Agent GatewayLive from October 9
Opens a store’s Concierge to the AI agents people shop with: an MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude, the open commerce protocol (UCP), and WebMCP on the storefront.
Concierge is the AI shopping agent at the front of your store. It sees, researches, explains and acts for every shopper, on our own search engine and your live catalogue.





































Concierge runs on systems we built for commerce: an agent core that does several things at once, our own search engine on dedicated search servers, a re-ranker trained on shopping relevance, and live checks against your store. Every answer goes through all of them, in seconds.

A store manager’s view of demand: what shoppers asked for, couldn’t find and would pay, in categories and counts, never who asked.
Reasons through the task it’s given, decides what it needs and runs several capabilities at once: four searches, a stock check and a comparison in one answer.
HawkShift’s own commerce search engine, on our own search servers. Word and meaning search together, re-ranked by a model trained on shopping relevance, across every product, variant and size.
A live map of each store: its departments, collections and ranges, so Concierge knows what a store carries and what it doesn’t before it searches.
Shoppers show it a photo or a screenshot and Concierge understands what’s in it. Answers come back as product cards, comparisons and tables.
Price, stock and every size and colour checked against the store at the moment Concierge answers. The AI reasons; the system verifies.
Reviews, expert tests and how-to videos, researched live and summed up with their sources.
Reads the store’s own website and policies, plus what the team writes in, so shipping, returns and “do you…?” questions get the store’s real answer.
Memory that belongs to the shopper: sizes, tastes and budgets, each with its source. Shoppers see, edit or delete it, and can carry it to another store with a yes.
Keeps working after the conversation: watches prices and restocks, reminds, and can add to the cart when the moment comes, under permissions the shopper sets.






Concierge learns your catalogue and your business, helps every shopper at scale, and reveals what customers want, struggle with and can’t find. Like a store manager’s view of demand, in plain English: what people asked for, what sold out, what they would pay and what you don’t carry yet.
Waterproof running shoes were your most asked-for item, and wide sizes were missing in most of those conversations. You have one wide style in stock. Reorder the Ridge Runner in 10W–12W, and consider a rain jacket between $100 and $150: shoppers keep asking for one.
What shoppers asked for, in categories and counts. Never who asked, never a quote.
Reviews, expert tests and how-tos, researched live and summed up with sources. Shoppers buy with confidence, from your store.
Reviewers praise the 7-day battery and accurate swim tracking. The common complaint is a strap that runs small.
Specs turned into plain answers: what matters for this shopper, what doesn’t, and which product fits. Fewer doubts, fewer returns.
Only if you often run in the rain. A waterproof layer keeps water out but runs warmer. For dry roads, the Aero Road breathes better and costs $30 less.

Shoppers send a photo. Concierge finds the closest matches you actually sell.

Tide SportConcierge checks live stock for every size and colour in one go, and adds the exact one the shopper picked. Never the wrong size in the cart.

“Boots, a rain jacket and wool socks for a hiking trip.” Concierge runs the searches side by side and answers with a shelf for each, then remembers all of them for the follow-up.

When a customer is signed in to your store, Concierge recognises them, looks up their own orders and tracking, and answers in the same conversation. No ticket, no wait.
On Shopify, Concierge can cancel an order, change where it ships, start a return or issue a refund, within the limits you set. The shopper confirms every change, and anything outside your rules goes to your team instead. Guests prove an order is theirs with a code sent to its email. Every change stays off until you turn it on.
Concierge reads your policies and your website the moment you connect, and anything your team writes in. Store questions get your store’s answer, in your store’s voice.
Yes, within 30 days, unworn and with tags. Sale items get store credit rather than a refund.
Returns and shipping are answered from your store’s own policies. For a damaged parcel or a refund exception, Concierge drafts the message, the shopper presses Send, and it lands in your inbox, ready to reply to.
People are starting to shop through their own AI agents, and those agents rarely open your storefront. Concierge goes where they are: a connector they can add in ChatGPT or Claude, an open protocol endpoint they can ask, and tools on your storefront they can use. One Concierge for your shoppers, and for the agents shopping for them.
Your store gets its own MCP address. Add it as a connector in ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client, and the agent can search your catalogue, ask Concierge about your products and policies, and open verified product links. Read-only, rate-limited, and never touching a cart or an order.
The same endpoint speaks the Universal Commerce Protocol over REST, with a discovery document, so agents built for UCP can search your catalogue and ask your Concierge without custom work. Answers are Concierge’s checked answers, with links back to your store.
Concierge registers its product-search and store-question tools on your storefront through WebMCP, so an AI agent browsing your site works from your live catalogue instead of guessing from the page, and can open Concierge with the question ready for the shopper.
Live from October 9The connector, the open protocol and WebMCP open with our launch on October 9: on Shopify first, and on every other platform from October 16.
Every ongoing task has three separate permissions. Try them. Concierge can never change a cart without telling the shopper, and every action leaves a receipt.
Watches daily and notifies the shopper when it drops to $84. They add it themselves.
Install it on Shopify in a few clicks. WooCommerce, Magento, Wix and Squarespace follow on October 16. Or bring Concierge into your own storefront, app or kiosk with the API.
