Shoppers increasingly ask an AI assistant what to buy instead of typing into a search box. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google's AI features answer with products they can find, understand and trust. Octolift shows you how ready each of your products is for that, in a score from 0 to 100, then helps you fix what holds it back. This is sometimes called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO); we just call it getting recommended.
Everything happens inside the Shopify admin. Nothing is written to your store until you approve a specific change.
One number per product, built from Listing quality (what you write) and Agent readiness (what the AI catalog returns).
Every check with its points, the evidence, and what would earn the missing points, with links into Shopify where a fix lives there.
The selling points, features, specs and attributes the catalog has extracted, with the gaps marked Not specified.
Shopper questions run as live searches per country: your rank in the top 10, the product that wins, and questions you choose to track.
A rewritten description, alternative titles, category and category field suggestions, each shown next to the current value and applied only when you save.
The orders AI assistants placed or referred, from Shopify's own analytics, for the store and per product.
Your catalogue with scores in five views (Needs work, Improved, Analyzed, Not analyzed, All), so the next product to work on is always at the top, plus each product's change history.
Your allowance, when it renews, and which language model writes your suggestions.
Any Shopify merchant who wants to be recommended when a shopper asks an assistant for a product like theirs: brands with a catalogue worth explaining, stores whose products have specs that assistants compare, and anyone who has noticed AI assistants in their sales channels and wants more of it. It works on every Shopify plan.
