AI Automation
for E-commerce,
Austin.
Inventory, pricing, fulfilment, and customer service automation. Built for the compliance requirements of Austin.
The workflows that move the needle.
Inventory forecasting and replenishment automation
Dynamic pricing and margin optimisation
Customer service triage and returns processing
Built to spec.
Every automation we ship in Austin is engineered around the compliance frameworks that govern e-commerce data in United States.
CCPA/CPRA (California), FTC Act Section 5, PCI DSS for payment data, and COPPA for platforms with under-13 users.
We run a data protection impact assessment on every project, document the legal basis for all automated processing, and build human-in-the-loop controls wherever a decision carries legal or material effect. You receive full audit logs and runbook documentation at handover.
An automated message that omits the cancellation notice turns a 14 day liability into a 12 month one, on every order it sends.
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, a UK consumer buying at distance can cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving a reason, and the refund is due within 14 days. That much is widely known. The part that matters for automation is the penalty for not saying so: if the trader does not tell the customer about the right to cancel, the cancellation window extends to 12 months.
That is a template problem with a compounding cost. An order confirmation flow that drops the cancellation notice does not produce one non-compliant order, it produces every order until somebody notices. This is why we treat the statutory notices in transactional messaging as test cases rather than copy, and assert on their presence in the same way we assert on the total.
The same logic runs through the rest of the stack. Automated pricing, automated returns refusal and automated eligibility checks all sit close to consumer protection rules, and a system that quietly declines a statutory right at scale is a larger exposure than the manual process it replaced.
What it has to connect to
- Storefront and order management
- Where the statutory notices are actually rendered
- Transactional messaging
- Confirmation, dispatch and returns flows carrying required information
- Payments and refunds
- The 14 day refund clock runs here
- Inventory and fulfilment
- Usually the source of the exceptions the automation has to handle
What we will not automate here
- Refusing a statutory right
- An automated decline of a cancellation or refund entitlement is an exposure, not an efficiency.
- Pricing that could mislead
- Automated pricing sits close to consumer protection and, in the US, FTC Act section 5.
- Unreviewed policy changes at scale
- A template edit reaches every customer before anyone reviews it.

Texas has a general-purpose AI statute in force. TRAIGA took effect on 1 January 2026.
The Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act, HB 149, was signed on 22 June 2025 and took effect on 1 January 2026. Unlike California's approach, which regulates automated decisions through privacy law, TRAIGA regulates AI directly and by prohibited use: behavioural manipulation, unlawful discrimination, deepfake creation, and infringement of constitutional rights.
The penalty structure is what changes build behaviour. Curable violations carry 10,000 to 12,000 dollars if not cured, uncurable violations carry 80,000 to 200,000 dollars, and continuing violations accrue 2,000 to 40,000 dollars per day. A system that keeps running while a dispute is unresolved is a system accruing daily liability, which makes a documented kill switch and a clear owner part of the deliverable rather than an operational nicety.
Because TRAIGA turns on use rather than on sector, it reaches automations that would sit outside a privacy statute entirely. An internal workflow that never touches a consumer can still fall within it if the use is prohibited. We map intended use against the prohibited categories before build starts on Texas projects.
The full Austin briefing sets out the rest of the local picture.
