The **Autonomous AI Merchandiser** is your merchandising on autopilot. Once a week it works through your whole store: it **audits** every collection for problems, **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 in a few seconds. (It also runs on its own about once a week, 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**. That revenue figure is the point: it's what the AI actually earned you.

## 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

Flip on **autopilot** and 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. Nothing is irreversible: every collection it builds has an **Undo** button in the AI Impact list that removes it again — and the merchandiser won't rebuild it.

## FAQ

### 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?

About once a week per store. 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 direct read on what the merchandiser is earning you.

### 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.
