Shopify launches AI conversation site builder Canvas
What happened
TechCrunch reported on October 2 that Shopify launched Canvas, a site building tool where merchants create and edit a store by talking to the AI agent Sidekick and see results in real time. Canvas renders the store's real code, supports testing interactions and animations, shows pages at different screen sizes, and lets users click page elements to edit them. Canvas starts desktop-only and does not yet support third-party themes, app blocks and extensions, markets, translations, staged rollouts or theme updates; Shopify plans to add these over time.
