## Shopify AI reads your catalog. Give it more to read.

Shopify's agentic storefronts put your products in ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, from the product data your store already holds. Clione works on that data and on the page around it: the reasoning a recommendation needs, the graph on every product page, the questions an assistant can quote.

Book a demo, What Shopify reads

## Four places Shopify's AI shows up.

### Your products in AI channels

ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Meta, switched on by default for eligible stores.

### What the agents search

Each product's title, description, options, images, price and availability, structured so an agent can parse them.

### The assistant in your admin

Sidekick answers questions in the Shopify admin and writes text where you ask for it, product descriptions included.

### A file for agents

Shopify serves a default /llms.txt for the store, mirroring its /agents.md, unless the theme sets its own.

### Shopify reads what the product says.

Shopify's own advice for AI channels is complete product data, metafields and SEO best practice. Clione drafts what a product is usually missing, from your brand's own answers, and writes it to the product's metafields.

- Who each product is for, how people choose it and the objection to answer: [the reasoning set](/features/semantic-enrichment/)
- A meta description and 12 to 18 search keywords in your catalog's language
- Nothing reaches the store until you press Push

### Assistants read the page, too.

Shopify notes that AI channels can also find products by crawling and indexing the web. On the product page, Clione's JSON-LD graph and FAQ accordion go out through two app embeds, beside your theme's markup.

- Written to metafields, switched on in one click: [how Clione works on Shopify](/works-with/shopify/)
- The product's questions as an accordion and as FAQPage markup
- The live page read back after each push, signal by signal

### Next to Shopify's llms.txt, not instead of it.

Shopify's default llms.txt describes the store. Clione adds [a Markdown document for every product](/features/llms-txt/), category, collection and page, served on your store's own domain under /apps/clione/, and leaves Shopify's file as Shopify serves it.

- Each product's details, who it suits, the common concerns and its questions
- A product deleted in Shopify disappears at once from what Clione serves to agents

## Find out whether they pick you.

Clione puts your shoppers' questions to ChatGPT and Gemini, and shows whether they name your products and who takes your place when they don't.

## What people ask about Shopify AI.

### Does Clione replace Shopify's agentic storefronts?

No. Shopify's agentic storefronts carry your products into AI channels; Clione works on what those products say, in metafields, on the product page and in plain text. The two sit side by side.

### What does Shopify AI read from my products?

Shopify Catalog sends AI channels each product's title, description, options, images, price, availability and other key attributes. For stores that want to go further, Shopify points to metafields, categorization and SEO best practice.

### How is this different from Sidekick?

Sidekick writes text where you ask for it in the admin. Clione works across the whole catalog: it learns your brand from your answers and documents, drafts every product's signals one at a time, in a batch or all at once, and checks the live page after you push.

### Does Clione change Shopify's llms.txt?

No. Shopify's default llms.txt stays as Shopify serves it. Clione's llms.txt and its per-product documents are served beside it, through Shopify's app proxy, under /apps/clione/ on your store's domain.

### What does it cost?

Nothing, during the beta. Clione is taking selected stores into this stage, in limited places, free of charge, and prices are published when the beta ends in Q1 2027.
