The AI shelf

What happens between a shopper's question and the sale

Scroll through one shopping question, the way 7BE sees it.

01 / 05

A shopper asks an assistant

More shoppers now start in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Mode instead of a search box or a marketplace. They ask in plain words, with a budget and a reason.

02 / 05

AI puts a few products on the shelf

The answer names three to five products. Your catalog may already be in the assistant's index, but only a few products make the shelf. Here, your set comes fourth.

03 / 05

Someone else takes your spot

7BE asks the questions your shoppers ask, in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, and maps who gets recommended, how often and how high. One competitor is named in almost half the answers.

04 / 05

And the sale goes with them

Every answer links somewhere to buy. 7BE shows where the assistants send the buyer: a marketplace, a competitor's store, or you.

05 / 05

7BE shows what to fix first

The reasons behind the answers become a short list of changes in your store: descriptions, specs, reviews, structured data and the sources AI trusts. Then we measure again every week.

Why now

Your catalog is already in AI. So is everyone else's.

Shopify now hands store catalogs to the AI assistants by default. Being in the catalog is the starting line. The answer still names only a few products.

FAQ

Questions stores ask

Is the scan really free?

Yes. No signup, no card, nothing to install. You get a public link with the answers, the brands recommended instead of you and an AI-readiness check. The app is where you track and fix it every week.

Which platforms do you support?

The free scan reads most online stores with a public catalog: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Wix and custom-built shops. Weekly tracking runs in the 7BE app on Shopify and WooCommerce, in early access, and in your 7BE cabinet for stores on any other platform.

Shopify already sends my products to ChatGPT. Why do I need this?

Being in the catalog is not the same as being recommended. Every competitor is in the catalog too, and an answer names only a few products. 7BE shows which ones the assistants pick, why, and what to change.

Which assistants do you check?

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode on every plan. Growth adds Gemini and Claude; Pro also adds Google AI Overviews.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my products?

No one can. We show where you stand, what the assistants rely on, and measure every week whether your changes moved the answers.

What do you read from my store?

The free scan reads only public pages: your product catalog, product pages, policies and robots.txt, like a shopper or a search engine would. No customer or order data.
