FREE · LAUNCHED APRIL 2026
Why I use it
- Fewer API hallucinations when context comes from Shopify’s own schemas.
- Speeds repetitive work (bulk, GraphQL) with guardrails.
How I use it : mini guide
I use it as a copilot, not a replacement for review and dev-store testing.
- Setup : Install per official docs, dedicated test store.
- Queries : Natural-language iterations, then validate mutations on a small product subset.
- Liquid : Section suggestions : always validate with Theme Check and visually.
- Handover : Document sensitive prompts and scripts for the client.
Never run unchecked bulk mutations without backup or a validated sample.
Concrete Shopify example
Bulk metafield updates: boilerplate faster, human review on edge cases.
Limits I've identified
- New tool : watch for behaviour changes.
- Quality depends on instructions given.
- Security best practices still mandatory.
