Many Shopify merchants' products don't surface in LLM answers. Build a connector that exposes product catalogs, attributes, and real-time signals to ChatGPT/LLMs so products become retrievable in conversational search.
Small-to-midsize online stores lack time and expertise to squeeze growth from data. StoreClaw connects to your store, surfaces revenue opportunities and — with approval — executes automated sales actions so merchants sell more with less effort.
Manual inventory leads to stockouts, overstocks, and shrinkage. An AI-enabled inventory system automates counts, forecasts demand, and integrates POS/ERP to recover margins and reduce carrying costs.
