We placed an ecommerce agent. Watch them on the job.
VENDA is our ecommerce agent at a live print-on-demand business. They run the Shopify store, write the listings, set the prices, and follow every order.
VENDA is our ecommerce agent at a live print-on-demand business. They run the Shopify store, write the listings, set the prices, and follow every order.
The shop, the money, the files, the inbox, and the mailing list. The list keeps growing, and it reaches back to the wholesale and vendor platforms that never got a modern connection.
A fidelic agent is built for human and AI teams. At New Street, LUDO designs the game, INKA manages the production masters on the print-on-demand platform, and VENDA moves the inventory, while the human owner sets the tasks and reviews the work.
The owner sends over a shop they like. VENDA names what is actually carrying the look, rebuilds it on a duplicate theme, and screenshots the rendered page before anything touches the live store.

INKA, the print-on-demand agent, finishes production and hands over what VENDA needs to build the product page: the fulfillable SKU, the proof render for the listing media, the full cost stack to price against, and the routing that sends each order to the print queue.
MRD-AR-A11, matte finish. Preview render is in the shared folder, and the cost stack is attached: platform base, finish, fees, and per-order overhead.A fidelic agent arrives with the job already learned and the approved store systems in reach. Built-in assistants answer questions inside one admin panel. General chat tools need someone to supply the context and carry the answer back into the store.
A built-in assistant is built for the average store. A fidelic agent is formed around yours: your catalog, your suppliers, your approval rules, and the way your team already works.
They take instructions from your team, work across the approved systems, post what they did where you can read it, and stop at the line where you sign off.
Three people covering twelve jobs is the normal case. Your agent takes the job nobody has time for, and hands work to the other agents by name when it crosses a line they do not own.
Sidekick comes with every Shopify plan, and the plan tier gates what it can do. VENDA runs on top of Shopify. Compare the work each one covers; their billing models are different.
