Short answer

How can I check my Clover inventory using AI?

Your AI uses the Clover POS connection to pull live data from your product list and categories. You can ask it about specific item counts or how much stock you have in a certain category. This gives you a direct line to your current stock levels through chat.

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on managing your shop.

STOCK

Live stock checks

The AI looks up specific items in your Clover catalog. You'll get the exact quantity currently on hand.

GROUPS

Category oversight

Your agent can see how your products are organized. It can summarize stock across entire product groups.
