See every featureFoundByAI helps Shopify merchants show up when buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT for product recommendations. The app reads your catalog, generates real buyer questions, and checks if AI recommends you. Get a visibility score, see missing keywords, and fix descriptions with one click. We also notify Bing and Google after every sync, so your products get discovered by AI faster
FoundInAI asks five AI assistants what shoppers ask about your store and your hero products, then shows each answer word for word: who was named, who was named instead, and what to fix first. It writes the llms.txt file AI assistants read and publishes it to your theme only when you click. After a fix, it asks the same questions again so you can compare two dated snapshots.

- Find keyword gaps and rewrite product descriptions in one click
- Schema audit, llms.txt and AI visibility tracking over time
- Scan your store's AI visibility and get a score with actionable fixes
- Generate and upload llms.txt so AI tools accurately describe your brand
- Track if ChatGPT, Perplexity & Claude mention your store in real time
