Shopify deployed Tinker, a free mobile app that gives merchants access to over 100 AI tools for generating product photos, logos, social media videos, and other brand assets using plain-language prompts, without requiring design skills.
Details
Launched publicly on March 26, 2026, Tinker consolidates AI models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and other providers into a single guided mobile application. The app is organized by output type — such as product photography or logo design — so users browse by what they want to create rather than which AI model to use. Shopify handles complex prompt engineering in the background. The app maintains brand continuity across sessions by applying context from prior creations. It is available as a free download on iOS and Android and does not require an active Shopify subscription to use.
