= AI-Powered. Not AI-Sprinkled. =
CommerceBird doesn't just mention AI as a feature — it's the foundation of the entire platform. 
Through native WooCommerce MCP integration, the built-in AI engine can generate orders, create and update products, surface store-specific analytics, and deliver actionable recommendations — all through natural conversation. 
Your store doesn't just run smarter; it runs itself smarter.

CommerceBird now includes conversion-focused frontend AI blocks that help shoppers decide faster, trust your store more, and buy with less hesitation.

- **Product Review Summary Block** — instantly turns long review threads into clear buying insights, so customers can understand product value in seconds instead of scrolling for minutes.
- **Dynamic FAQ Block** — automatically surfaces the right pre-purchase questions and answers on each product page, reducing uncertainty and removing common conversion blockers before they cause a drop-off.
- **QA Block** — gives shoppers a dedicated question-and-answer experience right on the product page, helping them resolve objections quickly and move from "maybe" to "add to cart."

Together, these AI blocks improve product-page clarity, reduce decision friction, and increase buyer confidence at the exact moment conversion happens.

= One Platform. Every Store. Infinite Possibility. =
CommerceBird was created by a team with deep roots in both e-commerce and enterprise software — builders who understand that merchants don't need more plugins, they need fewer, better ones. We set out to create the definitive one-stop-shop for WooCommerce merchants who mean business, and CommerceBird is exactly that.
We studied every major WooCommerce management tool, every ERP connector, every B2B plugin on the market. Then we built what none of them could offer alone: a single, cohesive platform where integrations, intelligence, and store management converge.
CommerceBird isn't just a plugin. It's the operating system for your WooCommerce business — and it's built for where commerce is going, not just where it's been.
