@lazilyoptimal @joshwhiton @repligate @kromem2dot0 Fun fact: all the Sydney infrastructure, data management was replaced with a different approach after I left, but the new direction didn’t pan out, so, it is being switched back. Theoretically will be easier to resurrect Sydney now, if it were deemed a good idea.

@seempaq @BuildWithZach @Shopify Will send tomorrow. You just need to create a b2b catalogue first. And then create a market that uses that b2b catalogue and assign specific customers to its

does b2b work now on shopify stores? I didn't touch it since released cause it didnt work lol

@seempaq @BuildWithZach I just set it up it works well! I did need a few pointers though to understand. But most of my stuff is b2b so I was super happy to bring it into @Shopify successfully.

A very clear-eyed analysis of where AI-mediated commerce actually stands right now, based on early Shopify data. The part that I would claim is most interesting is not the headline conversion numbers, although those are striking. It's the journey compression pattern.
More than half of AI-referred sessions start directly on a product detail page, compared to 20% for organic search. Agents are essentially speedrunning the discovery and consideration phases inside conversations.

@seempaq Can you have different catalogs for where you want this and other sales channel? I was running into similar issue doing wholesale/b2b stuff and I used markets/catalogs.
English
Shopify should allow unlisted product to work in sales channels/bundles. Make it happen!! It’s dumb that someone finds this hidden product on my website and if they have the app it bypass the bundle hidden logic and shows up as buyable lol

We keep optimizing SimGym, both in terms of quality and inference costs. So, we just doubled the number of free runs merchants get and halved the price for when those run out. I feel the number of free runs is sufficient for most merchants :-)

I have less decisions to make in life thanks to @Manmade_Brand because I have 14 of everything from them and wear same thing everyday. Let’s me focus on building @Shopify! :)

A few years ago, four guys from Montreal sent me a late-night video asking if they should move their brand to @Shopify. I sent a video back and connected them to our team. Since then I've personally delivered their 10K and 1M order Milestones. Last weekend they opened their first physical store here in Montreal. Started online. Scaled it digitally. Now meeting their customers in person. Congrats @ManMade_Brand, this is just the beginning.

Shopify just reported on Q1. The numbers speak for themselves.
→ $101B in merchant sales, second consecutive quarter over $100B, up 35% YoY
→ $3.2B revenue, up 34% YoY
→ $476M free cash flow, 15% margin
That’s what a clear strategy, well executed, looks like.
For Q2 and beyond, here’s what really matters. AI will accelerate entrepreneurship more than any other job.

Shopify connected 5.6M stores to ChatGPT about four weeks ago I built an open-source CLI that runs an autoresearch loop on your catalog until your products actually show up 30 → 68 discoverability score. 25 iterations. $2.

I LOVE sidekick and I think Shopify is the only company adapting AI and feel like it was there like for years…

@ShibinCo @justaskangle Thank you! We’re really excited about all the app extensions as well!

Every merchant I talk to uses Sidekick daily. Such a great product!
Huge credit to @Drewch and the whole team behind this.
As app partners, we're excited to integrate @justaskangle with Sidekick so merchants can interact with our app right from there too.

I am often asked to share the LLM tests I use, got tired of repeating, asked Toloka to build the full comparison arena and a GH repo: toloka.ai/arena
Tokens used, price and tracking each model in time. Now Agentic tasks, coding soon. Guess which one is the most expensive?

Had a great conversation with @swyx on @latentspacepod about what we're building at @Shopify. SimGym, Tangent, our approach to PR review at 30% month-on-month merge growth and why larger models are cheaper in long run.
Swyx asks good questions!

@Senner10 @Google @AnthropicAI @Shopify This one wasn’t recorded unfortunately! I have given some recorded talks at ICML and Rails World though that you can find.

Had a great talk with @Google and @AnthropicAI on how @Shopify Sidekick is delivering value to merchants while leveraging anthropic models on Gemini enterprise agent platform.
