The AI built and runs his pet store. In the first weeks it got 341 visits and zero orders.

Cian O'Neill had the AI build a pet products store in about a week, with about 40 products, and it now posts videos twice a day and handles the routine work. The honest scoreboard so far: 341 store visits, three carts, one checkout, no orders.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI set up about 40 products with photos, copy and size charts, the AI priced everything at about 2.5 times landed cost and built 128 shipping rates for six markets, the AI set up six email automations, including welcome and abandoned cart, Twice a day the system makes and posts a short video with generated music on Instagram and TikTok, the AI comments on other pet accounts about 20 times a day and sends six creator permission requests a week, He reviews every clip and post once a day and marks each one approved, needs work or rejected, A Monday review turns the week's numbers into decisions

Why it’s worth knowing

The whole shop runs on about ten minutes of his time a day, and he published the number most people hide: zero orders.
