Every year, Shopify holds a semi-annual showcase of all of its latest products and innovations, and this year it used the opportunity to announce two new AI features, Sidekick and AI-driven email campaigns.
Sidekick is an AI-powered commerce assistant that can answer all user questions about business operations. Shopify CEO Tobi L¨¹tke demoed the feature on his Twitter earlier this month.

Some examples of use cases include "how to set up a discount for a holiday sale" to "help me segment my customers so I can better engage them in my marketing," according to the release.
The AI-driven email campaigns feature is precisely what it sounds like -- a tool that generates personalized emails from user prompts.

In addition, the AI can make intelligent recommendations that drive click-through rates and increase engagement.
