AI voice agents are recovering 35% of abandoned Shopify carts, and most operators haven't noticed yet.

In this solo episode, Steve Hutt breaks down:

  • Why AI voice beats email recovery flows by 3x on abandoned carts (and the stage where it actually pays off)
  • How one Shopify brand cut $18K/month in support costs while CSAT jumped 22%
  • The storefront voice concierge small brands can use to sound like the founder at scale

Whether you're doing $100K years or $10M+ on Shopify Plus, this episode gives you a 90-day test plan to pick your lane before voice becomes table stakes by 2028.
