Shopify launches AI assistant Sidekick in early access, aiding merchants with tasks like discount codes and report generation. Initially available to English-speaking North American stores, it aims to expand globally. Other updates include enhanced AI tools for image editing, product creation, and customer interaction. New features for POS, unified analytics, and the reimagined Markets tool simplify international selling and in-person transactions.
Markifact automates the creation and uploading of Meta ads using AI. Users generate custom visuals and matching ad copy by writing detailed prompts and uploading reference images. Ads are uploaded in a paused status for review before going live. This tool allows for quick creation of multiple ad variations, adaptation to market trends, and scaling of campaigns without needing extensive design or copywriting resources.
