🔥 Shopify merchants: What’s the ONE thing AI still can’t solve for you?

Ask & Offer

Topic summary

A developer is launching a monthly AI App Challenge for Shopify merchants. The concept:

The Offer:

  • Share your biggest operational pain point
  • One selected problem will be turned into a custom AI app within 30 days
  • Winner and community get free early access

Target Problems:
Looking for genuinely frustrating, unsolved issues—not generic tools. Examples include:

  • Time-consuming product research
  • Ineffective ad spending
  • Difficult copywriting processes
  • Hidden pain points merchants rarely discuss publicly

Call to Action:
Merchants are invited to describe their “AI genie wish”—the one problem they’d most want solved. The idea generating the most community interest will be selected for development.

Every month, I’m throwing down an AI App Challenge:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: You tell me your biggest headache in running a Shopify store.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: I’ll pick one idea and build the app from scratch in 30 days.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: The winner (and the community) gets to use it first — free.

Not looking for “another SEO optimizer” unless it’s truly broken for you. I want the ugly, annoying, can’t-believe-no-one-fixed-this kind of problems:

  • Is product research eating your time?

  • Ads burning cash with no results?

  • Copywriting that feels like pulling teeth?

  • Or maybe something nobody talks about but EVERY merchant secretly hates?

:speech_balloon: Drop your idea below. If you had an AI genie for your Shopify store, what’s the first wish you’d make?

Let’s see which problem gets the loudest voices. One of you is getting your dream app next month.
