SOLUTIONS
Make AI a new direct channel.
Online stores, accommodation and restaurants all have one opportunity in common: more direct customers through AI. Outgleam is building the connections to make AI-native purchases and bookings work with the systems businesses already use.
01 / ONLINE STORES
A new direct-sales route for online stores
Turn product discovery through AI into a path toward purchasing directly from your brand, while keeping your existing online store.
Outgleam aims to connect the product information your business already manages with AI-driven customer journeys, from discovery to direct sales.
THE CHALLENGE
Being discovered is not the same as winning a direct sale
As more customers use AI to compare and choose products, the starting point of shopping is expanding beyond search engines and online stores. Businesses need a way to carry that interest back to their own brand instead of losing the customer journey between discovery and purchase.
THE EXPERIENCE WE ARE BUILDING
Help AI understand your products
Bring product descriptions, variations and the brand's strengths into a clearer, consistent presentation for AI discovery.
Enable a seamless purchase experience through AI
Aim to let customers choose products and complete direct orders in supported AI experiences, while the merchant's existing store handles the transaction.
Create another path to direct sales
Make AI an additional sales channel alongside the store and the marketplaces a business already uses.
KEEP WHAT ALREADY WORKS
Keep the store you already operate
Product information, pricing, inventory and orders remain managed through the online store a business already operates. Outgleam's role is to connect the existing business to a new customer touchpoint, rather than ask it to start over on another platform.
Common questions
Do I need to switch online store platforms?
The aim is to work with the existing store rather than replace it, so businesses can add an AI channel without starting over.
What could an AI direct-sales channel change?
More customers could move from discovering a product in AI to purchasing from the brand itself, creating another route to direct customer relationships.
02 / ACCOMMODATION
From AI discovery to direct bookings
Alongside bookings made through intermediary platforms, create a new direct channel. We aim to let travelers discover a property, check rooms and rates, and complete a booking within the AI experience.
Outgleam aims to connect AI with the property's existing booking system, giving accommodation businesses more opportunities to receive direct bookings without replacing their current operations.
THE CHALLENGE
A new alternative to intermediary-led bookings
Hotels and accommodation businesses often receive reservations through online travel agencies and other booking platforms. As travelers increasingly begin their search with AI, businesses have an opportunity to connect that new point of discovery directly to their own reservations, rather than sending guests through another intermediary.
THE EXPERIENCE WE ARE BUILDING
Help travelers discover your property in AI
Help travelers discover your location, rooms, amenities and distinctive experiences while planning their stay in AI.
A seamless booking experience, within AI
Our goal is for guests to check availability and rates, choose a room and complete a direct reservation within their AI conversation, connected to the property's existing booking system.
Grow direct bookings from AI
Add AI as a direct-booking channel alongside existing OTAs and booking platforms, creating more opportunities for guests to reserve with the property itself.
KEEP WHAT ALREADY WORKS
Keep the booking system you already operate
Room availability, rates and reservation records remain in the property's existing booking system. Outgleam aims to create an AI-native direct-booking experience without asking accommodation businesses to replace their operating systems.
Common questions
Do we need to replace our booking system?
No replacement is planned. The aim is to connect AI directly to existing booking operations, enabling new reservations to be managed in the system the property already uses.
Would AI replace our OTA channels?
No. The objective is to add AI as another route for direct reservations, alongside the intermediary platforms the business already uses.
03 / RESTAURANTS & SERVICES
Connect AI discovery to direct reservations
Make it easier for people who discover your restaurant or service through AI to reach your official reservation channel.
Bring the details that make a venue worth choosing closer to its own reservation experience, while keeping existing booking systems in place.
THE CHALLENGE
From being recommended by AI to welcoming a guest
People increasingly explore restaurants and local services by asking AI what suits their plans. Even when a business is recommended, customers may have to look elsewhere to find up-to-date details and a way to book. The opportunity is to make that path shorter and clearer.
THE EXPERIENCE WE ARE BUILDING
Let AI convey what makes your venue special
Help potential customers discover the menu, atmosphere, location and services that match their needs.
Move from AI discovery to a seamless reservation
We aim for customers to check available tables or service slots and complete a direct reservation in a supported AI experience, connected to the venue's existing booking system.
Make AI another customer-acquisition channel
Create another opportunity to welcome guests directly, alongside existing search, social and reservation channels.
KEEP WHAT ALREADY WORKS
Your booking operations stay in place
The business continues managing its time slots, party-size rules and confirmations in the reservation system it already uses. Outgleam aims to add a new route for guests to discover and reach that business directly.
Common questions
Would we need to change our reservation system?
The aim is to keep the business's current booking operations and add a more direct route from AI discovery to the official reservation channel.
What is the benefit of AI as a customer channel?
It could help people discover a business that matches their needs and move toward a reservation with that business, rather than stopping at a recommendation.
These use cases describe capabilities in development. AI-native checkout, booking confirmation and live integrations are not yet generally available.
From AI discovery to direct transactions.
Outgleam brings together AI Visibility and AI Commerce connections to help businesses create their next direct-sales channel.
