Companion
Companion is an AI-powered weekly reporting tool designed exclusively for Shopify store owners. It connects to a store via a read-only OAuth process and automatically analyzes sales, orders, products, and customer data. Every Monday morning, it sends a concise, plain English email briefing that summarizes the past week's performance, highlights key drivers, and provides one specific, actionable recommendation. The service eliminates the need for store owners to manually navigate complex Shopify analytics dashboards. Instead, it translates raw data into a narrative: what happened, why it happened, and what to do next. The briefing includes metrics like revenue, order count, average order value, top products, abandoned carts, and a weekly performance score. Companion is built with privacy in mind—only necessary read-only data is accessed, and metrics are sent to an LLM for summary generation without being retained. It offers a 14-day free trial and a simple monthly subscription, making it accessible for solo entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to make data-driven decisions without dedicating time to analytics.
