The AI bought my running shoes in the chat with Shop Pay

Martin Cox set up Shopify's shop.md in an AI app and told it the running shoe model he normally wears. The AI found the exact pair in his size on sale from the brand, built the cart and checked out with Shop Pay, all inside the chat.

How it works

  1. Set up shop.md in an AI app (2FA by email and phone)
  2. First vague ask returns random models
  3. He names the model he normally wears
  4. The AI finds the exact pair in his size on sale
  5. He fills in the Shop Pay form
  6. Order tracked in the Shop app

Why it’s worth knowing

The whole buy happened in the chat. No store website, no cart page of his own to fill in.
