See every featureAIReadinessAIQ measures how well AI shopping assistants can read your products and fixes what they cannot. Get an AI Readiness Score per product, then use AI to generate clearer titles, descriptions, alt text, meta tags, and FAQs from your own data. You review and edit every suggestion before it saves. Designed to help ChatGPT, Gemini, and similar assistants understand your catalog.
Shopify now sends your catalogue to ChatGPT automatically — but it sends whatever data you already have. Vague titles, missing categories and specs buried in paragraphs are invisible to AI shopping agents. Shelfready scores every product out of 100, then proposes fixes drawn only from your own content. Every suggested value quotes the text it came from, so you can check it before applying.
