Why are the new AI blocks and AI theme generator not available on dev accounts?
Isn’t that when they’d be most useful?
Read the friendly manual
https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/customizing-themes/theme-editor/shopify-magic/
The blocks should be available in any theme that supports theme-blocks
It will not work by default with the Dawn theme which is an old OS.20 theme.
Install one of the new free horizon themes Horizon themes - Free and Premium Themes for Your Online Store
Or sidestep that limitation and open sidekick when in the visual theme editor, or other parts of the admin, and ask it to create a section/block and it should rehydrate the url in the theme editor to the AI block prompt, or provide a url to the visual theme customizer with a block generation prompt open.
might be possible to make our own urls for apps, format is like: \https://admin.shopify.com/store/current/themes/current/editor?block=template–76543__76543__ai_gen_block_1234ba_abcDEF§ion=template–1234__1234a \https://admin.shopify.com/store/current/themes/current/editor?target=containerId%3Atemplate–1234234__templatename_azAz&generate=block
So might be some way to just change url to have the parameters target=containderId%<template_id> and generate=block to the visual theme editors url; but just adding generate=block gets iffy results and schema errors
Generating content
Generating content “text” is only in specific types of setting such as rich-text using the “generate text” button inside the visual theme editor.
Generate a free theme with AI?? on dev stores?
The prompt UI for theme generation in the themes admin doesn’t seem available on stores without a plan or trial ( free trial, Basic, Grow, or Advanced plans)

if you ask sidekick to generate a theme it just links to the block creator process to customize the live theme on a dev store
on a dev store with the new horizons theme…
already read the help - dev store does not present a ‘generate’ button at the add block step
“Or sidestep that limitation and open sidekick when in the visual theme editor, or other parts of the admin, and ask it to create a section/block” - sidekick just gives me a link that goes nowhere
Hi @Fe_Pixie
The Liquid gen feature is available on dev stores, have tested this out here: https://screenshot.click/07-35-2eyy8-r95p3.mp4
