The problem it solves

Big orders come through your store all the time, but you have no easy way to spot the ones from your best customers. By the time you notice, the moment to reach out personally has passed.

Who it fits

Ecommerce businesses that want to give VIP customers extra attention without watching every order manually.

How it works

  1. A new Shopify order comes in and the system checks if it's over your value threshold
  2. For qualifying orders, it pulls that customer's full purchase history
  3. AI summarizes their buying behavior into a short, readable insight
  4. The order details and summary are posted straight to a Slack channel
What you get

VIP orders your team notices right away

Your team gets an instant Slack alert with a customer's purchase history whenever a high-value Shopify order comes in.

What you get

A Slack alert with the order details and an AI summary of the customer's history.

What you need

A Shopify store, an OpenAI account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
