AI Features
Everything AI in your dashboard is controlled from one place. Switch AI on, add your own Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude API key, choose which AI features you want, and tell the AI who your brand is.
How it works
AI in Joomni runs on your own AI key. Your AI provider bills you directly for what you use; Joomni adds no charge and uses no credits. Until AI is switched on and a key is saved, no AI buttons show anywhere in your dashboard.
Turn on AI
Switch AI Features on
In Settings › AI Features, turn on the switch at the top.Get an API key
From Google AI Studio (Gemini) or the Anthropic Console (Claude).Add it under Your AI provider
Paste the key, choose a model, switch that provider on and click Save Changes. Joomni checks the key works before saving it. Keys are stored encrypted and only ever shown masked.Done
The status at the top turns green, and the AI buttons appear in your dashboard straight away.
One key is enough
Models. Gemini models are grouped as Latest (Gemini 3.8 Flash), Stable and Preview; Claude models as Latest (Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 5, Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1) and Legacy. Preview models can change or be retired at short notice. If you saved a model that has since been shut down, the page tells you, and Joomni uses its replacement until you pick a new one. Choose Custom to enter any model ID your provider offers.
Choose what AI can do
Each AI feature has its own switch, so you only see the ones you want:
| Feature | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Vendor AI Agent | The ✦ button in the dashboard top bar. Guide |
| Product & collection writer | “Generate with AI” on the product and collection forms: titles, descriptions, tags and SEO. |
| Page editor AI | The Ideas Agent in the page editor, AI in custom code sections, and AI page SEO in Page SEO & Settings. |
Turning the main switch off hides all of them at once and stops your store's AI. Your keys and settings are kept, ready for when you switch it back on.
Also on your key
Brand voice
Describe your brand once, at the bottom of the AI Features tab, and the AI uses it everywhere it writes or designs:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tone of voice | Professional & Corporate, Playful & Friendly, Luxury & Elegant, Minimalist & Clean, Bold & Energetic, or Tech-Forward & Modern. |
| Brand Story / Bio | Who you are, your mission, and your target audience. The more specific, the better the copy. |
| Instructions | Design and content rules the AI must follow, for example “Keep headings short and punchy”, “Use active voice”, “Rounded buttons, subtle shadows”, “Never use generic filler text”. |
A starting template matching your business type is filled in for you. Reset takes you back to it at any time. Your brand voice is also shared with Claude or ChatGPT when you connect one to your store. It guides the wording and design only; it can't switch off Joomni's own checks, such as the AI asking before it changes your live site.
A good brand bio
If something doesn't work
- No AI buttons? Check the status at the top of Settings › AI Features: AI must be on, a provider switched on with a saved key, and that feature's own switch on.
- "AI features are off for this store" means AI was switched off or the key was removed. Turn it back on in Settings › AI Features.
- Key won't save? Joomni tests every key before saving it. Check it was copied in full, that billing is set up with your provider, and that the model is one your account can use.
