Why we gate every AI reply behind one-tap approval

AI can draft a customer support reply in under two seconds. The hard part isn't speed — it's trust. The moment an AI sends a reply on its own, a single hallucinated refund policy or a made-up tracking number goes straight to your customer with your brand on it.

The approval gate

Inbox drafts every reply, but nothing sends until you approve it. That one rule removes the scariest failure mode of AI support: a confident, wrong answer reaching a real person. You stay the final check, and the AI does the typing.

Why it still saves you hours

Approving a good draft takes a tap. Editing a near-perfect one takes seconds. You skip the blank-page work — pulling up the order, remembering your policy, finding the tracking link — because the draft already did it, grounded in your real Shopify data.
