Lumi turns website conversations into structured leads your team can follow up

What kind of AI tool actually helps turn visitors into leads?

Lumi is designed around that handoff. Lumi, the AI Concierge for your website provides text chat through a mini-card launcher, floating interface or embedded experience. It answers from information the business has made available for public responses rather than presenting itself as an unrestricted general-purpose assistant. Rich cards can surface relevant products or offerings using references from approved knowledge or a connected catalog; public cards use business-owned website, uploaded or SHOPLINE images rather than AI-generated images.

This places Lumi within the wider discipline of lead capture and inquiry management, not merely website chat. Its value comes from the sequence: help the visitor understand the business, offer an optional way to identify themselves, record the surrounding conversation and make the inquiry visible to staff. That is the practical standard to use when evaluating any AI tool for lead generation.

How Lumi captures a website inquiry

Lumi’s lead form is optional for each business. When enabled, it can collect the visitor’s name, email, company, phone number and the challenge they want help with. The form writes the inquiry to the Lumi workspace and links it to the visitor and conversation. This lets staff review what the person asked before beginning outreach rather than receiving an isolated email address with no explanation.

That final step should remain explicit. Lumi records and organizes the inquiry, but people conduct the follow-up. Teams dealing with a queue of new submissions should establish a consistent process for daily manual triage of website inquiries, including who reviews the Prospects list, what deserves immediate attention and what should be marked as test, spam, internal or irrelevant.

If a visitor later corrects a phone number or clarifies the request, accuracy before outreach becomes more important than speed. A practical review process for corrected website inquiry details before follow-up helps staff use the latest information and preserve the context attached to the conversation.

What staff receive with each lead

A Lumi lead contains more than the submitted form fields. The record carries AI-derived fields for the visitor’s goal, timeframe, intent, whether a meeting was requested, a recommended solution and an AI summary. It also includes the transcript, language and source. For a non-English inquiry, the record can include translated context. These fields help staff understand the request before replying, while the original transcript remains available for direct review.

The Prospects list presents leads and meeting chips, while conversation controls allow staff to classify unwanted or non-customer activity. Businesses with appointment-oriented inquiries still need to distinguish interest from completion. A booking-start event records that a visitor began the path toward booking; it is not evidence of a completed or confirmed appointment. For service teams, the next operational question is often who needs follow-up on appointment inquiries.

How first-party journey intelligence improves prioritization

Lumi tracks first-party website and concierge activity for sites where it is installed. Its journey data includes anonymous visitors and sessions, page path, UTM information, referrer origin and language. Customer Intelligence also receives conversations, messages, leads, voice use, AI analysis, page views, attribution and booking-start events. That context can help a team assess an inquiry alongside the path that preceded it.

The tracking scope is intentionally specific. It does not collect device, browser, geography or page-title fields. Customer Intelligence is currently based on Lumi interactions and first-party website journeys; it is not unified with Google Analytics, CRM systems or orders. SHOPLINE can supply commerce and cart events plus checkout references, but not completed orders. Teams should therefore analyze anonymous inquiries without inflating follow-up leads and keep anonymous interest distinct from people who actually submitted contact details.

The same discipline applies to financial reporting. Lumi defines metrics such as opportunities, customers and revenue, but they remain unavailable without a CRM or pipeline integration. If commercial attribution is the decision at hand, use a process for comparing inquiry sources with verified revenue attribution rather than treating website engagement, booking starts or checkout references as revenue.

Where connected commerce helps—and where it stops

For a business with a connected SHOPLINE store, Lumi can use synchronized catalog information in conversations. Its commerce tools support product search, variant selection and item display. On the SHOPLINE storefront, the shopper’s browser can create or modify the real storefront cart, and every change is confirmed by reading the cart back. Item quantities range from one to 20 per action.

Lumi does not store the cart or calculate discounts, taxes, totals or shipping. Values shown for discounts come directly from SHOPLINE’s cart response. Checkout is redirected through a SHOPLINE cart URL rather than embedded in Lumi, and SHOPLINE performs payment and order creation. Cart actions work only through the SHOPLINE storefront App Embed, not on a non-SHOPLINE website. Businesses comparing channels should separate retail inquiry capture from purchase processing because answering a question or adding an item to a cart is not the same as completing an order.

Connected commerce is most useful when product discovery is part of the visitor’s decision. Lumi can help shoppers search the synchronized catalog, choose a variant and manage the storefront cart, but there is no dedicated product-comparison tool and Lumi is not notified when SHOPLINE creates an order. For repair-oriented businesses, where the handoff may matter more than a catalog transaction, the more relevant comparison is messaging handoffs versus website capture.

For businesses in Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego, CA

In these busy Southern California markets, service businesses often compete for visitors who are comparing several options online before making contact. An AI concierge can help by answering practical questions from approved business information, collecting contact details and preserving the conversation for staff review. The first step is to identify the questions that most often signal genuine interest—such as availability, service fit, timing or pricing—and make sure the website provides clear, current answers. Then establish who will review new inquiries and how quickly that person should respond.

What your team must still manage

Lumi does not currently implement a CRM provider. HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho are not connected, and there is no CRM contact, activity or notes synchronization, bidirectional sync, CRM webhook, generic outbound lead webhook or lead export. Leads reach staff through email, optional SMS and the Lumi workspace. Staff must manage follow-up, status tracking and CRM entry themselves; Lumi does not include a lead-status pipeline or assignment workflow.

That makes operating discipline essential. Assign responsibility for checking new inquiries, define how high-intent leads are recognized, and decide where staff will record follow-up status. Businesses that receive inquiries outside working hours can use the captured context to sequence outreach later; a useful operating model is prioritizing overnight inquiries before morning outreach.

Lumi supports subscriptions and trials, with plans using monthly AI credits and optional credit top-ups. A tested top-up is 100 credits for $12. Before choosing a plan or relying on a booking connection, confirm the current flow and the connection available for the specific business. Calendar support should be checked per business rather than assumed universally.
