Using AI to grow your online store
By Ken Murithi · 18 October 2025
AI is easy to overhype. Used well, it quietly removes repetitive work so a small team can run a bigger store. Here is where it actually helps.
Product content at scale
Writing hundreds of product descriptions by hand is slow. AI can draft consistent, on-brand copy from your product details in minutes, which you then review and refine. It turns days of work into hours.
Handling enquiries
A well-set-up assistant can answer common questions instantly, day and night, and pass the tricky ones to a human. Customers get faster replies and your team spends less time repeating the same answers.
Where to be careful
AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgement. Review what it produces, keep a human in the loop for anything customer-facing that matters, and use it to speed up good work, not to cut corners.
