AI Intent Detection

Machine learning models analyze visitor behavior patterns in real-time to predict purchase intent and identify at-risk sessions before they leave your store.

Key Capabilities

Under the hood

How intent detection works

From the first scroll to a confident prediction — here is how every session is read in real time.

1

Observe

Behavioral signals — scroll, dwell, navigation, hesitation — are captured for every visitor, only after consent.

2

Learn

Models learn the patterns that precede a purchase versus an abandonment, tuned to your store specifically.

3

Score

Each live session gets a purchase-intent score that updates continuously as the visit unfolds.

4

Act

High-value sessions trending toward abandonment are flagged instantly, so an intervention can fire in time.

The signals we analyze

Dozens of behavioral cues combine into one continuously updated intent score — all consent-aware.

Scroll depth

How far and how actively a visitor explores each page.

Dwell time

Time spent per page and the rhythm of attention across the visit.

Navigation path

The sequence of pages and whether it trends toward checkout.

Hesitation & idle

Idle gaps and back-and-forth that often precede an exit.

Cart engagement

Add-to-cart, removals, and cart value movement within the session.

New vs returning

Whether this is a first visit or a returning, higher-intent shopper.
