The problem it solves

You've got a design ready but turning it into an actual product listing means removing the background, making mockups, writing descriptions, and posting it in three different places. That's an hour of repetitive work for every single design.

Who it fits

A print-on-demand seller, independent artist, or small e-commerce brand.

How it works

  1. You drop a new design file into a folder
  2. AI reviews the image for content and checks for copyright risk
  3. The background is removed and mockups are generated on product templates
  4. AI writes a product title, description, and tags, and a draft is created in Shopify
  5. You approve it in Slack, then it publishes to Shopify and posts to Instagram and Pinterest
What you get

Product listings you approve before launch

Turn a design file into mockups, a written listing, and social posts, ready for your approval before anything goes live.

What you get

An approved product listing published to Shopify with matching social media posts.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, a Remove.bg account, a Cloudinary account, a Shopify store, 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.
