Preparing your store for shoppers to discover through AI comes down to a few key areas: keep your product data clean and current, write content that answers the questions shoppers actually ask, and set up connections so agents can find and buy your products.
AI can do so much more for sellers than just write product descriptions. Point the same assistant your customers use at your real store data, and it can view last week’s sales, create customer responses, and plan your next promotion – all with your voice. This not only allows customers to discover your store, but also gives you the actual freedom to run it.
Choose the AI tool you want to use: Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. You’ll program it with your data so you can set it up to perform tasks for you.
We’ve created a prompt package that you can use to set up four workflows. Each package includes a README with instructions, as well as a ready-made overview and sample prompts, so you’re not starting from a blank page. They also have a click-by-click installation guide for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, plus sample data so you can test it before using your real numbers.
For now, the connection is manual: you export the data and paste it into the AI chat. It’s a good starting point to see what the AI can do for you. But your developer can also set up a direct connection to your store via WooCommerce MCP if you decide to go that route.

Start with context about your store
Open the AI of your choice, create a project or start a chat, then personalize this template and paste it into the instruction field to set the context and tone for your assistant.
You are an assistant for (store name), a (vertical) store on WooCommerce.
What we sell: (one or two sentences)
Target customer: (who buys, and why)
Brand voice: (e.g. "warm and direct, no jargon")
When I give you data, work from it. If a number isn't in what I've given you, say so rather than estimating.Next to it, upload three or four files containing your products, returns policy, and two things you wrote that are similar to you.
Then create these workflows
Here is the link to our ready-made package workflow prompts. Choose one, feed it into your chosen AI, let it run, and add the next one when you’re done.
All four packages include complete instructions for each workflow; installation guides for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini; and sample data to test if it works.
1. The weekly store review
Every week, provide your assistant with the store details for the previous week. Then, each week, ask for a short, ranked list of:
- What needs to be supplemented
- What to discount
- What reviews need to be answered
- What’s slipping
It can turn half an hour of scanning dashboards into a quick five-minute flight. This process can also reveal trends or issues that you may have overlooked.
What information should you provide: The last 7 days of orders, footfall, reviews and current stock levels.
Review my WooCommerce store's last seven days using the attached order export, traffic report, reviews, and current stock levels. Give me: (1) the 3 SKUs closest to selling out, (2) the 3 slowest movers worth discounting, (3) any unanswered 1- or 2-star review from this week, and (4) one trend I'd likely miss by skimming a dashboard. One page, ranked.2. The content builder
While you can write your own AI-optimized product descriptions, you can also delegate that task to your new AI assistant. This workflow can set up FAQ blocks, buying guides, and category copy, allowing AI to easily discover your store while making it easy to read for human buyers. The same assistant can then control how your store appears when a customer’s search is performed.
What information should you provide: A product export, or just paste the details of one product.
Write an FAQ block for (product name) that answers the five questions shoppers actually ask before buying. Use plain language, and keep it under 40 words per answer, with no marketing filler. Then run the search query a shopper would type to find this product, and tell me whether my page would answer it.3. Communication with customers
With a few writing samples—such as links to brand social posts, website copy, blogs, and other marketing materials—this workflow will craft responses to reviews, support questions, and post-purchase follow-ups. You approve the draft and send it. This way, you maintain your brand’s unique voice while taking the burden off the actual typing.
What information should you provide: This week’s reviews and support messages, your shipping and returns policies, and two or three things you wrote yourself to match your voice.
Draft a reply to each one. Match the tone to the situation, reference our actual shipping and returns policy, and keep each under 80 words. Flag any I should handle personally rather than send as drafted.4. Campaign and promo planning
This workflow is based on your order history and product catalog, plus what you know about who buys your products. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to upload formal personas or market research. Order history shows which products are sold together, who returns and when your slow months arrive. Past email campaigns show what people actually opened and clicked, and what they ignored. Reviews tell you, in customers’ own words, why they chose you over someone else. Surrender all that context and ask this workflow for a seasonal calendar, promo drafts, and email drafts. This is especially useful if your marketing team is short-staffed and you need a quick first release.
What information should you provide: Your orders from the last 6 to 12 months and your product catalogue, plus previous email results if you have them.
Build a promo calendar for the next quarter. Give me: (1) three promo concepts built on products that already sell together, (2) the two quietest weeks worth filling, and (3) a subject line and opening paragraph for each campaign email.Get the full set of workflow packages.
Give these workflows a try and make it a habit to do them weekly. That way, you can now get real ROI from AI, with the tools you have at your disposal.
These 4 workflows are just the beginning of what AI can do for you. If you have Claude, you can take it one step further by connecting your assistant directly to your store via WooCommerce MCP. You can also try our pre-release plugin with 18 pre-built WooCommerce workflows. Run these in Claude using simple slash commands, and they’ll use your store’s live data to monitor your store’s health, view top revenue channels, generate better product descriptions, and more.
