We believe conversations will become the #1 way to shop.

At Gorgias were building the platform that makes this real: a unified AI agent that sells supports and re-engages customers across the entire journey. Conversational Commerce is the future of ecommerce and were leading that shift.

Our mission is to turn every interaction between a brand and its customers into a relationship: personal seamless and intelligent. By combining deep product expertise with the latest in AI were making shopping feel more natural human and connected than ever before.

To win we focus relentlessly on:

• Quality: conversations that feel authentic and on-brand.

• Experience: effortless shopping from chat to checkout.

• Re-engagement: personal 1-1 dialogue instead of noisy marketing.

The opportunity is massive. As AI reshapes how people buy Gorgias is building the foundation for the next decade of ecommerce where every brand has its own intelligent agent and every customer feels understood.

Join us to make Conversational Commerce real.
