Vertical Playbooks

Give every conversation the expertise your category demands.

Different products require different buying conversations. Chatsi Vertical Playbooks bring industry-specific questions, decision criteria, and recommendation approaches into guidance shaped around your brand and catalog.

Industry playbooks adapt shopping questions for automotive, fashion, and gifting. Illustrative example.

Automotive: the shopper says “I need new brake pads.” Chatsi asks “Which vehicle are they for?” The shopper answers 2019, Honda, Civic. Result: Pads that fit a 2019 Civic.

Apparel: the shopper says “Looking for a linen shirt.” Chatsi asks “Do you like a relaxed or a tailored fit?” The shopper answers Relaxed. Result: Relaxed linen shirts.

Gifting: the shopper says “I need a gift idea.” Chatsi asks “Who is it for, and what’s the occasion?” The shopper answers My sister, Birthday. Result: Birthday gifts for her.

How it works

  1. Ask questions that matter in your category

    Use the details that shape a decision: vehicle fitment, clothing preferences, equipment experience, or gifting occasion. Help shoppers clarify the needs that change the recommendation.

  2. Explain the right tradeoffs

    Structure comparisons around how products are used. Connect technical or emotional considerations with the shopper’s goals, using merchant-approved knowledge.

  3. Improve approaches through learning

    Use privacy-conscious learning from interactions and outcomes to refine category guidance. Preserve each merchant’s brand, product facts, and commercial priorities as playbooks develop.

Example: one question, three playbooks

Shopper:Which one should I get?

  • Automotive

    Chatsi asksWhich vehicle is it for? Year, make, and model.

  • Gifting

    Chatsi asksWho is it for, and what’s the occasion?

  • Equipment

    Chatsi asksWhat will you use it for, and how experienced are you?
