How This System Works

Architecture

Three specialized agents work together to automate plant care expertise delivery: support bot handles customer questions, seasonal agent drives repeat engagement, and content assistant maintains marketing pipeline. All agents share the centralized plant knowledge base in Notion.

Data Flow

Customer purchase data from Shopify combines with plant care expertise in Notion to power personalized interactions. The support bot provides instant help while logging interactions in Klaviyo for follow-up. The seasonal agent uses this same data to send timely care tips that drive natural repurchases. Content flows from trending topics through Claude to Notion for review, then to Shopify and social channels.
