What we build
Four AI projects we build on Shopify stores.
Start with one. Each has its own scope, its own price and one number it has to move.
AI search and product recommendations
Search that understands how shoppers describe products, filters that match your catalogue, and recommendation blocks placed where they raise order value.
- Search and filters set up on Shopify Search & Discovery or Algolia
- Synonyms and typo handling built from your own search logs
- Recommendation blocks on product, cart and post-purchase pages
Measured byRevenue per visitor from search

Shopping assistants and AI support agents
An assistant on the storefront that answers questions about sizing, stock, delivery and returns from your policies and order data, and hands the chat to your team when it cannot.
- An assistant set up in Gorgias, Intercom or Zendesk, or built for your store
- Answers limited to your catalogue, your policies and order status
- Hand-off to your support inbox with the transcript
Measured byChats resolved without an agent

Shopify’s built-in AI, an AI app, or a custom build?
We set up all three. The audit shows which one your store needs, and the quote names it.
| Built into Shopify | An App Store AI app | A custom build | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Examples | Sidekick and Shopify Search & Discovery | Search, support and recommendation apps | An app or automation written for your store |
| Cost | Included in your Shopify plan, with usage limits by plan | A monthly fee that often rises with orders or traffic | One fixed quote, plus the AI provider’s usage fees |
| Time to go live | Days | 1 to 2 weeks with setup and testing | 2 to 8 weeks, by scope |
| Where your data goes | Handled by Shopify under your Shopify terms | To the app vendor, under the vendor’s terms | Only to the AI provider you choose, from accounts in your name |
| Who maintains it | Shopify | The app vendor | Us on a retainer, or your developers |
| Fits when | The standard feature covers the job | A proven app already does the job well | No app does the job, or it must follow your own rules and data |
Our rule: built-in first, an app when it pays for itself, custom only when neither does the job.
See how AI assistants answer about your store.
The free audit visits your store as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini would, asks each one for products like yours, and lists what to fix first.
What a shopping assistant answers, by store type.
Four examples. The assistant reads each answer from fields in the Shopify catalogue, and we set those fields up first.
Beauty and skincare
Which shade suits light skin with warm undertones, and does it work on oily skin?
Shade 230 Warm Beige is listed for light skin with warm undertones. The formula is oil-free with a matte finish, and the page lists it for oily and combination skin.

How we build it
How we keep AI answers correct and your data yours.
These five rules are written into the scope of every AI project.
Answers come from your store
The assistant reads your product pages, metafields and policies. When the answer is not there, it says so and offers a person.
A person takes over when asked
Chats hand off to your support inbox in Gorgias, Intercom or Zendesk with the full transcript.
Every AI draft is checked
A person checks each description, alt text and collection page against the product before it goes live.
The accounts are in your name
AI provider and app accounts are opened under your company, so the data, the keys and the invoices stay with you.
Tested before launch, reviewed after
We run a list of real customer questions before launch and read the chat logs every month.

Questions about AI-powered ecommerce.
What is AI-powered ecommerce?
It is an online store that uses AI to help shoppers find, compare and buy products, and that publishes its product data in a form AI assistants can read. On Shopify that means AI search and recommendations, an assistant that answers product questions, AI-assisted content in the admin, and a catalogue that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot can quote.
What does an AI ecommerce agency do for a Shopify store?
We decide which AI features fit the store, set them up or build them, connect the product data AI assistants use, and report what each feature changes. Most of the work runs on your current theme and apps; the audit shows when something needs rebuilding.
Do I need Shopify Plus to use AI on my store?
No. Shopify now documents its built-in AI tools, including what was called Shopify Magic, under Sidekick, and Sidekick is included at no extra cost on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus, with usage limits that vary by plan. Product data, schema, search apps and assistant apps also work on any plan. Plus matters when the work needs checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions in a custom app, or B2B.
Should I use Shopify’s built-in AI, an app or a custom build?
Start with what Shopify includes. Add an app when a proven one already does the job, and build custom only when no app does it or it has to follow your own rules and data. The audit shows which of the three your store needs.
How long does an AI project take?
A single AI feature is usually live in two to four weeks. Search, an assistant and AI visibility together take four to eight weeks, and large catalogues sit at the longer end.
How much does an AI-powered Shopify store cost?
Every project gets one written, fixed quote after the first call, with milestone billing. The quote prices each AI feature separately, so you can start with one. The price calculator on this site gives a range before the call.
How do you measure whether the AI features work?
Each feature has a number in the scope: revenue per visitor for search and recommendations, chats resolved without an agent for assistants, and AI referral revenue and citations for AI assistant visibility. We report them every month.
How does this relate to your agentic commerce service?
Agentic commerce is one part of this work: getting products found and bought inside AI assistants. An AI-powered store also covers search, recommendations, assistants and content on your own storefront.
Can you add AI to a store another agency built?
Yes. Most AI features install on the existing theme and apps. The audit lists what can stay and what needs changing before we quote.
