CE Phoenix Cart Forum

I feel quite proud to have been awarded something, if an awards for this existed. No doubt there are others out there who would have won the same thing as me, but hey, who cares. Its an award created by chatgpt

I must confess to be using chatgpt for small code updates to lots of the already great code created by the developers of Phoenix. Thanks must go to them really, not me.

Ha Ha Nice one, you are now a skynet target

Personally I subscribe to and use Ninja AI which is an all-in-one productivity platform by NinjaTech AI, offering various AI models (like GPT, Claude, Gemini) for tasks like writing, coding, research, and image creation, accessible via a single interface, even running multiple AI agents simultaneously to boost efficiency. It's built with AWS infrastructure, allowing it to handle complex, multi-step tasks autonomously and provide access to powerful models affordably, functioning as a multi-agent personal assistant (yes copied from google AI result )

but I like this better:


Making the Darts Apps was a lot of fun.

A good, fun thread to end the Year, thanks @14Steve14.

If you are a Chatgpt user, post yours...
Do a conversation "my year with chatgpt" and see what it brings you.

Thanks Gary.

Its a shame that others are not joining in, or maybe they are missing out on using chatGPT and other AI models for business things.

Apart from adjusting bits, and creating stuff, in phoenix we have used it to create help guides, but care needs taking to make sure the advice is correct. We have used it for SEO stuff on the website and especially for meta titles and tags. We have improved lots of our product and category descriptions by asking questions about keywords. God knows how many social media posts we have had it create. Then there are the times we have used it to bash ideas and create workflow type things.

The best one was the 24 day advent calendar that we have just removed for the run up to Christmas. Full website pages and index modules, links, specials, help guide listings and social posts. It was a lot of work to get right with lots of changes but customers loved it.

We have found limitations to what it can do, but what is good is that other AI like Gemini can do those things so nothing lots.

The next plan, if time allows, is to create a test store using the latest version and see if it can update the numerous small code changes we have made to my current store.

Here's to another year of fiddling with AI.

This sounds awesome!

I have been using AI to import products from 2 of my suppliers (currently at about 10k products)

From importing categories, products, descriptions, etc and also all images including extra images.

I have been working on this for quite a bit of 2025 on and off when time allows.

I was awarded this one.

@burt Gary
it was nothing special. An index module that showed the date of the advent calendar sat on an image with a bit of blurb, which linked to the main advent page. It was a page about a fictional railway branch line that had been closed years ago, and was reopening with 24 steps remaining until the line was finish (days until christmas like any other advent calendar). Each of the days on the page announced some new thing achieved by the branch line which were related to categories and help pages on our website, with a daily special offer from one of those sections. The page was added to every day with more explanation of what the branch line was doing, special offers and help guides until day 24. All days apart from the current day were greyed out, but still allowed the links to clicked and the text read which placed emphasis on the current day.

It was a bit of fun and we got loads of comments about it from customers. Great way, and something different in the lead up to Christmas.

Now got to plan something else for next year.
