Create a tile by chatting with Sidekick
Describe the tile you want in one sentence and watch Sidekick build it in Tile Studio.
Sidekick is Shopify's AI assistant, and StoCu is wired into it. It has become one of the fastest ways to start a tile: describe what you want, watch it get built.
Enable it first
Open Sidekick from the icon in the Shopify admin's top navigation. The first time, you need to enable StoCu inside it: hit the plus button, go to Apps, and select StoCu. If it says no apps found, refresh the page and look again; that usually clears it. You will also approve access once on first use.
Ask for what you want
Compound requests work. For example: "Create a three column product grid with a personalized customer greeting above it." Sidekick opens the tile with the structure seeded and drafts the rest while you watch.
Two things to know while it works: Sidekick uses its own compact editing view, smaller than the full Tile Studio, and that is normal. And once it finishes, hit save and return; the tile lands in My Tiles, where you can open it in the full Tile Studio for fine-tuning.
