Shopify usage-based billing, a more reliable AI Assistant, and faster performance

Usage-based Shopify billing, a fix for a runaway AI Assistant attachment loop, search-then-read MCP tools that cut template token usage, and builder offline detection.

This release adds usage-based billing for the Shopify app, makes the AI Assistant more reliable, and speeds up AI-assisted work on larger accounts.

Shopify usage-based billing

The Shopify embedded app now supports usage-based ("pay as you go") billing. Once a store's included credits run out, usage draws down from any purchased credit balance first, before falling back to Shopify's own billing.

A more reliable AI Assistant

Fixed a bug where the AI Assistant could get stuck re-reading the same large attachment over and over. It's now smarter about managing memory, and it no longer cuts off legitimate long-running responses too early.

Faster AI Assistant on templates

The AI Assistant can now look up just the specific piece of a template or blog post it needs, instead of loading the whole document. This makes it noticeably faster on larger accounts.

Builder offline detection

The builder now detects when your connection drops and automatically retries any pending saves once you're back online.
