Sidekick is built into the Shopify admin and carries out merchant operations from natural language, grounded in your own commerce data, with an extension platform letting partner apps expose their data and actions to it, included in merchant plans. Bik points outward, an agentic CRM with more than five hundred prebuilt commerce agents plus a studio, deployed across WhatsApp, Instagram, web, Messenger, SMS and email. Sidekick helps you run the store; Bik talks to the customers.
