Shopify is asking some of its customer-support team members to test a translation bot powered by OpenAI's technology, weeks after a round of layoffs in May.
This move is the latest in a series of AI experiments in the support division, which troubleshoots issues for Shopify's millions of merchants.
The bot can recommend products sold by Shopify merchants based on shoppers' answers to a series of questions.
It also recently launched a tool called Shopify Magic, which uses generative AI to write product descriptions.
Shopify's support team underwent several changes this year.
