Introducing Visualize AI – Helping Merchants Show Products in Real Environments Using AI

Shopify Apps

We recently launched Visualize AI, a Shopify app that helps merchants show how their products look in real environments — without the complexity of AR or 3D modeling.

Instead of needing customers to open their camera or scan a room, Visualize AI uses AI-generated room previews that automatically place the product into a realistic space. The goal is simple: help shoppers see the product in context before buying, and help merchants boost engagement with better visuals.

Why we built it

During our research, we noticed something interesting:
While AR “try-on” tools exist for clothing and fashion, furniture, home décor, and lifestyle stores are still underserved. Most of the existing solutions are either too expensive, too technical, or limited to 3D uploads.

At the same time, data shows that shoppers are 5x more likely to buy when they can visualize the product in their own environment — yet the majority of Shopify merchants don’t have the tools or budget for that.

We wanted to build something that’s:

  • Easy to set up (no code, no 3D assets)

  • Fast for customers (no scanning or calibration)

  • Affordable for small and medium stores

How it works

After installing the app, the merchant selects which products should have a “Visualize” button, then:

  1. Customers can then click “See in Room” and instantly get an AI-generated preview of the product in a real environment.

  2. The AI adapts lighting, perspective, and shadows automatically — creating realistic, context-rich visuals.

It’s not AR — it’s AI visualization designed to work anywhere, instantly.

The bigger picture

We believe visualization will become a core part of online shopping — just like product videos or reviews once were.
Right now, merchants are looking for affordable ways to create trust and reduce returns, especially in categories where seeing the item in context really matters.

Visualize AI is a small step toward that future, and we’d love to hear feedback from the community — both from merchants and other app developers.

We’d really appreciate any feedback, ideas, or even just your thoughts on whether AI visualization feels like a direction worth exploring more deeply.

Thanks for reading, and good luck to everyone building amazing things for the Shopify ecosystem

At those price points the listing really needs a demo video.

Video is definetely on the list of things to come. Been polishing the whole app and core functionality right after launch, also talking to merchants and improving it.

What do you think of the app as an idea? What are some of your thoughts? Would love to talk to you.
