Chloe W.
D2C Brand Founder
2.9
AIBMM ScoreChloe founded a direct-to-consumer brand with 6 team members. Weekend support tickets were piling up, product descriptions were inconsistent, and stockouts were causing lost sales.
Starting Point: The Struggles
Support tickets piling up on weekends
Product descriptions inconsistent across SKUs
Stock-outs causing lost sales 3-4x per month
One person handling all customer inquiries
The 90-Day Journey
Lean Team Discovery
Chloe completed Discovery solo, then validated answers with her team. Score of 2.9 - using AI for content but no automation.
E-Commerce Workflows
Mapped customer support, product listing, inventory management, and marketing workflows. Support had highest urgency.
Focused Stage Plan
With only 6 people, set conservative WIP limit of 3. Chose: AI Support Agent, Predictive Inventory, and Product Copy Generation.
Support Agent Build
Built AI support agent trained on FAQ, return policy, and order status. Handles 70% of tickets automatically.
Shopify Integration Issue
Support app conflicted with existing Shopify app. Logged friction, explored alternatives. Switched to different provider.
Inventory Intelligence
Connected sales data to inventory system. AI predicts stockouts 2 weeks in advance and triggers reorder alerts.
Product Copy at Scale
Built product description generator using brand voice guide. Now generates consistent copy for new SKUs in minutes.
First Quarter Review
All 3 Lifts graduated. Weekend support backlog eliminated. Captured brand voice prompts as patterns for future use.
