Shopify has introduced and launched a new mobile app, Tinker, which puts over 100 different AI tools in the hands of creators, entrepreneurs, businesses, or anyone else who wants to experiment with AI. While it has a variety of different uses, the platform is especially great for ecommerce brands looking to generate assets, create storefronts, and more.
Introducing Tinker
In a blog post on the company website, Shopify introduced Tinker, which is a new mobile app that brings a variety of AI tools into one place for anyone to use and explore the power of AI. The mobile app is completely free to download and use, available on both Apple and Android devices, and you can create a new account or sign in with your existing Shopify account.
Instead of forcing individuals and businesses to manage several different AI apps, subscriptions, tools, and platforms, Tinker brings more than 100 specialized AI tools into one app. This includes tools to help create videos, images, logos, and much more.
Shopify is no stranger to AI and automation, as the company is preparing for AI to change retail and has launched an Agentic Plan and an AI-powered commerce assistant called Sidekick. As a result, creating and introducing an app like this certainly makes sense for the brand.
Making Creation More Accessible
According to the post, this app is all about making AI creation as easy and accessible as possible, even for those who don’t have a lot of experience or expertise when it comes to AI prompts.
When you open the app, you’ll see tools organized specifically by outcome, such as social media videos or logo creation, and every tool shows off some examples so you know how to use it and what it does.
All you need to do is choose a tool, tell it in plain language what you need it to do, and Tinker handles the rest behind the scenes.
More Than Just Individual Tools
In addition to these individual tools to use and experiment with, the app also brings in models from providers like Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI into one platform. Each of them is packaged with the very same guided experience, and as new tools launch, these models will update.
There’s also no need to learn new interfaces and change things up when a new model is released, as you can just continue using Tinker and feel comfortable knowing that the new model is there.
Also, another benefit this app has over using disconnected tools for all of your different AI needs is that when you do everything in Tinker, the app uses context from past creations to ensure your visuals and branding are consistent across everything you build.
While the app is great for people who want to just tinker and experiment with AI, it also has plenty of specific uses for businesses looking to save time and speed up their operations. The app can help turn concepts or ideas into brand assets, create visuals without designers, and even help you launch new stores or products incredibly quickly.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur trying to get your idea off the ground or an existing business looking to get more comfortable with AI and see what it can do for you, this free app may be worth checking out.
