Check sales without the back office
Text Carly for today's sales, this week's total, or how you're tracking against last week and she pulls the figures from Lightspeed — no stepping away from the floor.
Stay ahead of inventory
Ask Carly which items are low or the count on a specific SKU and she pulls it from your Lightspeed inventory, so you reorder before you sell out.
Track purchase orders
Ask Carly whether a purchase order was received or what's still outstanding with a supplier and she pulls the status from Lightspeed and sends it to your phone.
Look up customers and purchase history
Need a customer's contact info or what they bought last time? Ask Carly and she pulls the customer record and purchase history from Lightspeed on demand.
Why retailers and restaurants are using AI with Lightspeed
Lightspeed is a retail and restaurant POS built for shops and venues that run on inventory, sales, and purchase orders across one or many locations. It tracks every item, sale, and supplier order — but the answers you want sit behind a login. How are sales tracking versus last week? Which SKUs are low? Did that purchase order get received? Each answer means stepping away from the floor, opening the back office, and drilling into a report.
AI tools for Lightspeed should get you the number without the login. When checking sales or which products need reordering takes as long as sending a text, you stay with your customers instead of behind a screen. When it means opening the Lightspeed back office and navigating menus, you either break your flow or you skip the check entirely.
How Carly works as your AI Lightspeed assistant
Carly connects to your Lightspeed account through the API. Once connected, you get sales figures, inventory counts, and purchase order status over email or text — like texting a manager who's watching the store for you.
Want to see how sales are tracking? Text Carly and she pulls today's or this week's totals from Lightspeed. Wondering what's low before you place an order with a supplier? Ask Carly for items under a stock threshold and she pulls them from your inventory. Need to check whether a purchase order arrived? Ask Carly and she looks up its status.
Because Carly works from outside Lightspeed, she can bring your store data into your email and other tools. She can text you a sales recap at close, or pull a customer's purchase history alongside a record in another system — all without you opening the POS.
Who uses Carly with Lightspeed
Retail shop owners checking sales and stock between helping customers on the floor. Restaurant and bar operators who want a read on service without leaving the room. Multi-location owners who need each store's numbers without logging into every back office. Buyers and managers keeping an eye on inventory and purchase orders so nothing runs out and no delivery slips through. If your business runs on Lightspeed but every answer is one login away, Carly brings it to your phone.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
