Smarter Customer Engagement with AI Agents
SAP CX AI Toolkit features AI agents—Shopping Agent and Digital Service Agent—each designed to address distinct phases of the customer journey.
Shopping Agent: Your Digital Sales Associate
The Shopping Agent transforms your commerce storefront by engaging customers through natural language conversations. Acting as a knowledgeable digital associate, it understands everything from specific requests—such as “I need a lightweight rain jacket”—to broader needs like “I’m planning a beach vacation.” The agent instantly provides tailored responses, including details about product features, compatibility, and recommendations.
Configuration is flexible, you can integrate the Shopping Agent directly into your online catalog using SAP CX AI Toolkit, and the agent converses in the customer’s language. Purpose-built for both B2B and B2C scenarios (activated via API configuration), the Shopping Agent proactively interacts with customers, refining product suggestions through relevant follow-up questions and guiding them throughout their shopping experience.
Key Capabilities of the Shopping Agent include:
- Helping customers find and compare products using conversational AI.
- Understanding and processing complex customer queries through intuitive dialogue.
- Integrating seamlessly with your e-commerce storefront via a robust, flexible API.
Knowledge Base Integration:
The Shopping Agent can process unstructured data in varied formats as part of its knowledge base. By uploading product manuals, catalogs, or specification documents (PDF, image, text, spreadsheet formats, etc.) to SAP Commerce Cloud, you arm the agent with deep, detailed product knowledge to answer nuanced customer queries.
Digital Service Agent: Intelligent Post-Purchase Support
The Digital Service Agent is designed to deliver top-tier, automated customer support in natural language. Leveraging specific business knowledge sources—configured by your administrator—it answers post-purchase inquiries, resolving common issues and freeing up your service team for escalated cases.
This agent can operate solo or alongside the Shopping Agent, providing unified and continuous support throughout a customer’s lifecycle. For example, after a purchase, a customer with a warranty question interacts with the Digital Service Agent, who pulls relevant information—even translating responses if needed for multilingual scenarios.
Key Capabilities of the Digital Service Agent include:
- Operating 24/7 to provide answers using precise business knowledge sources (manuals, FAQs, service tickets).
- Handling service-related requests such as checking order status, processing returns, or addressing product issues.
- Assisting in both B2B and B2C environments, with API-driven flexibility.
Comparison: Shopping Agent vs. Digital Service Agent
Feature | Shopping Agent (Digital Sales Associate) | Digital Service Agent (Customer Support) |
Primary Goal | Drive sales, product discovery, pre-purchase assistance | Resolve service issues, post-purchase customer support |
Key Functions | Recommends products; provides features/specs/compatibility info | Answers inquiries (warranties, returns, order status); FAQs |
Data Sources | Product catalog & related documents/media | Knowledge base, service tickets, admin-configured sources |
Integration | Direct commerce storefront integration | Standalone or in tandem with Shopping Agent |
Focus | Product- and sales-oriented | Service- and resolution-oriented |
In essence, the Shopping Agent is your digital sales expert, while the Digital Service Agent is your first-responder customer service assistant. Integrated together, they deliver a seamless, unified customer experience across all stages of the journey.

SAP CX AI Toolkit is more than a set of AI tools—it’s an innovation engine for your customer experience strategy.
