Changelog
What we've shipped
New features, improvements, and fixes for making Shopify stores readable to AI shopping agents. Newest first.
- New
See your catalog fixes get absorbed — and the lift
Fix a product's data and verify it in Shopify's Global Catalog, and AgentReady now tracks how the catalog reads it over time: which products got absorbed, your absorption rate, and a per-product before-and-after legibility curve. The proof behind your AI shopping rank, and the before/after record a scraper-based tool can't show you.
Win the AI buy box - New
Customize your agents.md — free
Shopify gives every store a generic agents.md, the file AI shopping agents read to understand and transact with you. AgentReady now generates a brand-specific one from your live catalog, best-sellers, reviews and policies, scores it so you can see what's covered, and flags you when it drifts. Paste it into your theme once; it's plain Markdown you own. Free on every plan.
Customize your agents.md - New
Agency roll-up console
Partners managing many client shops get one pane for readiness, agentic rank, and outstanding remediation across every store they've referred, worst-first. Run audits across the fleet in one click, and queue remediation drafts your team reviews before anything goes live.
AgentReady for agencies - New
See how Shopify's Global Catalog reads your store
A new per-product comparison shows where Shopify's Global Catalog disagrees with your Admin: guessing the wrong category, carrying a stale price, or not picking your product up at all. The specific reasons you don't show up in AI shopping.
Why products don't show up - New
Fix your product data for AI in one click
When the comparison flags a gap, AgentReady drafts the fix — a clearer title, the right category, a fuller description — and you review and apply it to Shopify in one click, with one-click undo. Clean product data is what wins AI shoppers.
Category guessing, explained - New
Find the AI searches you're missing
See the category searches where shoppers find your competitors but not you, ranked by missed market, each with a recommended move: a collection to add, a description to write. The inverse of where you rank, showing where you should.
Agent experience optimization - New
See where you rank in AI shopping
Run a free check to see where your products surface when shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Shop — your rank, the other sellers on the same product, and who's undercutting you. On Growth, track the searches that matter and watch your rank move over time.
How to see your AI rank - New
Catalog readiness score
A new score on your checklist shows how your products will fare inside Shopify's Global Catalog — product taxonomy, category-vs-brand naming, variant clarity, and the data quality Shopify's AI reads — with the specific fixes that move it.
Catalog for AI-driven commerce - New
Multi-market readiness
AgentReady now detects when you sell in more than one market and shows exactly what AI agents read on each of your market URLs. On the Pro and Agent plans it also publishes each market's real prices, currency, and translations, which turns on with a one-time Shopify permission.
See multi-market - New
Pro AI for product images and content
A vision model now writes alt text by actually looking at each photo (colours, materials, on-model vs flat-lay) alongside Pro product descriptions and FAQ drafts. Every Pro run shows its credit cost before it happens, cached repeats are free, and failed runs refund automatically. Available on every plan, including free.
See the AI content tools - New
Subscriptions, readable by AI agents
Subscribe-and-save offers from Stay AI, Recharge, Skio, Loop, Appstle and every native-API subscription app now publish into your product structured data, llms.txt, and MCP endpoint, so when a shopper asks an assistant 'where can I get this monthly', your store has an answer on the record.
See subscriptions - New
Store locator & trust strip blocks
Two new theme blocks for Growth plans: a Find-us store locator with a live open-now line per location, and a trust strip whose shipping and returns claims come from your real policies and delivery profiles. The trust badge that can't lie. Both inherit your theme and render nothing when there's no data.
See the blocks - New
HowTo & Recipe blocks
Your guides and recipes now render as clean visible blocks from the same fields as their structured data. Author once, show shoppers the steps and tell search engines and AI agents the same thing. Joins the FAQ accordion and location blocks in the storefront block set.
How it works - New
Free Shopify AI-Readiness Checker
Paste any store URL and get an instant A–F grade on how readable it is to AI shopping agents, with the specific structured-data and crawlability fixes that move the score. No install required.
Run the checker - New
Agentic-commerce glossary
A plain-English reference for the terms behind AI shopping: agentic commerce, llms.txt, JSON-LD, GEO, MCP, and more. Each term is marked up as a Schema.org DefinedTerm so AI answers can cite the definitions directly.
Open the glossary - New
The complete guide to Shopify agentic commerce
A pillar guide covering how AI agents discover, read, and recommend Shopify products, and the exact schema and feed work that gets your store cited instead of skipped.
Read the guide - Improved
AI Concierge now reads your storefront
During discovery, the Concierge fetches your live storefront the way a bot would and pulls return-policy and shipping URLs plus social profiles straight from your footer, so it stops missing links that were obviously on the page.
- Improved
LocalBusiness schema on every plan, including Free
Physical-store schema (hours, geo, price range, and the right subtype such as Restaurant or Store) is no longer gated behind a paid tier. Every store that benefits from it gets it.
- Improved
Cleaner help-center URLs
Help articles moved from query-string URLs to clean paths like /portal/getting-started. Each article is now its own canonical page, which search engines and AI crawlers index far more reliably.
- Improved
Faster indexing with IndexNow
When new content publishes, we now notify IndexNow so Bing and partner engines recrawl within minutes instead of days. ChatGPT and Copilot lean on Bing's index, so this also speeds up AI-answer visibility.
- Improved
Refreshed design system across both sites
A single fluid type scale, consistent 4px button radius with playful hover motion, and a shared visual language across the marketing site and the app so the whole product reads as one brand.
