Problem-first design
Before writing a single line of code, we invest time understanding your operations, data, and team. We map inputs, outputs, edge cases, and stakeholders. The application we build fits your business, not the other way around.
Generic AI tools make you adapt to them, not the other way around. As a dedicated AI app development agency, Chillicommerce builds custom AI applications engineered around your business, your eCommerce operations, and your growth goals. No compromise. Just solutions that actually fit.
Many businesses in eCommerce, retail, and distribution try general AI tools, only to find they do not fit their catalogue, supplier data, approval
flows, or compliance needs. We build AI-powered solutions around the exact processes generic tools cannot handle.
Important business processes often end up being managed through spreadsheets because existing systems do not fit the way your team works. We help replace manual spreadsheet-based tasks with intelligent tools that organise data, reduce duplication, and give your team a clearer way to manage daily operations.
Repetitive admin can take hours away from skilled staff every week. We design AI automation that handles routine steps, such as approvals, data checks, document routing, and task updates, so your team can focus on work that needs human decision-making.
Many companies hold important data across eCommerce platforms, ERPs, supplier files, CRMs, and internal systems that never properly connect. We create AI-enabled reporting and data solutions that bring information together, making it easier to spot problems, track performance, and make faster decisions.
Generic AI tools often struggle with detailed catalogues, supplier feeds, product attributes, pricing rules, and approval processes. We build solutions that understand your structure, clean and organise product information, and support the way your business manages catalogue complexity.
Regulatory changes, such as the EU Digital Product Passport, can create requirements that off-the-shelf tools do not yet solve. We help businesses prepare practical AI-supported systems for collecting, managing, and presenting the product data needed for compliance.
Some document tasks are too specific for generic automation, but too repetitive for experienced staff to handle manually. We build AI document processing tools that can extract, classify, check, and organise information from files, forms, supplier documents, and internal records.
Chillicommerce's approach to AI app development starts with understanding the business challenge first, ensuring the technology delivers measurable value from day one.
Before writing a single line of code, we invest time understanding your operations, data, and team. We map inputs, outputs, edge cases, and stakeholders. The application we build fits your business, not the other way around.
Speed matters. Most bespoke AI app projects move from discovery to a working MVP within weeks, not months. You get a functional tool quickly, real user feedback, and a clear path to refinement, delivered in stages.
A bespoke app should enhance your existing stack, not sit apart from it. Every application we build integrates with your current systems, Magento, Shopify, ERP, CRM, databases, and APIs. Data flows where it needs to, seamlessly.
We build software your business can rely on under real-world conditions. Proper error handling, monitoring, security, and documentation are standard, not afterthoughts. You receive a robust, maintainable application, not a prototype that falls over under pressure.
At chillicommerce, we have worked with UK eCommerce, retail, wholesale, and B2B businesses for almost two decades. That experience matters because most AI projects do not fail because the technology is weak. They fail because the solution does not understand how the business actually operates.
Our expertise sits across Magento, Adobe Commerce, Shopify, WooCommerce, E-commerce ERP integrations, custom software, automation, reporting, and AI-powered business tools. This means we can build AI solutions that connect properly with the systems you already use, instead of sitting separately from your day-to-day operations.
From automated PDF generation and intelligent product data handling to EU Digital Product Passport support, internal workflow tools, recommendation engines, and AI-assisted approval processes, we build practical applications that help your team save time, reduce errors, and make better decisions.
We are not here to add AI for the sake of it. We are here to build AI tools that make your eCommerce business easier to run.
A clear, iterative process that moves quickly without skipping important steps. You have visibility at every stage.
We identify the problem, review your systems and data, understand who's involved, and define what success looks like. This gives us a clear plan and brief to work from, so nothing is built on assumptions.
We choose the right AI tools and models based on your specific needs, not a fixed template. We assess how they fit your current systems, what data they require, and how results are delivered to your team.
Before full development begins, we build a working model using your actual data. This proves our approach works, surfaces potential issues early, and gives you something real to evaluate, before any major investment is committed.
We deploy into your environment, provide full documentation, and ensure your team is confident using it. And we don't just walk away, we offer ongoing support to improve, adapt, and evolve the solution as your business grows.
chillicommerce sits at a distinctive intersection: nearly two decades of eCommerce and retail technology experience, combined with a forward-facing AI development capability. Unlike many AI app development companies, we have a lot of experience with both trade and putting AI into practice, which helps businesses move beyond just experimenting.

Read MoreA custom AI app development project usually starts from £10,000 to £25,000 for a focused MVP or simple automation tool. More advanced applications with integrations, dashboards, workflows, and complex data handling can range from £30,000 to £100,000+. The final cost depends on the project scope, data quality, features, integrations, and level of AI complexity required.
Off-the-shelf AI tools are built for general use. A custom AI app is built around your data, workflows, systems, and business goals. It solves specific problems more accurately because it is designed for the way your team actually works.
A working MVP usually takes around 4 to 8 weeks. A full production-ready AI app can take around 3 to 4 months, depending on the complexity, integrations, and data involved.
