What it does

MerchantIQ is an AI-powered shopping assistant for eCommerce that boosts sales, automates 80% of support, and captures leads in real time. Deliver smarter conversations, reduce cart abandonment, and scale your store effortlessly.

An AI-native commerce platform. SwitchIt turns your store into your best salesperson: guiding shoppers, answering questions, and capturing intelligence.

Most stores display products. MerchantIQ adds an AI layer that understands each shopper: guiding discovery, answering every question, and turning conversations into commerce intelligence. The best physical stores succeed because a knowledgeable associate guides you through uncertainty. Online, that layer is missing, so shoppers are left to search, filter, and guess. Discovery is built around browsing catalogs, not what a shopper is trying to solve. When a customer is unsure online, no one notices. In a store, an associate would step in.

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
