Shopify leaning deeper into AI, reports US$581M Q1 loss
Summary
Shopify says AI now underpins a majority of its coding work, with engineers directing and reviewing while AI handles execution. The company reported a US$581 million net loss for Q1 on revenue of US$3.17 billion. Shopify says embedding AI let it ship more than 300 new products and features last year while keeping headcount flat, and it has rolled out merchant-facing AI tools and a partnership with OpenAI. The firm has also carried out rounds of layoffs as it reallocates resources and sharpens focus on AI-driven priorities.
