Overview
Humankind didn't start as a platform, but as an idea at a DTC skincare business that leveraged a bespoke, human-focused Conversational Commerce platform to provide personalized, 1:1 experiences. Shoppers connected with experts -- estheticians, in this case -- and received personalized skincare regimens. The results? Thousands of five-star reviews, happy customers, and the best feedback our e-commerce veterans and founders have ever seen in over 20 years in the industry. ?
