AI Automation
for E-commerce,
New York.
Inventory, pricing, fulfilment, and customer service automation. Built for the compliance requirements of New York.
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 New York 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.

NYDFS supervises AI as a cybersecurity matter under Part 500, not as a separate AI regime.
New York's financial regulator has not written a standalone AI rulebook. It folds AI into 23 NYCRR Part 500, the cybersecurity regulation covered entities already run. In practice that means an AI deployment does not get its own governance track; it goes into the existing Part 500 risk assessment, and a risk assessment that does not address AI-related threats has to be revised.
The guidance has arrived as a sequence of industry letters rather than a single rule: an October 2024 memorandum on the risks posed by artificial intelligence, an October 2025 letter on managing third-party service providers including AI and fintech vendors, and a May 2026 letter on the heightened risks of frontier AI models. The final provisions of the 2023 amendment to Part 500 took effect on 1 November 2025.
One control deserves specific mention because it changes build decisions. NYDFS advises covered entities to use authentication factors that withstand AI-generated deepfakes, which means moving away from SMS, voice and video verification toward digital certificates and physical security keys. If an automation touches identity verification, that is a design constraint rather than a policy footnote.
The full New York briefing sets out the rest of the local picture.
