Merchants shouldn’t have to think in terms of platforms. They should think in terms of results.
That’s the shift that AI is driving across commerce. Teams are moving away from workflows where switching between tools is the norm, and toward fully integrated technology that meets you where you already are, providing solutions the moment you need them.
Shopify Sidekick — an AI-powered conversational assistant built directly into the Shopify Admin — is pushing this new standard forward. Merchants can manage, optimize, and build their online stores simply by chatting with Sidekick, asking plain-language questions and getting clear answers without ever leaving the platform.
And now, thanks to Bloomreach and Shopify’s partnership, Loomi’s search capabilities are part of the conversation. Sidekick brings Loomi’s search and merchandising intelligence directly into the Shopify workflow, where merchants need it most.
Stay in Shopify and Get Loomi Search Intelligence
Our new Sidekick extension inside the Loomi AI for Shopify app gives merchants instant access to search logic — including boosts, rules, relevance, and performance signals — to understand product rankings without ever leaving the Shopify Admin.
Just prompt Sidekick with the question you’re trying to solve, and Loomi provides the insights and answers you need, including:
- Active boosts — attribute boosts, product boosts, and the strength at which they’re applied
- Active merchandising rules — which rules are in effect and how they’re shaping results
- Relevance weighting and performance signals — how Loomi is influencing product rankings
- Redirects, spelling corrections, and synonyms — the full picture of what’s shaping what a shopper sees
No need to switch platforms or get back-end access. Merchants can simply chat with Sidekick, get Loomi-powered insights, and focus on the results.
Insights That Work the Way Merchants Do
Conversational Ranking Diagnostics
Understanding why a product ranks where it does can be a meticulous process. Digging through rule configurations in a separate platform takes time that most merchants can’t spare.
With the Loomi AI for Shopify app extension, ranking diagnostics can happen instantly in a Sidekick conversation. Just ask, get the answer, and act on it — all without breaking focus or leaving the Shopify Admin.
In-Workflow Insights
The best insights are timely, contextualized, and right where you need them.
With Sidekick and Loomi integrated, search intelligence can meet merchants inside the workflow they’re already in — whether they’re building collection pages, adapting to shopping trends, or responding to seasonal demand. No platform switching, no lost context, and no interruptions.
Faster Implementation
For new merchants, setting up and validating storefront behavior has traditionally meant undergoing a back-and-forth with support or trying to get back-end access.
Now, you can use Sidekick to check that rules and boosts are being applied correctly, confirm that Loomi is shaping results as expected, and validate your setup — all before going live, and without leaving the Shopify Admin.
The Partnership Powering Modern Commerce
Bringing Loomi’s search intelligence directly into the Shopify workflow is more than a new feature. It’s what an AI-powered commerce experience looks like in practice — and what the Bloomreach and Shopify partnership is built to deliver.
