Feature 7. AI Agentic Software
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor works in conjunction with the new Shopify suite of “Agentic Commerce” functionality. This growing functionality allows shoppers to discover, compare, and purchase products, all from within the AI chat conversation window.
Customer Discovery
Your customers could essentially discover and then purchase your products all through the same chat AI window, using ChatGPT as an example:
- Discovery: The user asks the AI Agent (ie. ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, etc.) a question like "What is the best snowboard under $500?” The AI Agent being used will scan Shopify catalogs to recommend relevant products.
- Purchase: Buyers can complete their checkout inside the same AI Agent chat window, providing a seamless experience
- Data: Even though the purchase happens through the AI interface, the Shopify owner still remains the merchant of record. All customer and order data is noted with AI Agent attribution and tracked in your Shopify Dashboard.
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor allows you to scrub and structure your data in preparation for AI Agentic software.
Publish products or modify data in bulk making them more discoverable through AI Agent chat software.
Once your products are published, they could be found through tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, or Perplexity.
To get started, make sure your products are published and discoverable via Shopify Catalog.
AI Tools for Merchants
These new AI options are built-in to all Shopify stores so any merchant has this functionality, by default. Non-Shopify users can utilize the Shopify Agentic Plan.
Shopify Magic is a suite of AI-powered tools that can assist store-owners with image modifications, text creation for product descriptions or headings, or professional image adjustments through the media editor.
