Discover how Square AI is revolutionizing business for US merchants with innovative tools, enhancing efficiency and customer experiences.
Block Inc’s Square has unveiled its latest innovation, Square AI, an artificial intelligence tool now available in open beta exclusively for merchants in the United States. This innovative tool is seamlessly integrated into the Square Dashboard, enabling sellers to receive immediate responses to business inquiries through natural language processing.
The unveiling of Square AI was led by Willem Avé, Square’s Global Head of Product, during the recent Square Releases event. This AI-powered assistant is designed to interpret merchants’ questions, streamline the retrieval of relevant data from Square, and deliver concise answers efficiently. By eliminating the need to manually search reports or sift through extensive data, Square AI aims to significantly ease the operational process for merchants.
The AI assistant provides valuable insights into several business aspects, including:
Square has plans to enhance the capabilities of Square AI throughout the year, offering a more comprehensive set of tools for merchants.
The feature is designed as a conversational chat interface within the Square Dashboard. Merchants can inquire about various business aspects like sales, customers, staff, and transactions. Once they find the answers they need, they have the option to download the data as a CSV file or explore it further through visual tools such as pie, line, or bar charts. The AI maintains the context of the conversation, allowing for seamless inquiries without the need to repeat previous questions.
Square AI not only assists with insights but also provides operational guidance on using Square. For instance, if a merchant asks how to perform a task within Square, the AI scans the knowledge base and delivers step-by-step instructions.
In terms of data security, Square has implemented stringent measures to ensure the protection of sensitive business or financial data. This includes preventing data transmission to model providers or partners. Additionally, Square has corporate agreements with third-party companies to ensure that any data processed outside of Square’s systems is not stored or used for training purposes.
Square AI is part of a suite of AI features already integrated within the company’s offerings, including AI-powered content creation, onboarding, and setup features. Moreover, Square has recently introduced the Square MCP server, which standardizes the connection and context provision to large language models like ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.
