Shopify AI Agency
Which rules do we apply to every AI project?
Effect is measured
Every use case gets a measurement that can also show failure. We stop what shows no effect.
A person signs off
Where statements are legally sensitive or money moves, a person decides. The AI prepares and approves nothing.
Data first, model second
Every model delivers poor results from incomplete data. Each project therefore starts with a review of product, customer and process data.
What does a Shopify AI agency take on?
A Shopify AI agency connects language models to the data and processes of an online store. We take on three tasks: AI in the store where customers search and buy, custom applications for internal processes, and security for code written with AI. This page groups our AI services by those three goals.
NICCOS has been a Shopify Plus Partner since April 2022 and is an OpenAI partner. The Shopify Partner Directory lists 19 reviews with a rating of 5.0. Our background is Shopify development, so an AI project starts with the data model in the store and with the interfaces to ERP and PIM.
When is a custom AI application worth building?
A custom application is worth building when a process depends on your data and no standard tool covers it. That applies to B2B quotes, catalogue maintenance with your own attributes, or service replies that read orders and returns. When a Shopify feature or an app from the App Store is enough, we recommend that.
The operator of the official CR7 online stores shows how we connect a store to a system nobody else uses. The company sold through physical retail and marketplaces and ran a proprietary ERP and warehouse system. We built mycr7.eu and mycr7.ch on Shopify Plus, connected that system and set up Swiss tax, customs and CHF pricing through Shopify Markets. The MYCR7 case study reports revenue 120% above the level from retail and marketplaces. It was a commerce build and not an AI project. It shows the integration work our AI applications rest on.
Our own app, Best Price Indicator (PAngV), is available in the Shopify App Store and displays the lowest prior price that German price law requires. The store also lists Sphen.ai, a joint product of getSichtbar and NICCOS for search and AI visibility. The service is described on Shopify app development.
How does code written with AI become production-ready?
AI produces a prototype quickly. For production it usually lacks permission checks, error handling, logs and a way back when a release fails. We review the code for security gaps, settle who operates the application and accept it only after that.
Our page on how we work describes how we run projects from the first question to operations. For the store side of AI, see AI for ecommerce growth.
