What is Shopify Sidekick?

Sidekick is Shopify's built-in AI assistant for running your store, from answering questions about your data to helping with tasks in the admin. We help you get real value from it rather than poking at it occasionally.

Is my store data safe with AI tools?

We set AI up with sensible guardrails and are careful about what data goes where. We will walk you through exactly what is and is not shared.

Can AI really help without making a mess?

Used well, yes. We keep a human in the loop for anything customer-facing, so AI speeds up the work without putting quality or brand voice at risk.

Automations and AI

AI Automation with Sidekick

Put Shopify's AI to work. We help you use Sidekick and AI automation for content, merchandising, support and back-office tasks, set up for your store.

Start a project See the work

AI is arriving inside Shopify itself, and most merchants have barely scratched what it can do. Sidekick and AI automation can take real work off your plate, if they are set up around your store instead of used at random.

AI that fits your store

We configure Sidekick and AI workflows around your catalogue and the tasks you actually repeat: product copy, merchandising, support replies and back-office admin. The goal is time saved on the routine, so your team spends theirs on the work that matters.

Speed with guardrails

AI is only useful if the output stays on-brand and correct. We keep a human in the loop where it counts and set sensible limits, so you get the speed without the mess.
