When Homegrown Cannabis Co. partnered with Envive, the goal was simple: help growers — from first-timers to experts — find the right strain with confidence. The result has been a major uplift in engagement and conversion, proving how powerful an AI can be when it truly understands both the brand and the customer.

Key Results

• 2.8× increase in Add-to-Cart rate
• 5× increase in Completed Checkouts

From Questions to Confident Purchases

Before Envive, only 7% of visitors added a product to their cart. After integrating Envive, nearly one in five shoppers that ask one question did. Even more impressively, checkout completions grew 5X, meaning far more users went from exploring strains to growing them.

What Customers Wanted to Know

New growers often come to Homegrown with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty — asking everything from which strains are easiest to cultivate, to what growing conditions will yield the best results. Envive helped turn those moments into opportunities for connection, surfacing clear, brand-informed answers that guided customers through the early stages of their growing journey. Many of these interactions began with Envive’s suggested “most asked” questions, showing how guided conversations can keep curious growers engaged and confident, rather than abandoning their search for answers elsewhere.

Why Brand-Aware AI Matters

For a brand like Homegrown Cannabis Co., context is everything. The AI must understand both the product catalog and the boundaries of responsible conversation.

Imagine a customer asking, “Which product is best for my child?” — a clearly inappropriate question in the context of cannabis. A generic chatbot might fumble that. Envive doesn’t. Its AI is built to understand nuance, recognize sensitive topics, and respond safely — always aligned with the brand’s voice, expertise, and responsibility.

The Takeaway

By combining brand-specific understanding with real-time conversational intelligence, Homegrown Cannabis Co. turned engagement into meaningful action.

Envive didn’t just answer questions — it became part of the buying journey.
