Yuma AI

Automates e-commerce customer support tickets

Overview

Yuma AI builds an AI-powered platform that automates e-commerce customer support. It orchestrates autonomous AI agents that integrate with help desk tools like Gorgias, Zendesk, Front, and Re:amaze to fully resolve tickets, including actions like editing orders, issuing refunds, and managing subscriptions. The system understands customer intent, pulls information from external services, and executes tasks, enabling merchants to automate a large share of their support (60–80% for some clients). The platform differentiates itself by performing real tasks within external systems and focusing on high-volume Shopify and BigCommerce merchants, with a performance-based pricing model that charges only for tickets fully resolved by automation, aiming to reduce response times, increase automation rates, and scale support without adding headcount.

Yuma launches 2.0 with single AI handbook for omnichannel customer service

Yuma has launched Yuma 2.0, an AI customer service platform that operates from a single document called the Handbook. The system manages all customer interactions across channels including email, chat, SMS, social media, and phone calls. The platform allows brands to describe their customer service procedures in plain language. Yuma then generates brand voice pages and playbooks, which are tested before going live. Each playbook includes example situations with expected outcomes that are replayed as simulated conversations before changes are published. New features include outbound outreach capabilities, voice support, and gradual rollout options. The platform integrates with helpdesk systems like Gorgias, Zendesk, and Salesforce, and can take actions in Shopify and other systems. Founded in 2022 by Guillaume Luccisano, Yuma currently supports over 100 brands. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and charges only for tickets it fully resolves.
