Shopify news leans into AI commerce and media driven discovery
This update lines up neatly with the Shopify Narrative catalyst around aggressive AI integration and deeper ties to emerging retail channels.

Together, they reinforce the idea of Shopify as a commerce operating system that supports agent driven shopping, rather than just a storefront builder.
