Project Goal:

Our goal is to develop and deploy 2 micro AI-powered web applications that enhance e-commerce functionality, streamline business operations, and improve user engagement. These tools will be embedded on our Shopify-based website to automate processes and optimize customer interactions.

Objectives:

  • Enhance User Experience: Create interactive and intuitive tools that help customers navigate, discover, and engage with products more effectively.
  • Automate Key Processes: Leverage AI to streamline repetitive tasks such as product recommendations, chat support, and customer segmentation.
  • Increase Operational Efficiency: Reduce manual workload and improve data-driven decision-making with smart automation.
  • Boost Engagement and Conversions: Implement AI-driven features that personalize user experiences, leading to higher customer retention and sales.


This project offers a hands-on opportunity for a student to develop practical AI solutions in a business-oriented environment. The student will gain valuable experience in AI-driven web applications, and e-commerce optimization, making a direct impact on our business growth.

Deliverables

Students will be responsible for developing and deploying five AI-powered web applications designed to enhance e-commerce functionality. The key tasks and deliverables include:

  • Research & Proposal: Identify and outline potential AI-driven web applications suitable for our Shopify-based platform.
  • Development & Integration: Build and integrate at least two functional micro AI tools, ensuring seamless compatibility with Shopifyโ€™s ecosystem
  • Testing & Optimization: Conduct user testing, gather feedback, and refine the tools for better usability and performance.
  • Documentation & Handover: Provide source code, technical documentation, and a user guide for future maintenance and improvements.

The final outcome will be fully functional AI-powered applications that enhance customer engagement and operational efficiency.
