Overview

For Shopify merchants and engineering teams who need to make their catalog discoverable, trustworthy, and transactable across AI assistants. eLLMo AI connects to your Shopify stack in roughly 30 minutes, enriches your catalog in about 1 hour, and deploys in under 4 hours. No replatforming. Your checkout stays as-is.

eLLMo acts as a protocol-native translation layer between Shopify and AI agents. It ingests Admin API and Storefront data, normalizes everything into a single verified brand graph, and distributes via UCP, ACP, MCP, and A2A so you capture AI-driven demand and measure Share of AI Voice across ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity.

What You Get

Consolidate point solutions and automate enrichment. One integration replaces custom per-platform work.

Fast time to value

Connect in roughly 30 minutes, enrich in about 1 hour, deploy in hours. No months-long implementation cycles.
