What AI chatbot for E-commerce actually requires in 2026
2026 stack: Next.js + Vercel AI SDK or LangChain on the server, OpenAI + Claude with multi-LLM routing, pgvector or Pinecone for product embeddings, and Shopify/BigCommerce/WooCommerce APIs for inventory + order context. Voice via ElevenLabs or Deepgram for premium tiers. Senior AI ecom engineers handle prompt evaluation against real product catalogs, edge cases (out-of-stock, pricing tiers, geographic restrictions), and conversation routing to human agents. Generic "ChatGPT plugin" builders skip these and produce bots that hallucinate inventory.
