Every entrepreneurial hero needs a sidekick, and Shopify is releasing a new assistant to help out with an array of tasks on your Shopify store.
As announced by Shopify’s CEO, Tobias Lütke, an AI-powered assistant for merchants is being built and released soon.
Sidekick is powered by generative AI, and it is capable of creating new content like conversations, stories, images, and much more.
It can perform various tasks like answering questions, translating languages, and even creating original content.
The demos look impressive; Sidekick will be activated by clicking the icon in the top right of your Shopify admin:
and then used similarly to ChatGPT:
Sidekick will be helping out with content creation (help with product descriptions and titles, for example, or blog post ideas), workflows, and actions like “put this collection on SALE”, or “Apply discount to XY” which will definitely shorten the time needed to manage your store, reports, like “show me all my best selling products”, and even theme edits, like changing the colors of the website!
Sidekick will be available for all Shopify users under all plans, though some features may be reserved for the higher-end plans.
Shopify Sidekick is AI designed for e-commerce, and we are patiently waiting to see it live. In the meantime, store owners can sign up for early access to Sidekick here.
