# UNQ launches in September: premium sales advisors that genuinely generate business

2026-07-22 · The UNQ team · 7 min

> UNQ opens its doors in September 2026. Embodied sales advisors on your e-commerce website, a seamless handover to your human team, and above all material to sell more: summaries, structured data, personalised follow-ups. Here is what it changes for your brand.

It’s official: **UNQ opens its doors to premium brands in September 2026.**
After several months of pilots with furniture and fashion houses, our
**online sales advice** platform is becoming available — and with it, a
promise that is simple to state but has long been out of e-commerce’s reach:
bringing the craft of the sales advisor back to your website, and **proving its
value in revenue**.

This article sums up what will be available at launch, and above all what it
concretely changes for your brand.

## The problem UNQ solves

In a store, a hesitant customer is never alone: a salesperson comes over, asks
the right question, reassures them. Online, that same customer faces a grid of
products and a filter engine. For a premium brand, this silence has a direct
cost: it turns desire into a simple **price comparison**, and lets your most
qualified visitors leave without ever having asked for anything.

Chatbots, supposed to fill that gap, have mostly taught internet users to expect
nothing from the bubble in the bottom right-hand corner. UNQ tackles the problem
the other way round: not a support robot, but an **embodied sales advisor**,
powered by AI, able to advise as in a showroom — and to hand over to a human
when the sale deserves it.

## The features available at launch

On 1 September, four building blocks are up and running:

1. **Embodied sales advisors.** A face, a first name, a speciality. Camille
   advises your visitors in your brand’s voice, compares your products right
   in the conversation and suggests the right pieces.
2. **Human handover and appointment booking.** When a large basket or a fabric
   that needs touching justifies it, the advisor hands over: an appointment in
   store, a video call or a call-back, with clickable time slots — without
   breaking the conversation.
3. **An extranet to stay in control of your voice.** You edit your *brand
   voice*, manage the directory of your advisors — AI and human — and keep
   control of every word spoken in your name, with our team by your side at
   every step.
4. **Sales material from every conversation.** An actionable summary,
   structured data, an appointment brief ready for your human advisors, and
   everything you need to trigger fully personalised follow-ups (email, SMS,
   WhatsApp). Sales are also attributed to the conversation that produced
   them — but it is the business generated that makes the difference.

## What your brand gains

This is the heart of the matter — and what sets us apart. UNQ does not sell
“conversations”: UNQ **multiplies your sales force**. Here is what it changes,
in very concrete terms.

- **From one-to-many to one-to-one.** Each visitor is understood and advised
  individually, at scale — where your website only offered filters and a
  full-text search.
- **A conversion rate that rises where it counts.** On large baskets, where
  the need for reassurance is strongest, an advisor who is there at the right
  moment makes the difference between a closed tab and an order.
- **Your human advisors’ time, better invested.** They receive appointments
  that are already qualified, with a summary and a prepared cart — they sell
  instead of starting every exchange from scratch.
- **Follow-ups that are anything but generic.** The structured data from each
  conversation unlocks fully personalised follow-ups, by email, SMS or
  WhatsApp — real sales reminders, not mass newsletters.

The figures we will put forward are not invented customer statistics: they
are **product promises, measured on your own site**. It is the only honest way
to talk about performance.

## Available in September 2026 — how to benefit right now

The launch is planned for **September 2026**, with priority given to premium
brands in furniture, home and fashion. The first brands to come on board
receive close support from the founding team.

The best way to prepare for the autumn is to watch Camille advise on **your
own products**. In one hour, without slides, we connect an advisor to your
catalogue and discuss what it could unlock for you.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is UNQ a chatbot?

No. A chatbot answers support questions through decision trees. A UNQ advisor
**sells**: it advises, compares, offers time slots and hands over to a human
when needed. The difference comes down to one word: embodiment.

### How long does it take to set up?

The technical integration of the widget takes a few hours. But installing
sales advisors in a premium brand is a project in its own right: we set them
up, train them on your catalogue and your voice, then follow them over time.
It is hands-on support, not a plugin — and it requires your involvement to
deliver the expected results.

### What does it concretely unlock?

Much more than conversations: a summary and structured data for each exchange,
appointments already prepared for your human advisors, and personalised
follow-ups by email, SMS or WhatsApp. Everything you need to generate business
— and, incidentally, to attribute each sale to the conversation that produced
it.

### Does my brand stay in control of its voice?

Yes, completely. You edit your brand voice in the extranet and keep control of
every word. We train an AI the way you would train a salesperson — we do not
launch a script. It is also a conviction: read our
