What the AI does

Chat assistant grounded in your data

Ask the assistant what to reorder, why a SKU spiked, what to exclude from tracking, or what's at risk this week. Answers are streamed in plain English and grounded in your actual Shopify data - not generic advice.

One-click health check across your whole shop

Scans 5 dimensions of your shop - data quality, catalog quality, tracking config, forecasting health, and alert health - and surfaces 25 specific findings with severity ratings and one-click fix links.

Explain any metric, on demand

Click 'Explain' on any number in the app - days of supply, velocity, ABC class, reorder point, projected stockout - and get a plain-English explanation grounded in your shop's data. No more guessing what a metric means or why it's that value.

Anomaly detection with hypotheses

When something unusual happens in your shop - a sales spike, sudden velocity drop, a SKU going out of stock unexpectedly - Stockful surfaces it on the anomalies page with a one-sentence likely cause. Subscribe to anomaly Slack alerts on your schedule.

Smart setup wizard for new shops

New shops don't start with an empty form. Stockful's AI analyses your catalog and proposes exclusion rules, low-stock thresholds, and tracking config tailored to your business - so you can get to first useful insights in under five minutes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI a separate plan or add-on?
No add-on. Every Stockful plan ($19.99 Starter / $39.99 Growth / $79.99 Pro per month) includes the full AI feature set - assistant, health check, explain, anomaly detection, smart setup wizard. What scales with the plan is the per-billing-cycle usage allowance: 100 merchant-initiated AI interactions on Starter, 500 on Growth, 1,000 on Pro. The allowance resets each Shopify billing cycle.
What can I ask the AI assistant?
Anything about your inventory. Common questions: 'What should I reorder this week?', 'Why did SKU X spike?', 'What's at risk this week?', 'What should I exclude from tracking?', 'Show me my slowest-moving A items'. The assistant is grounded in your actual shop data so answers reference real variants, locations, and metrics.
How does the health check work?
Click one button in /settings/health-check and Stockful scans your shop across 5 dimensions: data quality, catalog quality, tracking config, forecasting health, and alert health. It surfaces 25 specific findings with critical, warning, or info severity - each with a one-click fix link to the exact setting that needs attention.
How is the 'Explain' button different from a tooltip?
Tooltips define what a metric is. Explain tells you why this metric is this value in your shop. It uses your actual data - the sales, velocity, lead times, and stockouts behind the number - to give you a plain-English explanation specific to the SKU and location you're looking at.
Do I have to use any of the AI features?
No. There's a master AI toggle in settings. With it off, the assistant, health check, explain, and anomalies are all disabled. The opt-in subscriptions for weekly summaries and anomaly Slack alerts are off by default even when AI is on.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. When you use an AI feature, relevant shop context is sent to our model provider for inference only. It is not used for model training. No data leaves your shop until you actually invoke an AI feature. See our privacy policy for full detail.
What about anomaly detection - does it spam me with alerts?
No. Anomaly Slack alerts are opt-in and you choose the day and time they fire in your local timezone. Anomalies appear on your /anomalies page whether or not you've subscribed to alerts - so you can review them at your own pace.
How much do AI features cost on top of my plan?
Nothing on top. The full AI feature set is included on every plan. Each plan includes a per-billing-cycle allowance of merchant-initiated AI interactions (chat turns and Explain clicks): 100 on Starter, 500 on Growth, 1,000 on Pro. Background AI work doesn't count. Hit 80% of your allowance and Stockful surfaces an upgrade nudge; hit 100% and AI chat pauses until the next cycle while everything else in Stockful keeps working.
What happens if I hit my AI usage allowance?
If you reach 80% of your plan's allowance, Stockful shows an in-app banner suggesting you upgrade. If you reach 100%, AI chat and on-demand Explain pause until your next Shopify billing cycle starts. Everything else in Stockful - daily snapshots, reports, alerts, Flow triggers, forecasting, anomaly detection display - keeps working. Background AI work (the weekly digest, anomaly hypotheses, smart setup) is on us and continues regardless.
