Your store has two customers now: people and their agents. Kinect sells to both.

San Francisco, CA
Stores that know their shoppers sell more. Stores that agents can read sell everywhere. Do both. Commerce is going back to a conversation.
Six trillion dollars will be spent online this year. By 2030, five trillion of it won’t be spent by a person. Every store now has two customers: people and their agents. We built Kinect so brands can sell to both. Introducing @trykinect

Kinect (@trykinect) turns every e-commerce store into an AI-powered storefront that actually sells. As customers shop, online shopping assistants leverage what each customer is looking for in the moment, adapts to every visitor in real time, captures buying intent data they’ve never had before. Congrats on the launch, @Kratik_ag & @VarunKand! ycombinator.com/launches/Q1Q…

Before & After. This is what conversion-focused design looks like Clear value prop. Social proof. One strong CTA. Less fluff, more revenue. Pretty doesn’t convert, clarity does.If your site still looks like the “before,” you’re leaking sales. #CRO📷 #Ecommerce #DTC #ConversionR

but there's a next layer most brands miss: dynamic on-site experiences that adapt to why a visitor came

Ads are a traffic system. Email is a retention system. What's your intent-to-decision system for the 2-3% of visitors who actually land ready to buy? thats still missing

100% – in a world of agents, the discovery layer is moving much faster than the brand-side experience layer

a store that responds to intent is a fundamentally different product than one that just displays inventory. this is the future of ai e-commerce

Walmart's AI shopping assistant is making customers spend 35% more per cart. The CEO is bragging about it publicly. And here's what nobody in the AI video space is saying out loud: video is about to become the most powerful persuasion engine in retail history. Walmart's Sparky works through text — "you might also need outdoor candles for that BBQ." It's effective, but it's still words on a screen. Now imagine that same upsell delivered as a 5-second AI-generated video showing YOUR backyard setup with those candles glowing, the bluetooth speaker playing, guests arriving. That's not a product recommendation. That's an emotional simulation of a purchase you haven't made yet. This is already happening in fragments. Amazon rolled out AI-generated product listing videos late last year — short clips that show items in context without a single photographer involved. Shopify launched Vids, letting merchants generate branded video ads from a product URL and a text prompt. TikTok Shop sellers in Southeast Asia are using AI video tools to produce 50+ product demo variations per day, A/B testing thumbnails, hooks, and angles at a scale no human video team could match. The economics are brutal: what cost $2,000 per product video in 2024 now costs under $5. But the Walmart number reveals something deeper. Text recommendations boost cart value 10-15%. Add static images, maybe 18-20%. Video has consistently shown 2-3x higher conversion rates than static content in e-commerce. If a text-based AI persuasion layer hits 35%, a video-native version could push past 50%. That's not a marketing improvement — that's a fundamental restructuring of how commerce works. The uncomfortable truth: AI video's biggest commercial use case won't be Hollywood or YouTube creators. It'll be selling you things. Every product page will have a personalized AI video tailored to your browsing history, your aesthetic preferences, your emotional state at 11pm when your impulse control is lowest. The AI doesn't just show you the product — it shows you the version of your life where you already bought it. The companies building AI video generation right now aren't just building creative tools. They're building the infrastructure for the next generation of commerce. The question isn't whether AI video will replace static product photos — that's already settled. The question is whether consumers will even realize they're being sold to when the pitch looks like a personalized movie scene. vo3ai.com #AIVideo

it's not just product recommendations, it's the assistant asking why someone is shopping and adapting the whole experience in response

Starting this week, millions of @Shopify merchants can sell in ChatGPT, into the US. Their PDP, their checkout, their customizations, no extra setup. AI is a new front door to commerce. Shopify is what’s behind it everywhere.

its a nice front door but users still end up on old static brand sites. discovery is getting smarter but conversion is still the same

The average e-commerce conversion rate is 2-3%. That means 97% of visitors leave without buying. Most brands respond by running more ads. But, the actual problem – every visitor gets the exact same experience. That needs to change trykinect.com
