The product details your shoppers keep asking about

  • Product attributes whose stored value is a list, a number, or a yes/no now reach the assistant — previously only plain-text values did, so an attribute you had already configured could sit unused while shoppers asked about it
  • The dashboard now shows you the exact line the assistant will read for an attribute, sampled from your own catalogue, so you can tell at a glance whether a field carries what you expect it to
  • On one live catalogue this surfaced several configured attributes that were reaching the assistant as nothing at all

Gorgias as your support desk

  • Gorgias joins Maestra, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Zendesk and your own webhook as somewhere the assistant can hand a shopper off — pick it in Lead Capture, connect it, and test the connection before you turn it on
  • Tickets arrive already routed: your own ticket tags and custom fields, plus the page the shopper was on, so your Views and Rules can filter on context instead of parsing the message body

The widget now works for every shopper

  • A shopper using only a keyboard can complete every path — open the chat, ask a question, finish the quiz, choose a variant, add to cart — without focus being thrown back to the top of your storefront
  • Screen readers now announce replies as they arrive, and controls that were previously unlabeled icons say what they do
  • The closed chat panel no longer leaves invisible stops in the tab order, and the banner format no longer covers your footer or your theme's own add-to-cart bar
  • A reply cut short by a dropped connection now says so and offers a retry, instead of presenting half an answer as the finished one
  • A failed send keeps the shopper's typed question and gives them a way to resend it
  • Automatic for every store — nothing to turn on

Your store's name, everywhere in the widget

  • The display name you set now appears on the banner format's collapsed bar, next to your logo — it already showed inside the open chat panel
  • Image descriptions across all four widget formats use your store's name instead of a generic "Logo" or "Banner" — better for shoppers using a screen reader, and for search engines reading the page

Review stars on product cards

  • Product cards in chat can now carry a star rating and review count, between the product title and the price
  • Ratings come from either the standard Shopify review fields or from Yotpo, and are read when your catalogue syncs — so a review provider's speed never adds to a shopper's wait
  • Off by default, and not yet self-serve — ask us to switch it on for your store. Yotpo ratings require the Shopify Admin sync connection

Say something better than “Thinking…”

  • Replace the default waiting message with your own rotating phrases, edited directly in Configure
  • The timing now ramps — a short first beat, then it rotates — so a shopper waiting on a longer answer sees movement instead of one frozen word

Turn your store's search into a conversation

  • Turn on an opt-in setting and your storefront's own search — the search bar or icon shoppers already reach for — opens the assistant instead of a static results page
  • Meets shoppers at the moment they're searching with intent: a typed query becomes a guided conversation that recommends products and answers questions, riding the high-intent search traffic you already have
  • Opt-in and fully reversible — leave it off and your native store search works exactly as before

A more responsive, easier-to-follow chat

  • Shoppers can start a brand-new conversation anytime with a new control — it clears the current thread for a clean question without reloading the page or navigating away
  • When a reply takes a moment, the assistant shows a "Thinking…" note so shoppers know it's working while the answer comes together
  • On mobile, the chat now holds a shopper's place while a reply comes in instead of yanking to the bottom, and a jump-to-latest control snaps them to the newest message whenever they want it
  • Automatic for every store — nothing to turn on

A smoother chat experience on mobile

  • Opening the chat on a phone now uses one unified, full-height panel across every widget format — a clean bottom sheet you can swipe down to dismiss with a grab handle
  • The panel sizes itself to the visible screen, so the text box stays above the keyboard and the page behind no longer scrolls underneath while a shopper is chatting
  • Quick questions, the product grid, and the input are all tuned for one-handed use
  • Automatic for every store — nothing to turn on

More control over opening the widget from your own code

  • The widget's JavaScript open command now accepts options — open straight into a specific guided quiz, pre-fill the first question, or hand the assistant context about the page the shopper is on
  • Handy for headless and single-page storefronts wiring the widget to their own buttons, search bars, and calls to action
  • Fully backwards compatible: existing open calls with no options behave exactly as before

Embed the chat widget right inside your page

  • The widget can now live inline in any section of your storefront — a product-recommendation grid or list that sits in your page layout, not just a floating bubble in the corner
  • Shoppers browse the inline products and, the moment they ask a question, the same spot takes over into a full conversation — discovery and chat in one place
  • Drop it in from the Shopify theme editor with the new "Inline Chat Widget" block — position it like any other section, no code required
  • The inline grid adapts its column count to whatever container you place it in, and the floating widget can still run alongside it on the same page

Tune which product details drive search

  • A new dashboard control lets you tell product search which details matter most — boost matches on the attributes that define your catalog (material, fit, use case, compatibility) and down-weight the rest
  • Replaces one-size-fits-all matching with per-field rules you control, so results line up with how your shoppers actually search
  • Works from the product data you already sync to Milly — nothing new to maintain

Answers that stay grounded in your real catalog

  • The assistant now sticks strictly to your real products and knowledge base — it won't invent prices, sales, specs, colors, variants, stock status, links, or store locations, and it applies the right facts to the right product instead of mixing up sibling models
  • It searches your catalog and knowledge base before ever saying "we don't carry that," so shoppers stop hearing a flat no for things you actually sell
  • On high-stakes questions — installation, fitment and compatibility, e-bike class, child and passenger safety — it answers only from what's in your catalog and knowledge base and otherwise points the shopper to you, rather than guessing
  • It won't promise something it can't do (collecting an email for a restock you don't run, sending a shopper to an outside retailer for a part you stock) and never hands out a placeholder or guessed link
  • When a product and knowledge search both come back empty, the widget degrades politely instead of surfacing a raw error

