Shopify AI automation is not one tool
Sidekick, Shopify Flow, custom apps, Functions, APIs and human review each solve different parts of an operational problem. Treating Sidekick or Flow as the entire automation architecture creates avoidable gaps.
Sidekick
Best suited to conversational, human-initiated analysis and supported admin actions.
Shopify Flow
Best suited to repeatable event-driven workflows with clear triggers, conditions and actions.
Custom apps, Functions and integrations
Useful when the requirement needs deeper logic, external systems, stronger guarantees or a custom interface.
Human review
Important where judgment, approval, governance or business accountability matters.
CAT orchestrates the layers
Codified Algorithmic Thinking™ means Define → Decompose → Orchestrate → Execute → Validate → Learn. Within a purchased Automation, CAT AI determines the next useful action and suitable execution layer from the customer's business goal and available evidence. It runs and validates that action with expert oversight where needed.
How Codified Commerce delivers implementation
We no longer sell “CAT Algorithms” or a Sidekick managed service as standalone packages. Buy one CAT AI Automation at your selected speed, starting at ₹10,000 for Boost, paid in full, and share your business goal and required access. CAT AI selects, runs and closes the next useful action with Codified Commerce expert management. Monthly and weekly options provide one Automation per billing cycle.
