“The first ChatGPT-inflected startup that caught our eye was Yuma, whose customer demographic is primarily — but not exclusively — Shopify merchants. Yuma's platform provides ChatGPT-like AI systems that integrate with help desk software, suggesting drafts of replies to customer tickets that are both relevant and customized to the support agents.”
“Yuma.ai, specializing in AI-driven customer support automation for e-commerce, raised $5 million to expand its advanced AI agents, aiming to boost operational efficiency for merchants and help them achieve automation rates above 60%.”
“Yuma AI's top merchants are automating 40 to 60 percent of customer support tickets, improving service for customers and making the value-added work of human support agents more interesting.”

While some people lament having to deal with a bot instead of a person, Luccisano says the tech is getting better, and people are mostly concerned about whether their problem is getting solved, not whether the email came from a real person or generative AI.”
