The problem it solves

Writing product copy in multiple languages for every item in your store takes forever, and translation quality often falls apart when you rush it. Most small teams simply cannot keep up with a growing catalog across several markets.

Who it fits

An e-commerce seller running a Shopify store in multiple markets who needs product copy in more than one language.

How it works

  1. The automation pulls your product list and images from Shopify
  2. AI looks at each product's main photo and describes it objectively
  3. AI combines that with your product details to write copy in six languages
  4. Each language version is added as its own row in a spreadsheet for review
What you get

Product copy drafted in six languages

You get product names, descriptions, and handles drafted in six languages for every item, ready for your team to review.

What you get

A spreadsheet with ready-to-use product names, descriptions, and handles in six languages for every product.

What you need

A Shopify account, a Google Gemini API key, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
