For your Shopify shop, this means: less manual work, better performance, and finally tools you won&#8217;t want to live without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest update? AI evolves from a nice gimmick to a real workhorse. Sidekick now builds apps, creates flows, and adjusts your theme \u2013 all via text command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, you get native A\/B tests that save you from expensive third-party tools. And particularly exciting: your products automatically become discoverable in ChatGPT, Copilot, and other AI agents \u2013 a completely new sales channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sidekick Becomes an AI Agent \u2013 Your New Shopify Pro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sidekick is no longer just a chat tool, but a full-fledged operator that plans, executes, and handles complex tasks. Instead of just answering questions, it now builds custom apps, creates workflows in Shopify Flow, and generates reports in ShopifyQL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example: you say &#8220;Build me an app that automatically checks which products need reordering.&#8221; Sidekick builds the tool for you \u2013 no code, no developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proactive insights instead of reactive answers:<\/strong> Sidekick Pulse delivers personalized recommendations before you even ask. Based on market trends and your shop data, it suggests concrete optimizations \u2013 like which products you should push or where your customer journey is breaking down. The whole thing runs in the background and only alerts you when it&#8217;s really relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Custom apps without developers:<\/strong> Custom App Generation is a real game-changer for SMEs without their own IT department. Sidekick understands your requirement in natural language and builds a working Shopify app from it. Examples from the Winter Edition: reorder tools for inventory, task trackers for your team, bulk importers for B2B customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Automations that actually work:<\/strong> Sidekick now creates flows in Shopify Flow, custom reports in ShopifyQL, and customer segments \u2013 all on command. A concrete use case: &#8220;If inventory drops below 10, create an order with the supplier and notify the team.&#8221; Sidekick translates that into a working flow that you just need to activate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Design adjustments via text command:<\/strong> Theme edits now run through Sidekick instead of the code editor. &#8220;Make the buttons rounder,&#8221; &#8220;Change the spacing between products,&#8221; &#8220;Add a trust badge under the add-to-cart button&#8221; \u2013 it all works via chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The built-in image editor removes backgrounds, expands canvas size, and clears out distracting elements from your product photos. On mobile, you can even operate Sidekick via voice \u2013 perfect for on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical Sidekick features for everyday use:<\/strong> Skills are reusable prompts that you can share with the community. Instead of phrasing the same request every time, you save successful prompts as a skill and call them up with one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">App Discovery helps you find the right tools for your requirements \u2013 Sidekick compares features and suggests which app best fits your setup. Sidekick now also remembers your preferences and past chats \u2013 making collaboration much smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Native A\/B Tests and Launch Security \u2013 Finally Without Third-Party Chaos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rollouts bring you native A\/B tests for themes directly in the admin<\/strong>, with scheduled theme rollouts and automatic winner takeover. No more fiddling with external tools, no plugin conflicts, no additional costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly valuable for <a href=\"https:\/\/what.digital\/what-is-shopify-plus\/\">Shopify Plus shops<\/a> that regularly want to test optimizations. Standard shops will get a stripped-down version \u2013 when exactly is still unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SimGym tests your changes before customers see them:<\/strong> SimGym is a new app from the Shopify App Store that uses AI agents to simulate buyer behavior. Based on billions of real transactions, SimGym predicts how your changes will affect conversion, add-to-cart rate, and average cart value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical example: you&#8217;re planning a theme redesign before <a href=\"https:\/\/what.digital\/black-friday-shopify-preparation\/\">Black Friday<\/a>. SimGym shows you in advance whether the new design performs better \u2013 without having to use real customers as guinea pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When are A\/B tests really worth it?<\/strong> Theme redesigns before major launches like Black Friday or product launches are the perfect use case. With Rollouts, you test different versions in parallel and automatically let the winning variant take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Particularly interesting for multilingual Swiss shops:<\/strong> you can configure tests per market \u2013 so run different variants in parallel for German, French, and Italian. This helps you account for cultural differences in buying behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agentic Storefronts \u2013 Your Shop Sells in AI Chats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agentic Storefronts make your products automatically discoverable in ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity \u2013 more channels to follow. Customers can browse, ask questions, and buy directly in chat without visiting your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You set up the data once, and Shopify handles the distribution. New discovery channels without extra effort \u2013 exactly as it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters for your shop:<\/strong> E-commerce is increasingly shifting into conversations rather than traditional webshops. Those who start now have an advantage before the channel becomes too crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setup takes just a few minutes. What&#8217;s important is that your product data is cleanly structured \u2013 categories, metafields, and descriptions need to be on point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Immediately Usable Features for Your Daily Shop Operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2048 variants per product<\/strong> instead of the previous 100 finally make large assortments properly manageable.
