Convertly is an AI growth team for Shopify brands. It runs your entire creator and ambassador program end to end — and you just approve. Every brand knows creators drive sales, but almost none can afford the headcount to run a real program. Convertly replaces that headcount with six AI agents. They discover and recruit creators from four sources — your own customers, social search across Instagram/TikTok/YouTube, an opt-in creator network, and your apply page — then run campaigns, manage content and UGC, give every creator a shoppable storefront, attribute every sale back to Shopify, and handle commissions and payouts. A human sets the intent and approves; the AI does the work. The moat isn't the model — that's commoditized. It's the closed loop: from an AI decision to real, attributed Shopify revenue, plus a trust layer that moves money safely and only raises autonomy where measured outcomes justify it. We're already live on production. The full loop — recruit a creator, attribute the sale, pay the commission, show the brand the revenue it created — runs today. Now we're onboarding our first Shopify brands and building the category. Stack: TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS, Prisma/PostgreSQL, and Claude, shipped as a public Shopify app. If you want to build an AI-native product that moves real money for real merchants — and help own a category while it's still early — let's talk.

We’re killing manual review workflows and replacing them with AI agents. Not just faster or cheaper. Fundamentally better. We’re already working with global brands where approvals used to take a week. Now, teams can launch in under an hour, without adding headcount. Our mission is to kill the review. Free people to do meaningful work.
