It helps to break it into three categories, because they work differently and serve different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generative AI<\/strong> creates content from a prompt. Think product descriptions, email subject lines, ad copy, customer support replies. Tools like Shopify Magic and ChatGPT fall here. This is the most visible category \u2014 it&#8217;s what most merchants encounter first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Predictive AI<\/strong> uses historical data to forecast future outcomes. Demand forecasting, customer churn modeling, personalized product recommendations \u2014 these are all predictive. Amazon&#8217;s recommendation engine, which drives an estimated 35% of the company&#8217;s annual sales, is the most famous example of this category in ecommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agentic AI<\/strong> is the newest and most operationally powerful category. Rather than generating content or producing a forecast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/understanding-agentic-ai\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"12617\">agentic AI<\/a> takes action. It monitors conditions, makes decisions, and executes multi-step workflows \u2014 often without any human involvement. According to IBM, agentic AI systems can &#8220;reason, plan and act across multiple systems and AI platforms,&#8221; distinguishing them from simpler rule-based bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Shopify merchants, all three matter. But agentic AI is where the biggest operational leverage lives, because it&#8217;s the only category that actually does work on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ai-tools-shopify-merchants-already-have-access-to\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-AI-tools-Shopify-merchants-already-have-access-to\"><\/span>The AI tools Shopify merchants already have access to<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding anything new to your stack, it&#8217;s worth understanding what you may already be sitting on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shopify-sidekick\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shopify-Sidekick\"><\/span>Shopify Sidekick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/shopify-sidekick\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"14305\">Sidekick<\/a> is Shopify&#8217;s built-in AI assistant, available to all merchants as part of their plan. Powered by Shopify Magic, it lives inside your admin and can generate content, build reports, suggest marketing campaigns, and \u2014 since Shopify&#8217;s Winter &#8217;26 update \u2014 proactively surface insights about your store without being asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sidekick is genuinely useful for in-admin tasks. It knows your store data, understands Shopify workflows, and can take action (with your approval) across products, discounts, and settings. The Winter &#8217;26 update also let merchants describe a workflow in plain language and have Sidekick build the corresponding Shopify Flow automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where Sidekick hits its limits:<\/strong> Its knowledge and actions are bounded by what&#8217;s inside your Shopify admin. It can&#8217;t connect to your helpdesk, your 3PL, your email platform, or your spreadsheets. If a task involves more than one tool, Sidekick can&#8217;t complete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopify-sidekick-write-product-description-1024x583.png\" alt=\"Shopify Sidekick chat interface inside admin\" class=\"wp-image-18370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopify-sidekick-write-product-description-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopify-sidekick-write-product-description-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopify-sidekick-write-product-description-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopify-sidekick-write-product-description-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shopify-sidekick-write-product-description-2048x1166.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shopify Sidekick chat interface inside admin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-klaviyo-ai\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Klaviyo-AI\"><\/span>Klaviyo AI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaviyo&#8217;s built-in AI features include predictive send times, subject line suggestions, and churn prediction modeling based on customer purchase history. If you&#8217;re already on Klaviyo, these features are available and worth using. They&#8217;re limited to email and SMS, but within that lane, they&#8217;re well-developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gorgias\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gorgias\"><\/span>Gorgias<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gorgias uses AI to auto-respond to common customer support tickets, tag conversations, and route issues. It handles volume well and reduces response time on routine inquiries. It&#8217;s scoped to your helpdesk \u2014 it doesn&#8217;t connect back to your Shopify store or other tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chatgpt-and-other-general-purpose-ai\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ChatGPT-and-other-general-purpose-AI\"><\/span>ChatGPT and other general-purpose AI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are useful for copywriting, brainstorming, SOPs, and content. Their limitation in an ecommerce context is that they have no access to your store data. You can describe your situation, but they can&#8217;t see your orders, customers, or inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-gap-none-of-these-tools-fill\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-gap-none-of-these-tools-fill\"><\/span>The gap none of these tools fill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the problem: every tool above is excellent within its own domain. Sidekick handles your Shopify admin. Klaviyo handles email. Gorgias handles support. ChatGPT handles copywriting. But your store&#8217;s actual operations don&#8217;t happen in one tool \u2014 they happen across all of them simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When an order comes in, data flows between Shopify, your 3PL, your email platform, your support desk, and possibly a spreadsheet someone on your team is maintaining. When any of those tools doesn&#8217;t automatically talk to another, someone fills the gap manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s exactly what automation platforms like MESA are built to solve \u2014 and where Yedric, MESA&#8217;s AI assistant, takes it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-tool-ecosystem-1024x652.png\" alt=\"a visual showing Shopify at center, connected by arrows to Klaviyo, Gorgias, Google Sheets, Slack, ShipStation, and a 3PL, with MESA as the connective layer\" class=\"wp-image-18375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-tool-ecosystem-1024x652.