The AI Support Agent for Ecommerce

## What is Yuma AI? Yuma is automating customer support by providing an AI Support Agent orchestration platform. Yuma provides autonomous AI agents dedicated to customer service and e-commerce. We integrate directly with help desk software (Zendesk, Kustomer, Gorgias, etc.) and focus on helping large Shopify brands deal with their high volume of support requests. Top merchants using Yuma can automate up to 80% of their support tickets fully autonomously. ## Why do Shopify merchants need Yuma? There are thousands of large Shopify merchants around the world generating $10M+ a year. Most of them have taken over some niches and are great at what they do: selling their products. But they all have one thing in common: they all hate customer support. It's a burden for them and a huge source of cost, as they receive hundreds of requests per day. Some of them have dozens of support agents on staff, usually offshore, and the overall quality is still often pretty poor while staff turnover remains high. Those merchants have been promised automation for years but have always been disappointed by the outcome. As customers, we have all had to live through a terrible support automation experience before, so this is no secret, and everyone knows that the current state of the technology is quite bad. ## Yuma is solving this in a few ways: Yuma isn't just another RAG chatbot. Our platform provides autonomous AI agents dedicated to support and ecommerce. These agents are powered by knowledge, follow processes, and are managed by our in-house AI orchestration technology. This ensures safety, control, and quality at every step. We believe that to truly automate customer support, we must develop a platform that mimics the actions of a human support agent. That's exactly what we've been doing. Currently, our top merchants are automating 60% of their support tickets through Yuma. Yuma can fetch information from external services and take actions in other apps as needed to resolve each ticket. We are laser-focused on building the best AI support agent platform and aim to achieve 80% true automation in the next few months. ## Fun Fact Yuma got started by accident. This is my third YC startup after Socialcam (W12) and Triplebyte (S15). I released Yuma as a prototype for fun in mid-December 2022 and was overwhelmed with demo requests. That's when I knew I was onto something and had to turn this into a real company, once again.

Ask Yuma: The AI that runs your entire support operation
See original launch post

👋 We are Yuma (YC W23), the AI agent layer for commerce CX. We started building on OpenAI's Davinci model in late 2022 and have processed millions of customer conversations for 100+ commerce brands since.

Today we are launching Ask Yuma. Think Claude Code, but for your entire CX operation. A conversational AI built into every page of the Yuma dashboard.

Ask Yuma knows your entire support operation: tickets, automations, knowledge base, metrics, integrations, brand voice. You tell it what you want in plain English. It does the work.

Why we built it

Since 2023, Yuma has automated millions of customer interactions for commerce brands. Our best merchants automate 93% of their customer conversations. The automation works.

But configuring it was still painful. Merchants had SOPs in Google Docs they couldn't turn into live automations without our help. They wanted to investigate why a ticket was handled wrong but had to file a request and wait. They knew there were more tickets to automate but finding them meant hours of manual digging.

The dependency on our team was the bottleneck. So we built Ask Yuma: one conversational interface that puts all of that in the merchant's hands, with our team still there when they need us.

What it does

Build automations from documents: Upload any SOP or process doc. Ask Yuma reads it, asks clarifying questions, generates a visual flowchart, and produces a complete automation ready to go live. What used to take days takes 1 conversation.

Find automation opportunities: Ask Yuma analyzes your escalated tickets, ranks recommendations by impact, and links to real examples so you can verify before acting.

Diagnose issues: Ask "why was this ticket handled wrong?" Ask Yuma traces the root cause through your configuration and tells you what to change.

Generate reports: Ask for a report of every product defect reported this week. Ask Yuma searches thousands of tickets, pulls the images, and generates a PDF you can share with your exec team or manufacturer.

Monitor performance: Track automation rate, CSAT trends, unusual spikes, and compare time periods in plain English. No dashboards to build.

It doesn't stop there. Ask Yuma finds what's broken, proposes a plan, gets your approval, implements the fix, tests it in a sandbox, and verifies it worked.

In just 1 week of internal release, Ask Yuma has seen 60% adoption among existing merchants.
