BUYING GUIDE
Do you need an AI writer or a tool that sends?
An AI writer helps with the words. A tool that sends also needs a list, a sender and send rules. Choose based on the work you want it to do. Ask to see each step.
In this guide
1. Pick the job you need help with
| Job | What you should see |
|---|---|
| Write the email | A draft you can read and change. |
| Send the email | Who gets it, when it sends and a send log. |
| Choose the next follow-up | Which shopper facts it used and what it plans to do. |
If you already have a send plan, you may only need help with the draft. Ask the writer for a subject, preview line and short message. You can put them in the email app you use now.
If you want follow-ups to run on their own, check the other two jobs too. A tool may do one, two or all three. The words “AI email” do not tell you which.
For example, Shopify Magic can draft subjects and email text in Shopify Messaging. You still need to check the draft and finish the email setup.
2. Ask how it gets your store facts
Does it read your product list, or do you paste in the details? Can it see a shopper’s cart and past orders? Ask what you need to connect.
Use one item from your store. Check its price, size and stock. Give the tool a fact that is easy to miss, such as no sale on that item. Read the result.
A name in a greeting is not the whole test. Look at the item, offer and link. Ask what happens when a fact is missing. It should not need to guess a price or make up a deal.
3. Try one cart from start to end
Use a test shopper who signed up for your emails. They leave one item in their cart. Ask to see the draft, the planned send and the link back.
Then change the case: the shopper buys before the email is due. Ask how the tool sees that order and stops the old reminder. Check the log, not just the sales pitch.
Find the pause switch. Ask what it stops. A send set on a form or sent by hand may have a separate control.
If the tool only writes, that is fine. Write down which app will handle the send and stop rules.
Use the myuser.ai cart-recovery setup to see how a draft connects to shopper activity, sending controls and a saved-cart destination.
4. Check the work and cost left to you
Ask who sets up the sender and moves your list. Check whether the plan counts people, emails or both. If you want texts, check their setup and cost on their own.
Use the same list size and send count when you compare plans. Include any extra use fees. Ask what happens when you reach a limit.
Check your current app too. You may already have the writing help you need. If you add a new sender, decide which old sends to turn off.
5. Where myuser.ai fits
myuser.ai writes and sends emails and texts for Shopify stores. It uses products, visits, past orders and recent messages to shape each follow-up.
You review the email designs and choose which tools can run. The designs help shape each shopper’s email. New visits can lead myuser.ai to add, change or remove a planned message.
myuser.ai also has signup pop-ups. A form’s follow-up can use its offer and the shopper’s answers. You can start with myuser.ai’s email sender. Your own email domain can be added later.
Open the product guide to see setup, sample messages and the controls. Use the same check sheet below for myuser.ai and any other tool.
For the signup part of that workflow, see Shopify pop-up forms and their welcome follow-ups. The form’s promise, channel choice and first message need to agree.