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-tool-ecosystem-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-tool-ecosystem-768x489.png 768w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-tool-ecosystem-1536x977.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-tool-ecosystem.png 1760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ecommerce tool ecosystem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-mesa-and-yedric-do\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-MESA-and-Yedric-do\"><\/span>What MESA and Yedric do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MESA is a Shopify automation platform that connects your store to the other tools in your stack \u2014 over 100 integrations including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/apps\/shopify\/integrate\/google-sheets\">Google Sheets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/apps\/shopify\/integrate\/slack\">Slack<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/apps\/shopify\/integrate\/klaviyo\">Klaviyo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/apps\/shopify\/integrate\/shipstation\">ShipStation<\/a>, and more. Workflows in MESA run automatically based on triggers you define: a new order, a tag being applied, inventory hitting a threshold, a customer placing their third purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/yedric\">Yedric<\/a> is MESA&#8217;s AI assistant. Instead of configuring a workflow step by step, you describe what you want to accomplish in plain language, and Yedric interprets your intent and builds the workflow for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example: <em>&#8220;When a customer places their second order, send them a Slack notification to our fulfillment team and tag the order as &#8216;repeat buyer&#8217; in Shopify.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yedric reads that, identifies the trigger (second order), the conditions, and the two resulting actions, and assembles the workflow \u2014 no manual step configuration required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What separates this from Shopify Sidekick&#8217;s workflow-building feature is scope. Sidekick builds Shopify Flow automations, which are native to the Shopify admin. MESA workflows connect Shopify to external apps, apply AI logic mid-workflow (like analyzing order content or classifying customer behavior), and can execute actions across your entire stack in a single automated sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-building-workflows-1024x605.png\" alt=\"Yedric chat interface showing a plain-language workflow request being interpreted\" class=\"wp-image-18372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-building-workflows-1024x605.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-building-workflows-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-building-workflows-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-building-workflows.png 1514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yedric chat interface showing a plain-language workflow request being interpreted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-built-workflow-1024x605.png\" alt=\"A completed MESA workflow with multiple steps visible in the workflow builder\" class=\"wp-image-18373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-built-workflow-1024x605.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-built-workflow-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-built-workflow-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yedric-built-workflow.png 1514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A completed MESA workflow with multiple steps visible in the workflow builder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-shopify-merchants-are-using-ai-automation-right-now\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-Shopify-merchants-are-using-AI-automation-right-now\"><\/span>How Shopify merchants are using AI automation right now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following use cases are drawn from real workflow patterns among MESA merchants.

id=\"How-Yedric-is-different-from-other-AI-assistants\"><\/span>How Yedric is different from other AI assistants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few things distinguish Yedric from other AI tools merchants might already be using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It understands ecommerce context.<\/strong> Yedric is trained on Shopify data structures, ecommerce workflows, and MESA&#8217;s integration library. When you describe a goal, it doesn&#8217;t need you to explain what an order tag is or how Klaviyo lists work \u2014 it already knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It executes, not just suggests.<\/strong> Most AI tools produce output you then have to act on. Yedric produces a working workflow. You can review and adjust it, but the default result is something that runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It works across your entire stack.<\/strong> Unlike Sidekick (Shopify-only) or a general-purpose AI assistant (no store access), Yedric operates across the full set of apps MESA integrates with. A workflow it builds can touch Shopify, Google Sheets, Slack, your email platform, and your 3PL in a single automated sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-started-a-practical-first-step\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-started-a-practical-first-step\"><\/span>How to get started: a practical first step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The merchants who see the most from AI automation usually start with one workflow, not a full operational overhaul. Here&#8217;s a simple framework for identifying yours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Find your highest-volume repetitive task.<\/strong> What does someone on your team do manually, every day or every week, because no tool does it automatically?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Check how many apps are involved.<\/strong> If the task lives entirely inside Shopify, Sidekick or Shopify Flow may be all you need. If it touches more than one app, you need an automation platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Start with a MESA template.<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/templates\">MESA template library<\/a> includes pre-built workflows for the most common Shopify automation tasks. Most can be installed and running in under ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Describe what you want to Yedric.<\/strong> If a template doesn&#8217;t cover your specific case, describe your goal in plain language. Yedric will build a custom workflow from your description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Measure the time saved, then expand.