Inside every lesson

Pages you work, not slides you skim.

Each lesson is a short deck of activity-book pages. You predict before you are told, do the task in your own store, and keep the notes. Built to be done, not skimmed.

Predict, then reveal

Commit a guess before the lesson gives you the answer, so it actually sticks.

Hands-on labs

Tick off real tasks in your own store, one at a time, with your progress saved.

Write-in workbook

Jot your answers straight into the page. They save on your device, yours to keep.

No walls of text

Flip-cards, compare panels and deep-dives instead of dense paragraphs to wade through.

Before you ask

Questions, answered.

Sidekick is the AI commerce assistant built into the Shopify admin. Click the purple glasses icon from any admin page and ask for what you need in everyday language: product descriptions, discounts, customer segments, reports, store design help, even custom apps. It is included with your Shopify plan, with features and usage limits varying by plan.

Seven modules: getting set up and your first tasks, store ops (products, collections, bulk edits, discounts, inventory alerts), content and design (copy, blog posts, image upgrades, store design), customers and marketing (segments, email campaigns, social posts), analytics (plain-language reports and ShopifyQL), skills and app generation, and a capstone where you run a full week of store operations through Sidekick.

No. Sidekick is included with Shopify plans, though features and usage limits vary by plan. Every exercise in the course works from the standard admin, on desktop or the mobile app, and Sidekick respects your staff permissions.

The AI Academy path teaches general-purpose AI (Claude and Google AI) you point at any work. This specialty course goes deep on one tool: the assistant already sitting inside your Shopify admin. Take it if your day happens inside Shopify; the two combine well because Sidekick knows your store and Claude handles everything around it.

Saved prompts you can reuse with custom shortcuts. Instead of retyping or trying to remember how you phrased a successful request, you save your best prompts as skills and rerun them with a single command. Module six builds your library, and the capstone puts it to work for a week.

$99 one-off, AUD, including all seven modules and every future update. Checkout opens shortly: the founding waitlist is free, locks the founding intake price, and module one is free to read right now.
