They discuss the suite of AI-enabled tools called Shopify Magic, which includes product description generation, image creation, and blog content writing, and how these tools benefit new merchants by providing a seamless and integrated experience.

In this episode, we hear the backstory technical details about this work from Shopify’s Russ Maschmeyer. Along the way we discuss how to come up with clever AI solutions (without training your own model).
