The AI Support Agent for Ecommerce

## What is Yuma AI? Yuma is automating customer support by providing an AI Support Agent orchestration platform. Yuma provides autonomous AI agents dedicated to customer service and e-commerce. We integrate directly with help desk software (Zendesk, Kustomer, Gorgias, etc.) and focus on helping large Shopify brands deal with their high volume of support requests. Top merchants using Yuma can automate up to 80% of their support tickets fully autonomously. ## Why do Shopify merchants need Yuma? There are thousands of large Shopify merchants around the world generating $10M+ a year. Most of them have taken over some niches and are great at what they do: selling their products. But they all have one thing in common: they all hate customer support. It's a burden for them and a huge source of cost, as they receive hundreds of requests per day. Some of them have dozens of support agents on staff, usually offshore, and the overall quality is still often pretty poor while staff turnover remains high. Those merchants have been promised automation for years but have always been disappointed by the outcome. As customers, we have all had to live through a terrible support automation experience before, so this is no secret, and everyone knows that the current state of the technology is quite bad. ## Yuma is solving this in a few ways: Yuma isn't just another RAG chatbot. Our platform provides autonomous AI agents dedicated to support and ecommerce. These agents are powered by knowledge, follow processes, and are managed by our in-house AI orchestration technology. This ensures safety, control, and quality at every step. We believe that to truly automate customer support, we must develop a platform that mimics the actions of a human support agent. That's exactly what we've been doing. Currently, our top merchants are automating 60% of their support tickets through Yuma. Yuma can fetch information from external services and take actions in other apps as needed to resolve each ticket. We are laser-focused on building the best AI support agent platform and aim to achieve 80% true automation in the next few months. ## Fun Fact Yuma got started by accident. This is my third YC startup after Socialcam (W12) and Triplebyte (S15). I released Yuma as a prototype for fun in mid-December 2022 and was overwhelmed with demo requests. That's when I knew I was onto something and had to turn this into a real company, once again.

Social AI: Put E-commerce Social Media on Autopilot
See original launch post

👋 We are Yuma, YC W23. Since 2023, we've automated over 5 million customer interactions for leading e-commerce brands with Support AI and Sales AI. Today we're launching our newest product: Social AI

Social AI puts your brand's social media comments on autopilot. It connects to your Facebook, Instagram, and soon TikTok pages, ingests every comment in real time, classifies each one by intent and sentiment, and acts based on automation rules you define. In early testing, Social AI safely automates up to 60% of repetitive social media moderation.

Why this matters: because social comments are one of the last unmanaged channels in e-commerce. They're public, they shape brand perception, and most teams have no system for handling them. And "safely" matters here. One careless AI reply on a post can reach thousands of eyes in minutes.

Why we built it

We kept hearing the same thing from customer support and social teams at high-growth brands: social comments are a blind spot.

  • "A negative comment sits on a post for days and nobody can catch it."
  • "Someone asked a product question under our Instagram ad. By the time we saw it, they'd already bought from a competitor."
  • "A frustrated customer tagged us publicly. It snowballed into 40+ replies before anyone on our team even noticed."
  • "A customer leaves a glowing comment and we don't even say thank you."
  • "We have 1 person manually scrolling through hundreds of comments."

Support tickets have tools. Social comments didn't. We've been running Social AI in private beta for the past year. Today, after a major upgrade, we're opening it up to everyone.

What's different

  • Works across both paid and organic posts. Negative comments on your ads are conversion killers, and Social AI catches them before they cost you.
  • Built-in automation templates for common scenarios (reply, like, hide, flag, or skip), with the ability to create fully custom rules
  • Configurable agent persona: set the tone, verbosity, and brand guidelines so replies sound like your team wrote them
  • Advanced targeting based on the commenter's follower count, so high-profile users get the extra care they deserve
  • Crisis prevention: automatically detect and escalate comments that could spiral into bigger brand issues before they do
  • 24/7 coverage. 50% of comments are posted outside business hours and on weekends. Social AI is always on so your brand is never unprotected.
  • Safety first: every automation rule is scoped by platform, intent, sentiment, and user popularity. You stay in control of what gets automated and what doesn't
  • Real-time dashboard with engagements, automation coverage, sentiment distribution, negative exposure rate, and unanswered rate across all platforms