<\/strong> Once one workflow is running cleanly, you&#8217;ll have a clear view of where the next one should go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-template-library-sorted-by-category-1024x583.png\" alt=\"MESA template library filtered by category\" class=\"wp-image-18369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-template-library-sorted-by-category-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-template-library-sorted-by-category-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-template-library-sorted-by-category-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-template-library-sorted-by-category-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mesa-template-library-sorted-by-category-2048x1166.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MESA template library filtered by category<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-asked-questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823351835\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is AI for ecommerce?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">AI for ecommerce refers to artificial intelligence tools applied to automate, personalize, or optimize the operations of an online store. This includes generative AI for content creation, predictive AI for demand forecasting and recommendations, and agentic AI for automated workflow execution across multiple apps.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823367129\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What AI tools do Shopify merchants use?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The most commonly used AI tools among Shopify merchants are Shopify Sidekick (built into the admin), Klaviyo AI (email and SMS optimization), Gorgias (customer support automation), and general-purpose tools like ChatGPT for content. For cross-platform workflow automation, merchants use MESA with Yedric.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823379913\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is an AI ecommerce agent?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">An AI ecommerce agent is software that takes action on behalf of a merchant based on store conditions, without manual input. Unlike a chatbot that responds to questions, an agent monitors data, makes decisions, and executes tasks. Yedric, MESA&#8217;s AI assistant, is an example: it interprets a merchant&#8217;s goal and builds the automation workflow to accomplish it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823390095\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How is MESA different from Shopify Flow?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Shopify Flow automates tasks within the Shopify admin \u2014 tagging orders, sending emails through Shopify, creating discount codes. MESA connects Shopify to external apps (Google Sheets, Slack, Klaviyo, ShipStation, and 100+ others) and can apply AI logic mid-workflow. They&#8217;re complementary: Flow handles internal Shopify tasks; MESA handles the cross-platform work that Flow can&#8217;t reach. See our full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/vs\/shopify-flow\">MESA vs. Shopify Flow comparison<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823402055\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How is MESA different from Zapier or Make?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Zapier and Make are general-purpose automation platforms built for any industry. MESA is built specifically for Shopify merchants, which means it understands ecommerce data structures natively, and Yedric can interpret merchant intent without requiring technical configuration. For Shopify stores, that specificity translates to faster setup and fewer edge cases. See our full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/vs\/zapier\">MESA vs. Zapier comparison<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/vs\/make\">MESA vs. Make comparison<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823413988\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can small Shopify stores benefit from AI automation?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. MESA&#8217;s template library and Yedric are designed specifically for merchants without technical teams. Gartner estimates that fewer than 1% of ecommerce businesses use agentic AI today \u2014 but 33% are projected to by 2028. The merchants who build these capabilities early will have a significant operational advantage as that shift accelerates.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772823425148\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need to know how to code?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. MESA workflows are built visually, and Yedric lets you describe what you want in plain language. No code is required for the vast majority of automation use cases.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"card-next-steps\">\n\t<div class=\"card__content\">\n\t\t<h4>What to do next&#8230;<\/h4>\n<p>The fastest way to see automation working in your store is to start with a single workflow.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/pricing\"><strong>Try MESA free<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 start a 7-day free trial and get your first workflow running.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/templates\"><strong>Browse the template library<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 pre-built workflows for the most common Shopify automation tasks.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/yedric\"><strong>Talk to Yedric<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 describe what you want to automate, and let our AI assistant build it for you.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com\/support\"><strong>Get free workflow setup<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 MESA&#8217;s team will build your first workflow at no cost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t<\/div><!-- \/.card__content -->\n\n\t\n<div class=\"socials card__socials\">\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/getmesa\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/twitter-icon.svg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"icon: twitter\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@getmesa\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/youtube-icon.svg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"icon: youtube\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/9754608\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmesa.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/linkedin-icon.svg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"linkedin icon\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n<\/div><!-- \/.socials -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.card-next-steps -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, AI has touched nearly every corner of ecommerce.
