Lighting isn't an issue in our warehouse but we have labels in small text and I would like the cameras to record the text and images around it for analytical purposes. I am wondering what is the best cameras that can see as good as iPhone cameras? Because I am about to build my own stack using Nikon lens and raspberri pi
I am wondering if you had been in Korea before as a one time trip, what are some of the products that you wish you buy a lot to bring back to the States as it's hard to find them around here (or super expensive).
I am in Seoul for a week. Mostly with family but I also have open questions on what I should bring back! Any thought?
We have only one Shopify store but also have reviews from Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Wayfair...
Judge.me can import some.
But I am wondering if Reviews.io is better and in what sense? We don't have physical store.
I am open to either option. My only issue is judge.me did not help drive reviews although we are on Awesome plan!
I have this specific use case that I rather not build and just use from some existing open source out there.
Basically we are a business and we get lots of customer messages via text. They are all in iMessages. Over the years, there are specific ways we answer support questions based on current data and policy.
I would love to see if there is an easy way to train an AI agent and impersonate the phone to answer automatically moving forward. For example: we have policy if a product has metadata X, then no return policy applied. So there must be a way to suck all threads and prioritize by time and group into topics and policies or exceptions.
Anything like that?
For the light of me, I can figure out this.
I can see keywords and visiting count.
I can see conversion to revenue in GA4.
I can see specific customer purchases in Shopify itself.
But I cannot figure out how to stitch the whole thing together:
A user searched "abc" -> go to page A -> checkout product B -> completed purchase $X -> signed up as user C.
How to do this?! Sure call me stupid.
Etsy does not have any integration to allow 3rd party or vendor to access Etsy Messages separately. There is no way to access their API either. We do get Messages several times a day and sometime it takes time to respond (45-60 min / day).
We have to work around using AI to extract the entire convo and link with the orders if exist. For new customer, the AI can quickly draft response. Otherwise our Virtual assistant would have a separate portal access to read and reply, once the replies are sent, it goes into Etsy Messages just like on Etsy.com.
It works great for us because we definitely don't want to give entire account access to someone oversea.
Happy to answer any question !
Internally we have a process to create content and some can be massaged to become ebook or Guide in pdf format.
I have seen several B2B marketing tactics asking for email in order to download the PDF (Facebook, LinkedIn).
Does it work? If you tried, curious what is your experience to optimize.
Recently I have been helping my family to bring the Shopify store up to speed with various products in different channels like Wayfair, Amazon, Ebay, Etsy... and make sure the main store in Shopify has all products.
So I built a skill that can extract images, remove background and massage the title + description for SEO then post on Shopify. Something like this:
/[xyz]2shopify [link]
or
postshopify using attached image and try to describe it
And it just goes. It has my shopify cli connection string and shopify skills behind the scene.
This kind of work would take me weeks to do. Now it's literally few minutes. It was awesome!
One caveat is that for image editing, I cannot trust any model beside Gemini or OpenAI so I have a $20 OpenAI subscription and just use its gpt-image-2 model instead.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Just to be fair, I support my wife on her business and lots of employees are very valuable. We need human to do work that machine cannot ever automate (e.g. run to the store, buy decor, arrange on tables).
I am talking about firing remote and office people that we could just replace with OpenClaw.
Here is what I did:
Email: Before we have staffs and a remote customer service (in Pakistan) to check email and reply daily. The hard part is the employee has to look up our system for product pricing, orders, inventory, etc.. Now OpenClaw can do all of that with CLI and MCP. The tricky part is to "dry run" in parallel for months before I feel comfortable to make the cut. Saved $300/mo.
Accounting: Sorry Quickbooks but I tested Quickbooks MCP and it works great. Now I got the transaction categorized by a skill automatically. Funny part is I still use Quickbooks but just at the end of the year to import all at once for like a month fee so we can file our taxes. Saved $500/mo on Bookkeeper.
Creative ads: I used gpt-image-2. That's it. Got rid of Magnific. Saved tiny $200/year but now I can schedule with cron job so that is 15min/day saved.
Internal communication: We used iMessages to chat between the staffs. Waste of time back and forth. I got BlueBubbles to work. Now ask the bot and it answers: when was the delivery for our supply? etc.. Saved probably 1-2 hour per day for staffing so it could be significant in term of "distraction avoidance"
Would love to hear what you were able to shave off in real life! I am not playing around with OpenClaw. These are being used to solve daily operation pain point for myself.
The work is done by me for a client:
I would like to get some critique on the homepage, menu, collection page and product page.
Anything obvious?!
I had great success setting up my OpenClaw to handle Inbox, Email and iMessage to get order information, both internal employees and from customers. I have OpenClaw to connect to Google Chrome Devtool so it has access to the admin side where Shopify cli is not available.
From a development and product management perspective, I use claude with Shopify skills and authenticate Shopify cli to the store. It can do just about anything via iMessage (thru OpenClaw gateway). One cool example is I can take picture using my iPhone and send the text to OpenClaw, it would read the image and post the product for me with everything filled out. I can also mass update products just via text.
To be honest, AI makes managing Shopify way less tedious than it used to be. Hope to hear your side of the story.
I am not sure if folks saw the email from Heidi about "Update on AI Community Listening Sessions". I have lots of friends who got lay off from Amazon and Microsoft recently. The Eastside real estate market is taking a huge hit.
But our small family business is doing great leveraging AI for automation lots of tasks that we have to do ourselves (things that we can't easily outsource due to its sensitivity like partner email, purchase approval, research). Me and couple of friends will do a small meetup 5-6 people in Downtown Bellevue Library around mid or late June. I am a supporter of using AI for the right things, just to be honest!
Let me know if there is any outside interest and I can share. Otherwise, it will be just a few of us. Totally open agenda and I will share what is working out for us.
