Catalogs too big for filters
Thousands of SKUs across brands and categories. A request like 'a gift under 200' becomes a catalog query instead of a walk down the category tree.
NOLA AI FOR VTEX
NATIVE VTEX CONNECTOR · CATALOG, SHIPPING QUOTES AND ORDER STATUS IN THE CHAT
Nola AI is an AI sales chatbot for VTEX that reads a request in plain language and only recommends what is in your catalog and in stock. The native connector also quotes shipping and checks order status without pulling the shopper out of the conversation.
HOW IT CONNECTS
The native connector reads the catalog with price, stock, variants and images. The first sync runs right after install and takes seconds to a few minutes, depending on catalog size.
Shipping, exchange and return policies become the knowledge base. Pick the guided flow, built in the flowchart editor with templates by vertical, or Assisted Buying, the sales-consultant mode.
One line on your VTEX storefront and the assistant appears. Handoffs from the chat to checkout carry UTM tags, so the order shows up with a source in your reports.
PERMISSIONS
Permission is read-only. Nola queries products, inventory, shipping and order status to answer the shopper. Nothing inside the platform is created or changed by it.
Products, variants, prices, images and stock levels. Recommendations come from there: what does not exist or is out of stock never shows up in the chat.
The connector quotes shipping for the postcode typed in the chat and looks up an order status with whatever VTEX returns. No guessed delivery dates.
It never creates or edits a product, price, stock level or order. It does not process payment: the cart hands off to your own VTEX checkout.
IN PRACTICE
Thousands of SKUs across brands and categories. A request like 'a gift under 200' becomes a catalog query instead of a walk down the category tree.
The shopper gives a postcode and gets the quote in the conversation, instead of building a cart just to find out what delivery costs.
Where is my order is the question that eats most of a support team's day. Nola checks the status in VTEX and answers on the spot, with the real data.
Black Friday and seasonal spikes without hiring at the same rate: a live queue in the dashboard, business hours, and a WhatsApp handoff when a case needs a person.
BEFORE YOU CONNECT
No. The catalog integration is a native connector, and publishing the assistant is one line of script on the storefront. There is no new component to build and no template to rewrite.
They come from VTEX itself, using the postcode the shopper types in the chat. When no quote comes back for that address, Nola says it does not have the answer rather than estimating one.
Yes. The handoff to checkout carries UTM tags, so the order arrives with an identified source in your own reports. Checkout itself stays on VTEX.
No. Permission covers reading products and inventory, plus shipping quotes and order status lookups. It never creates or edits anything, and it never handles payment.
Seconds to a few minutes, depending on catalog size. It runs right after install, and the assistant answers from the synced catalog from then on.
