When new parents look for a trusted formula brand, they naturally have questions. They want the best for their baby, but advice from friends, diet gurus, video trends, and old wives’ tales can pile on unnecessary stress. Who steps in to help?Online

If they search online, the little search bar on a baby formula website often comes up short. FAQs and blog posts help, but they rarely answer exactly what parents are wondering.

A while ago, you might have added a friendly chatbot to the corner of your site. It promised more support, but it could only handle a handful of prewritten topics. And writing long, important questions on a phone? Not ideal.

Times have changed. Today’s AI Agents deliver real value. They chat naturally in any language, whether typed or spoken, and pull precise answers directly from your trusted content. No more endless scripts or rigid decision trees. All they need are your reliable sources: known web links, internal documents, and curated Q&A that can grow over time. The AI handles the rest, crafting thoughtful answers on the spot. It feels fluid, articulate, and is genuinely helpful.

So why haven’t most baby and kids ecommerce sites adopted them yet? Now is the ideal moment to upgrade.

In-Store, the Gap is Even Bigger

In a perfect world, shoppers could ask an expert on the store floor. In reality, staff are busy or the store simply isn’t specialized enough. So what’s happening instead? A new generation of parents, especially Gen Z, turn to AI tools like OpenAI or Gemini right there in the aisle. They take a photo of a product, ask their questions out loud, and get quick answers.

Here is the twist: the AI usually knows your brand, your ingredients, and your story. It can even explain which product fits a specific need, or which bottle and nipple pair best with the formula.

But that convenience comes with serious drawbacks. Generic AI does not always recognize your packaging, even from your camera. It gives vague responses, sometimes redirecting shoppers to your website, sometimes to someone else’s. It relies on whatever content it finds online. For certain topics, there is a lot of noise, and you might be surprised by the sources it uses. And because free AI access has limits, many shoppers hit a paywall after a few questions, which is far from ideal. Generic AI also lacks context like stock availability, promotions, or your customer preferences.

Meanwhile, you have no visibility. You don’t know who is asking what, or whether the AI gave a correct answer. That is lost insight, valuable data you could use to improve your product pages, training, and marketing.

There Is a Smarter Way: A Private AI Agent

Ask Mona’s Private AI Agent is built to deliver secure, brand-controlled answers. It works online through a simple URL, or in-store with a QR code printed on packaging or shelf tags.

Here is what that unlocks:

• The link takes customers directly to the right product and its dedicated AI model, ensuring accurate answers every time.
• The service is fully included, with no paywalls and no usage limits.
• The AI only uses your approved content: brand voice, ingredients, tutorials, verified answers.
• You receive detailed reports showing what people ask, store by store if needed, and how the agent responds.
• You can enrich content over time to make your AI smarter and sharper.

Who Benefits?

Your customers get 24/7 help, in their own language, from any smartphone. No app, no account, no cost.

Your employees, especially new hires, get a simple self-service tool that helps them learn faster and respond confidently.

Your marketing teams finally get real-time, uncensored insights into what shoppers actually care about.

Is It Urgent?

Let’s be honest, your current website search probably relies on basic keyword matching. An AI Agent will boost that experience immediately.

More importantly, customers are already asking generic AI tools about your products and receiving answers that don’t always reflect your brand. Some retailers are even building their own AI systems to pull your traffic toward their platform. Once those habits form, they’re hard to reverse.

The sooner you offer your own Private AI Agent, the sooner you regain control of your brand’s conversation.
