What Is the Cannabis AI Assistant?

ShelfiQ is our cannabis AI assistant for dispensary and vendor operations. It lives inside every ShelfSpace portal and answers questions about payments, settlements, inventory, credit memos, and more — in plain English. Instead of navigating dashboards and running reports, you ask ShelfiQ and get an instant, accurate answer pulled directly from your live data.

ShelfiQ is included with every ShelfSpace plan. There is nothing to install, configure, or train. It knows your data the moment you start using the platform.

What we handle: ShelfiQ is a fully managed service. We maintain the AI model, the tool integrations, and the security layer. Your data never leaves our platform, and ShelfiQ can only access data that belongs to your account.

What You Can Ask

ShelfiQ understands natural language questions about your operations. Here are some examples:

ShelfiQ does not just look up data — it can take actions on your behalf. It approves credit memos, marks checks as deposited, proposes promotions, submits invoices, and exports data to CSV. See What ShelfiQ Can Do for the full list.

How ShelfiQ Works for Dispensaries

For retailers, ShelfiQ operates as your AI-powered accounts payable department. It processes inbound vendor emails, answers payment inquiries, reconciles statements, and manages contact information — all without you lifting a finger. When a vendor emails asking "where's my check?", ShelfiQ looks up the answer and replies on your behalf.

If a conversation requires human judgment or falls outside its capabilities, ShelfiQ escalates to your team with full context. You stay in control, but the routine work is handled for you.

How ShelfiQ Works for Vendors

Vendors access ShelfiQ through the vendor portal chat widget. It gives them instant self-service access to everything they need: payment lookups, settlement breakdowns, credit memo approvals, data exports, and performance reports. If a vendor works with multiple retailers on ShelfSpace, ShelfiQ can pull data across all of them in one query.

Security and Accuracy

ShelfiQ never fabricates financial data. If a query returns no results, it says so. It cannot access data outside your account, and every action is logged in the audit trail. Banking information changes are restricted to portal-only with MFA confirmation — ShelfiQ cannot bypass security controls.
