less efficient.

  • Beauty advice can be a sensitive matter, so recommendations had to be highly accurate and personalized.

  • Expert’s beauty tips had to be complemented with relevant product suggestions based on individual needs and preferences.

Solution

By joining hands with Haptik, Tira leveraged Gen AI to streamline the shopping experience. Powered by large language models (LLMs), the Gen AI sales assistant engages beauty enthusiasts in contextual and human-like conversations leading to accurate and effective purchase support at scale.

 

  • Named ‘Tira Virtual BFF’, the LLM-powered Sales Assistant guides buyers with dynamic and highly contextual responses to a plethora of queries during pre-sales.

  • With a query resolution rate of 97%, the Sales Assistant efficiently addresses user queries around makeup, skin, hair, fragrance, shaving, and multiple other beauty and personal care needs.

  • More significantly, it has allowed Tira to reduce dependency on human agents, offer 24/7 support, and provide tailored guidance to foster customer trust and loyalty.
