Great guide on building an AI Shopify app! The step-by-step approach with Remix and the Shopify CLI is exactly the right way to get started.

I've been building Shopify apps for a while now and can vouch for how much the tooling has improved. Here are four apps I've shipped to the App Store — maybe useful as reference points for the types of problems worth solving:

  • Prefetch (apps.shopify.com/prefetch): preloads pages on link hover for faster navigation
  • Eye Catching (apps.shopify.com/beautiful-brands): standardizes product image backgrounds and adds overlays/badges
  • Better Related Blog Posts (apps.shopify.com/better-related-blog-posts): adds related posts to Shopify blog articles
  • WP Simple WordPress Feed (apps.shopify.com/simple-wordpress-post-feed): syncs a WordPress RSS feed into a Shopify store

(Disclaimer: I'm the developer of all four.) The AI angle you're exploring here opens up a lot of interesting product ideas — product recommendation improvements, auto-generated alt text for images, etc. Good luck with the build!
