Working with the team on the new Shopify Analytics and Sidekick has been such a fun journey.

Real-time ShopifyQL makes querying data seamless, and if you’re unsure what to ask, Sidekick’s got your back.

Available to everyone: The new analytics lets you query your data directly from a report in real time using ShopifyQL, for more dynamic and customizable reporting. Everyone has a data warehouse now!

What we announced at Editions. Can’t wait to share more in Toronto at DotDev

@thedanielokon @Shopify Sidekick is so good it’s not even funny, use it almost daily for analysis and suggestions

[Daniel Beauchamp @pushmatrix]

Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.

But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?

We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.

We call it Quick 👇🧵

And now you can access your analytics data in Shopify Flow with a "Get analytics data" action. It works with our scheduled time trigger, enabling reporting use cases and more. https://t.co/LBN3vwlhrs

[Shopify Engineering @ShopifyEng]

We reverse-engineered training data from thousands of merchant-created automations and fine-tuned Qwen3-32B into a tool-calling agent for Shopify Flow.

Results: 2.2x faster, 68% cheaper

The more interesting part: why we trained on Python instead of our own DSL, and what broke when benchmarks looked good but production didn't. ⬇️

Did you know you can query ShopifyQL directly from python?

Use it in your jupyter notebooks or tell calude code about it to get any dashboard you want https://t.co/LCNN7Mu23X

[Mikhail Parakhin @MParakhin]

Today we started rolling out SimGym — a system that creates “digital customers” that behave like real ones. They browse your site, complete tasks, and reveal optimization opportunities. You can even run A/B tests with *zero* live traffic! Spent a year developing it.
