Product-page assistant vs image-reading concierge
Dori (dori.tech) calls itself an AI shopping assistant for Shopify. The homepage describes two surfaces: Product Pal, which answers buying questions on the product page, and Sidekick, a chat that searches the catalog in natural language, compares products, and builds routines. It says shoppers can add to cart from the conversation, and that setup is a one-click Shopify install with no code.
Vorena is also a Shopify shopping assistant, with a different emphasis. It reads catalog photos when the store syncs, to build attributes the tags often miss, then holds one conversation that ends in a live product card.
Dori's homepage lists a free plan: $0 for 200 conversations a month and up to 500 products, including Product Pal, Sidekick, and 60+ languages. Limits for the plans you can buy are on the pricing page. Those are different offers. Check both sites before you decide on volume.
