Shopify will soon let you create discounts for your online store using AI

Shopify has announced another huge update with the addition of 100 more features and capabilities to its ecommerce offering.

Announced at its bi-annual Editions showcase, Shopify now offers an AI-enabled commerce assistant for business owners under the Shopify Magic umbrella - suite of AI-enabled features that are integrated across Shopify’s products.

The Sidekick tool, despite not being released officially yet, can understand and interpret questions or prompts to assist businesses with the generation of new ideas or accomplishing tasks.

Shopify takes on AI 

Shopify says that the Sidekick tool can be used to set up discounts for holiday sales, redesign websites to fit the season, identify best selling products and more - all powered by AI.

“I can't actually think of any corner of the internet that will benefit more from AI than the pursuit of people building and growing their own businesses,” said Tobi Lütke, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Shopify. 

“I've been part of the technology industry since the mid-nineties. I have never seen anything like AI. This will be an unbelievable boon to entrepreneurship.”

Sidekick is just one of the many features that the Shopify Magic suite has to offer. Other features include FAQ and response recommendations personalised for a merchant’s store, as well as the ability to instantly generate blog posts and emails using AI.

“These announcements, along with 100+ others announced in Shopify’s Summer ’23 Edition, bring to life opportunities that both entrepreneurs and enterprises have previously only dreamt of,” said Deann Evans, Managing Director, EMEA at Shopify. 

“In this new era of commerce, AI helps people create businesses faster than ever before; shopping is available everywhere, anywhere, and always; and the pain points of running a business hurt way less because of our products. This is commerce, re-imagined.”

Aside from Shopify’s new AI capabilities, the ecommerce website builder is also launching its Marketplace Connect - an app for merchants to sell on other marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, and Walmart, while managing every order within Shopify.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
