Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureKai adds a chat bubble to your storefront where shoppers ask for products in their own words, like "wireless headphones under $50" or "a black dumbbell set". Every answer comes from your synced product data: real titles, prices, variants and stock. If you don't carry something, Kai says so instead of making it up, and suggests close items you do stock. There is nothing to train or write.
Shoppers rarely search the way catalogs are written. They ask for "a graduation gift for my niece" or "everyday studs, nothing flashy" — occasions and constraints, not product titles. Personal Shopper AI puts a chat bar at the bottom of every page. It reads your products, collections, blog posts and pages, then answers in your store's voice with real, in-stock items a shopper can click straight through to.

- Filters by price, brand, category, and stock in plain language
