Short answer

How do I compare shipping rates with my AI?

Give your AI the destination, weight, and dimensions of your package. It will pull available couriers and their specific rates so you can pick the best option. You'll get a clear breakdown of costs and delivery times.

The results you get

Where your data lands

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of fetching and organizing logistics data.

PRICING

Live rate comparisons

The AI pulls current pricing from multiple carriers. You get a side-by-side view of costs for your specific route.

CARRIERS

Available couriers

Your agent identifies which carriers service your destination. It filters out options that won't work for your package.

DECISION

Human selection

The AI presents the numbers, but you decide which carrier fits your budget or speed needs. It won't book anything without your command.

VALIDATION

Route verification

The AI checks if the requested route is valid for the weight you provided. This catches errors before you try to ship.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a quote.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the Easyship platform to fetch live logistics data.

  1. Identify carriers

    The AI first checks which shipping providers are available for your specific destination and package type.

    list_available_couriers

  2. Fetch pricing

    Once carriers are identified, the AI requests specific price points and delivery windows for your parcel.

    get_shipping_rates

  3. Compare results

    The AI organizes the returned data into a readable format, highlighting the cheapest or fastest options.

    get_shipping_rates

  4. Finalize details

    The AI presents the final list of rates and service levels for your review.

    No. The AI only has access to the tools provided, which are limited to fetching current rates and available couriers.

    Can I ask for rates for any weight?

    Yes, as long as the weight you provide is supported by the carriers returned by the tool.