See the sales your shopping quiz drives

  • New card on the Impact dashboard reports orders, revenue, and conversion rate from shoppers who completed a guided shopping quiz before buying — closing the loop on quiz ROI
  • Sits alongside your existing attribution so you can compare quiz-assisted sales against the rest of the funnel
  • Stays hidden until a store actually has quiz-driven orders, so the dashboard isn't cluttered before there's data to show

Point wholesale and retail shoppers at different collections

  • A conditional rule can now scope product search to a specific Shopify collection based on the logged-in customer's tags — automatically steering wholesale shoppers to a wholesale collection while retail shoppers see your standard set
  • Uses the customer tags you already manage in Shopify; no new data to maintain
  • Per-rule collection picker in the dashboard (on plans with curated collections)

Date-aware store instructions + honest support handoffs

  • Time-sensitive instructions now work: tell the assistant to say something only until a certain date and it will honor the cutoff — it knows today's date in Pacific Time, so "restocks June 1" stops being said after June 1
  • Support handoffs are more reliable: the assistant only ever sends a contact email the shopper actually typed, and if a handoff doesn't go through it says so honestly and gives your direct contact instead of claiming success

  • Read-only by design: Claude can read your chat data and report on it, but can't change your store

  • File a bug straight from Claude and it lands in a new Bug Reports view in your dashboard

  • Complete GDPR data-request and data-deletion handling, with encrypted database connections end to end
  • Hardened the public widget against abuse and runaway requests, and made analytics reporting resilient to bad data — no change for normal shoppers

Turn the widget into a guided shopping quiz

  • Quiz answers carry into the same chat session, so the assistant picks up where the quiz left off with full context
  • Every quiz run shows up in Replay alongside chat transcripts
  • New quiz-performance view tracks completions, the engagement funnel, and the products quizzes recommend most

Chat that knows your wholesale customers

  • The widget reads the logged-in shopper's Shopify customer tags and tailors answers for B2B vs retail — pricing, minimums, and policies for wholesale buyers, while regular shoppers keep the standard experience
  • Zero setup beyond the customer tags you already use in Shopify
  • Cached answers stay segment-safe — a wholesale buyer never receives a retail-cached reply, and vice versa

First-class support for headless and single-page storefronts

  • New mount and refresh controls keep the widget in sync as shoppers navigate a React, Hydrogen, or WordPress storefront client-side — no full page reload required
  • Removed widgets clean themselves up automatically, and the inline product grid adapts to the container it's placed in
  • Quiz and chat now share one session, so tracking and context stay unified across the whole visit
  • Richer product-card grid in the chat-bubble widget, with mid-sentence links rendering inline instead of as full-width buttons

Know exactly what you'll pay + a safer, richer catalog

  • The billing dashboard now shows your real projected overage charges, and plan limits read as a clear "X of Y used" so there are no surprises
  • Conversation overages meter automatically onto your normal Shopify bill — billed as you go, never a separate invoice to chase
  • Product catalog sync is safer and more complete: the extra fields the assistant learns about your products survive every hourly sync, custom-field limits are higher, and a truncated product feed can no longer wipe your catalog

Search tunes itself to your catalog on install

  • On install, Milly samples your products and auto-selects the metafields most useful for search (material, dimensions, compatibility, ratings) — so recommendations are sharp out of the box, no setup required. The dashboard flags which fields were picked, and you can adjust them anytime in Configure → Product Data.
  • Bumped the custom-metafield limits: Starter now includes 10 (was 5), Essentials 20 (was 10), Core stays at 50.

Auto-apply discount at the cart

  • New opt-in toggle on Configure → Lead Capture pushes the generated coupon code straight into the shopper's cart — no copy-paste required at checkout
  • On native Shopify storefronts the widget silently fetches /discount/CODE?redirect=/cart to set the discount cookie; the shopper stays on the current page
  • On headless storefronts (cart_mode: callback) the widget dispatches a `milly:applyDiscount` window event for your bridge to consume — sibling pattern to the existing `milly:addToCart` callback
  • Chat reply reads "I've applied a discount to your cart — it'll appear at checkout (code: XYZ)" with the code as a fallback so shoppers can verify or apply manually if needed
  • Default off so existing "use code X at checkout" flows are unchanged for stores that haven't opted in (Essentials+ on the Latest release track)

Smarter empty-state widget responses

  • Catalogs with everything currently out of stock return a clear "none in stock at the moment" message — no LLM ambiguity
  • Password-protected development stores and storefronts mid-sync get a dev-store-aware message instead of a hallucinated fallback

Zero-touch install: billing activation on first OAuth

  • Public-distro installs auto-trigger the Core-tier subscription (with 7-day trial) on OAuth callback — merchants land on Shopify’s approval page immediately, not a billing tab they have to hunt for
  • On approval, the widget activates via the existing subscription webhook with no merchant action
  • Custom-distribution clients (UAG-style out-of-band billing) get a 14-day grace window on first install for hand-off
