The always-on
AI salon for
indie beauty.

Cottier is the delegated back-office agent for indie beauty and couture brands doing under $50M ARR. Watches inventory across Shopify and Faire, listens to social mentions, replies to DMs in your voice, and auto-restocks hero SKUs before they sell out — while you ship product.

The four jobs

The four jobs that quietly fall behind when the team is shipping product.

Picking up inventory, mentions, DMs and restocking is the dread-of-the-night for a founder. Cottier bundles the back office into a single delegated agent.

01
Shopify · Faire
Watch inventory

Cross-channel stock visibility across your DTC Shopify storefront and your Faire wholesale orders, refreshed continuously — not on a Polygon reshuffling schedule.

02:14 — flagged 12 units of hero serum left at the Herald St. stockroom
02
Mentions · Saves · For-you pages
Listen for trend shifts

Tracks what indie beauty buyers are suddenly talking about — quiet spike on a new fan account, an unexpectedly re-shared restock clip, a creator you don’t follow picking up the formula.

Reply to DMs in your voice

Customer messages answered in the language you actually use — not the cheerful SaaS voice, not the stilted brand voice in a deck somewhere. Trained once, kept warm as you ship.

08:42 — answered 14 DMs in the founder’s voice, 0 escalations
04
Procurement drafts
Auto-restock hero SKUs

Drafts purchase orders near your thresholds, escalates above them, and only ever files in tone you’ve already approved. The founder signs; the agent does the chase.

06:55 — restock draft queued: 240u cleansing balm, awaiting founder sign-off

Hands on the wheel, not unbridled

With the wheel comes guardrails.

An AI agent answering customer DMs and drafting purchase orders is not something you hand away without limits. Cottier operates inside three rails you set — nothing crosses them without your sign-off.

rail

Discount language

Marketing-controlled discount tiers. The agent drafts; the founder signs anything under your floor or above your cap.

rail

Inventory thresholds

Per-SKU soft and hard gates. Auto-restock drafts only ever span the soft corridor; surprises route up to you.

rail

Tone

Trained on the brand voice you actually have — copywriter’s recent posts, founder’s last 200 DMs, your site’s hero lines. Reviewed weekly, never silently drifted.

Where Cottier fits

Not a seeding tool. Not an enterprise stack. Not a one-slice chatbot.

Archive · GRIN

creator seeding at scale

Cottier is the back office, not the seeding pipeline.

Talkwalker · Sprinklr

enterprise social stacks

Indie pricing, not six-figure annuals.

Ada · ManyChat · Sidekick

one slice of the stack

Four back-office jobs bundled into one delegated agent.

FAQ

Practical questions, in plain prose.

Plug in once · hand over the wheel

Reclaim the night.

No more 3 a.m. “why are we sold out” pages. No DMs sitting unanswered for hours. No slow product drops getting missed because someone forgot to refresh a tracker.
