Vendor AI Agent
The Vendor AI Agent is a chat assistant built into your dashboard. Ask it about your business in plain language and have it do routine work for you.
Opening it
Click the ✦ sparkle button in the top bar. The agent opens in a panel on the right, so you can keep working while it answers. Expand it to full width for longer conversations, start a new chat, or look back through your chat history. Your AI credit balance shows at the top.
What you can ask
| Area | Try asking |
|---|---|
| Store overview | “Give me a quick summary of my store.” · “How did last week compare with the week before?” |
| Sales & forecasting | “What is my sales forecast for the next 30 days?” · “What are my peak hours?” |
| Inventory | “List my products with low inventory.” |
| Customers | “Identify my top spending customers.” · “Show details for [email protected].” |
| Orders | “Show today’s pending orders.” · “Find order #1042.” You can also place an order for a customer: the agent shows the products, you confirm the customer’s details, and it creates the order. |
| Leads | “Any high-intent leads this week?” · “Convert this lead to a customer.” |
| Website | “Create an About page.” · “Add a redirect from /old-sale to /sale.” · “Create a footer menu with Shipping, Returns and Privacy.” |
| Blog | “Write a blog post about choosing a pashmina shawl.” |
| Bookings | “What appointments do I have tomorrow?” · “Book Sita for a haircut at 3 pm Friday.” |
| Client projects | “Show me my active projects.” · “Which milestones are still unpaid?” · “Add a new client.” |
| Settings | “Change my store name and support email.” |
The suggestions on the chat's welcome screen change with your business type. A Business Website sees project and client ideas; an online store sees products, orders and inventory.
How it acts on your store
The agent has the same tools as a Claude or ChatGPT connection to your store, and the same safety checks:
- It can only reach this store, and only what you could do yourself. A staff member's agent is limited by their staff permissions.
- Before a risky change, such as editing your live homepage or changing an order, it tells you what will change and waits for you to say yes.
- Page, header, footer and theme changes are saved first, so you can undo them in one click from Settings › MCP Connections.
- Every action it takes is listed in Settings › MCP Connections › Activity, marked "Vendor AI Agent".
- Everything it creates, such as products, pages, posts or appointments, appears in the dashboard as normal, where you can check and edit it.
Be specific
Turning it on
The agent runs on your own Gemini or Claude API key, billed by your AI provider, with no Joomni credits. Its button appears in the top bar once you switch on AI Features, add a key and leave Vendor AI Agent switched on.
