Run your shop in plain English.
Four ways in, the same data. Pick the AI you already use — Etchify becomes a plain-language interface for your products, templates, materials and setup.
For example
Ask your store instead of clicking through the admin.
For example, in the morning you ask ChatGPT: “Which designs are queued for production today?” Etchify replies with a table.
Four ways in, the same data
Etchify exposes the same data through four routes. Whichever AI tool you already use, there's a way to connect.

Questions about AI Integration
On every plan you get all 36 tools: 15 read, 21 write. The 15 read tools let AI browse your products, templates, materials, orders and settings; the 21 write tools change your setup. Your AI changes the setup directly — products already on sale wait for your approval. Business and trial have a 10x API rate (600 instead of 60 req/min).
AI Integration is included on every plan — Starter ($9), Pro ($39), Business ($99) — and in the 14-day trial.
All four frontends use the same data. Claude.ai connects fastest (custom connector). ChatGPT requires a Plus account to build the Custom GPT. Claude Desktop is for anyone who wants the AI right in their workflow on the desktop. Your own software via REST works on every plan.
Starter and Pro are capped at 60 requests/minute, Business and trial at 600/minute. For human-driven AI conversation that's plenty — a chat exchange typically uses 1-3 requests. The limit only matters for scripted or webhook-triggered bulk operations.
