AI tools for ecommerce: How to pick
Before we look at each tool in detail, it’s important to consider the following factors to help ensure you choose the most appropriate platform for your needs:
- Price: Does it fit your budget? Will it provide a tangible return on investment?
- Functionality: Does the tool do what you need, or are there gaps that will require you to use an additional platform as well?
- Support: If you need some help or troubleshooting, will there be people available to help you?
- Licenses: Can you use the output from the AI tools as part of your business, or are there restrictions on commercial use?
The best AI tools for ecommerce
In this article, we’ll be looking at the following AI tools:
- Solidgrids—product images
- Maverick—personalized videos
- Kili—AI support team
- Copysmith—product descriptions
- Adcreative—ad creatives
- Patterned—unique product patterns
- CopyMonkey—Amazon listings
- Shulex Voc—market research
- Unbound—all-in-one AI tool
Solidgrids
Solidgrids removes the headache of image post-production, by using AI-powered automation to isolate the product in the photo and then removing the background. Flooring, walls, boxes, even shadows from the product itself, all are removed.
This leaves you with a perfect image for product listings: the item as you photographed it, on a plain, white background.
Here’s an example of how it works.
On the left side is how the image appeared originally, with the shoes on wooden flooring and small shadows visible. On the right side is the enhanced image, with the flooring and shadows removed.
This final image could be uploaded to your ecommerce store immediately, or put into another AI image tool to add new backgrounds.
Pricing
- Free trial: 300 credits
- Basic: $75 per month, 500 images with unused credits rolling over up to 1000 images

Maverick
If you’ve ever wished you had the time to send all of your customers a video to welcome them or say thanks for buying from you, Maverick is for you.
You record a single video with the message you’d like to send, and Maverick then personalizes it for every recipient. You can also record multiple videos, to be used at different stages of the customer journey—like recovering abandoned carts.

AdCreative takes the hassle out of making ad creatives. Many experienced marketers know that to get the most out of PPC, it’s important to run a lot of different versions to find the one that best resonates with the audience.
AdCreative makes this possible instantly. It can generate creatives, headlines, text, and social posts, allowing you to A/B test at higher volume.
Each version is given an “AI Recommendation” score, and the team claims that 95% of users see an improvement in CTR in the first month of using the tool.
Pricing
Free trial: 7 days
Adcreative has four pricing plans: Starter, Premium, Ultimate, and Scale Up. There are also two tiers to choose from: Startups, and Professionals. All four pricing plans are available on both tiers, at different prices. The Starter plan is $29 per month on the Startups tier, with 10 credits, 1 brand, and 1 user. The Starter plan on the Professionals tier is $189 per month with 100 credits, 5 brands, and 5 users.
Each plan has unlimited generations, integration with Facebook and Google, unlimited stock images, and an AI text generator. The total price will depend on how many brands, users, and credits you need.
Patterned
Struggling to find the perfect pattern for your product? Enter Patterned: with its AI pattern maker, you’re able to generate an unlimited amount of designs, completely unique and customized to your product. Each one is royalty-free, too.
The process is simple: input some keywords and the AI pattern generator gets to work. You can tell the tool specific themes—like “flower” or “leaves”—and a style, such as “abstract”.
It’s also possible to give it an artist’s name you love the work of, and request things like fine or bold lines, subtle colors, or high contrast.
Once it presents a pattern that you love, you add it to the product for a virtual rendering, like this:
Pricing
- Free: Unlimited photo downloads, 10 free pattern generations, royalty free with attribution to PatternedAI

Copymonkey also generates product descriptions for ecommerce—simply tell it some of the features of your products and it writes a description in seconds.
Like the general angle but aren’t thrilled with the text? Use the “rephrase it” feature and Copymonkey will regenerate it. To save time, you can import your entire product catalog so all the descriptions are created at once.
Pricing
- Starter: $49 per month, 6 Amazon listings each month, listing generator, listing audit, keywords uploader, unlimited edits
- Pro: $99 per month, 50 Amazon listings each month, all the features as Starter but soon to also include A/B tests for listings
- Enterprise: Custom pricing, personal manager, bulk import and export
Shulex Voc
As an ecommerce brand, knowing what people want is crucial. The problem is, it takes a lot of time to perform sentiment analysis, analyze your competitors and the areas they are disappointing their customers, or research specific products. That’s where Shulex Voc comes in.
Quickly learn what motivates buyers, how to differentiate from competitors, what messaging to use to stand out, which new features would solve common complaints, and analyze the reviews across Amazon and Google.
Pricing
You can start using Shulex Voc for free, but no further pricing information is publicly available.
Unbound
We’ve looked at a number of platforms and you might be thinking that it would be great if there was a single, all-in-one AI tool for ecommerce. The creators of Unbound had that same thought.
It doesn’t offer the same functionality as every tool in this article, but it can write blogs and product descriptions, generate endless product photos against different backgrounds, create logos and icons, and turn real photos into digital avatars. If those are the main features you need, you might find using this platform saves you paying for three separate ones.
Pricing
- Free: 100 credits a month, up to 100 saves, avatar templates, access to all tools
- $35 a month: unlimited credits, access to all generation tools, enhance resolution, custom avatar models, unlimited saves
Wrap up
AI has been around for a while, but there are now more options than ever before. And while none of the platforms will remove the need for you to be present in your business, they can save you a lot of time and potentially money.
Of course, it’s important to always check the accuracy of the output from an AI tool for ecommerce—for example, is the copy truthful and does it make sense? Are the images correct, or have parts of the product been cropped while removing the background?
The best way to approach choosing an AI tool to grow your ecommerce business is to know what you need—not only today, but also consider if the platform will continue to support you as you grow. This will help to narrow down your search and help you find appropriate solutions.
