General

What is Sherpa?
Sherpa is an AI-powered sales and communications platform built by Icecap AI. It works on your website to actively engage visitors, recommend products, handle objections, and close sales — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How is Sherpa different from a regular chatbot?
Traditional chatbots just answer questions. Sherpa is a full AI sales engine that proactively initiates conversations, recommends products based on browsing behavior, applies promotions, handles negotiations, and adapts its tone to match your brand. It sells, not just supports.
Who is Sherpa built for?
Sherpa is designed for small and medium business owners — especially in e-commerce, lead generation, and the public sector. You don't need any technical expertise. If you can use a web browser, you can set up and manage Sherpa.
Can I try Sherpa before committing?
Yes! Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required.
