Hey fellow Shopify devs!
I’m researching AI integrations for apps and extensions (theme/app blocks, UI extensions, etc.).
-
What AI APIs do you commonly use? (e.g., OpenAI/GPT, Anthropic/Claude, Google Gemini, Grok, or others?)
-
How do you integrate them? (Server-side calls in Node/Ruby apps? Webhooks? Storefront agents via MCP? Best practices for keys/security/performance?)
-
Any third-party platforms/tools that are super easy/dev-friendly? (e.g., pre-built apps like Tidio/Gorgias for chatbots, or no-code options?)
Bonus: With Shopify’s newer AI features (Sidekick, Catalog API, Storefront MCP), how are you combining them with external LLMs?
Really looking forward to hearing those ideas.
Thanks
