Hi! Just got Shopify Sidekick on our Shopify Plus store (we are outside the US, so therefore just now). To me I am positively surprised so far, but it is like getting a new set of LEGO’s, but without the manual I can build something, but missing the manual, I am sure I don’t get the best of the kit.
So therefore - please let me know how you have used it. Cases, examples, prompts, learnings - all tips and tricks are welcome. I have so far asked about which products to focus on restocking and it gives great answers, but I feel I am still just like 0,1 % into what I can get from it, so I would appreciate all input highly
Hi Klavs, I’d use Sickkick more like an AI assistant: ask it one thing at a time and focus on tasks like SEO, improving product descriptions or optimizing specific flows in your store.
(Full disclosure: I’m one of the developers of an app that connects Shopify with Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta Ads and uses AI to analyze your data and suggest actions. It’s mainly useful if you want to understand what’s working in your marketing and where to improve. If you’d like to try it and share feedback, I can also suggest the best ways to use AI on your store. We have an inventory too too!)
