What is Octane AI?
Octane AI is a no-code AI quiz platform for Shopify stores that builds product recommendation quizzes, collects zero-party data from shoppers and syncs it to tools like Klaviyo. Its CORE-1 AI engine learns your catalog to match answers to products, and it offers shade matching from photos. Plans start at $50 per month with a 14-day free trial.
Shoppers facing a big catalog often leave instead of guessing which product fits them. Octane AI turns that choice into a short quiz: customers answer questions about their needs, and the AI recommends products from your catalog with personalized copy. The answers become customer attributes you can use in email and SMS flows, giving you first-party preference data rather than relying on third-party tracking.
