The Autonomous AI Merchandiser
The Autonomous AI Merchandiser is your merchandising on autopilot. Once a week it works through your whole store: it audits every collection for problems and, if you turn on autopilot, acts on the ones it can fix, then hands you a report of exactly what it changed — and what those AI-built collections sold in the last 30 days. Think of it as a merchandiser who never sleeps and always shows their numbers. You can let it run on its own, or hit Run now any time.

1 Find the AI Merchandiser
The AI Merchandiser card sits at the top of your dashboard. Until its first run it shows a short intro; after a run it shows the latest report.
2 Run it now
Click Run now to trigger a cycle immediately. It audits every collection, takes any actions it's allowed to, and returns a fresh report when the run finishes (on a large catalog that can take a few minutes, and you can leave the page while it runs). (It also runs on its own every Monday, so you don't have to remember to.)
3 Read the report
The report opens with a one-line summary and an impact line — AI-built revenue and units over the last 30 days, plus how many collections it audited, re-synced and built. It shows how the collections the AI built are selling.
4 Review the recommendations
Below the summary is a list of recommendations — thin collections, sold-out products sitting near the top, collections that have gone stale — each with a suggested fix. In advisory mode the agent only recommends; it won't change anything without your say-so.
5 Turn on autopilot to let it act
Under Autopilot in the AI Merchandiser card, tick Autopilot — let the AI act on its own, set Minimum matched products and Max collections per run, and click Save autopilot settings. From then on the merchandiser stops just advising and starts acting: it re-syncs stale collections and auto-builds high-confidence suggested collections on every run. The report then shows what it did, not just what it found. Collections it builds are easy to remove: every collection it builds has an Undo button in the AI-built collections list that removes it again — and the merchandiser won't rebuild it.
Frequently asked questions
Does it change my store without asking?
Only if you turn on autopilot. With autopilot off it runs in advisory mode — it audits and recommends, but makes no changes.
How often does it run on its own?
Every Monday, just after midnight in your store's timezone. The weekly report email (if it has something new to tell you) arrives then too. You can always trigger an extra run with Run now.
What does "AI-built revenue" mean?
It's the last-30-day units and revenue of the collections the AI created (from accepted suggestions) — a quick read on how the collections it built are selling.
What can it do automatically on autopilot?
Re-sync collections that have gone stale, and accept high-confidence collection suggestions into live, auto-updating collections — capped per run so it never floods your store.
Which plan includes it?
The AI Merchandiser is part of the AI toolkit on the Pro and Enterprise plans.
