AI Co-founder
The AI Co-founder plan: four agents, a campaign planner, a creative studio, an SEO audit, retargeting and the automations that run your store with you.
AI Co-founder is a paid plan for online stores, ₹1,499 a month or ₹14,990 a year. It contains everything the Growth plan contains, and adds four AI agents you can talk to, a page in your store dashboard that does the marketing work, five automations that run without you, and 1,500 AI credits every month. This category explains what each piece does, what it costs, and how to tell whether it is working.
Nothing about your store changes when you move to this plan. Your products, orders, design, payments and domain stay exactly as they are. Everything here is added on top.
How the pieces fit together
- The four agents are chat. You open one from the button at the bottom right of any store screen, or from Dashboard → Agents. *Builder* edits your site, *Co-founder* reads your numbers, *Growth* writes your marketing, *SEO* gets you found. Each message costs 1 credit, and nothing they propose reaches your store until you press Apply.
- The AI Co-founder tab in your store dashboard is where the heavy work happens: a campaign planner, a creative studio for product photos and ad creatives, a carousel builder, a store-wide SEO audit and a retargeting kit. Each action shows its credit price on the button before you press it.
- The automations are on the same tab and run on their own: abandoned-cart reminders, broadcasts to your customers, a chat assistant on your storefront, promotions that switch themselves on and off, and a Monday digest of what happened last week.
- Credits are the meter that ties them together. One credit is one rupee of face value, the plan grants 1,500 a month, and unused credits carry over. Failed work is refunded automatically.
The rule that runs through all of it: you approve every change. The agents prepare a change and show you an Apply card. The SEO audit proposes rewrites you tick. A generated image is not attached to a product until you say so. A broadcast asks you to confirm before it reaches anybody.
The order to do things
- 1Read [What the AI Co-founder plan is](/help/ai-cofounder/what-is-ai-cofounder) so you know where everything lives before you go hunting for it.
- 2Read [AI credits](/help/ai-cofounder/ai-credits) and learn what each action costs. Five minutes here saves a surprised look at your balance later.
- 3Run the [SEO audit](/help/ai-cofounder/seo-audit-and-retargeting) and apply the rewrites you agree with. It is the cheapest thing on the page and it keeps working while you sleep.
- 4Switch on the [automations](/help/ai-cofounder/automations) you want. Cart reminders and the Monday digest cost no credits and are on already. Leave the storefront assistant off until you have read its guide.
- 5Add a real photo to every product, then make images in the Creative studio. The studio works from the photo you have, so this is the step that decides how good the output is.
- 6Plan a campaign with the campaign planner once you know from your own numbers which products are worth pushing.
Who this is for
It is for a seller who is already taking orders and is now stuck on the marketing: the photos are phone photos, the Instagram account has not been posted to in three weeks, nobody has written the product descriptions properly, and there is no one to ask what to do next. If that is you, this plan is a marketing person you can afford.
It is not for someone who has not opened a store yet. Every part of it reads your real products, your real orders and your real customers. With an empty store there is nothing for it to work from, and it says so rather than inventing numbers. Build the store first with Getting started, get a few orders in, then come back.
What is not here
- Running your ads. The campaign planner writes a plan. You set the campaign up in Meta Ads Manager yourself. There is no ad-account connection, and SitesPlaced cannot see or stop your ad spend.
- Posting to Instagram. Carousels, captions and creatives are made for you to download and post.
- Anything to do with orders, payouts or billing. The agents cannot touch those, and the storefront assistant cannot place, change or cancel an order.
- The selling features themselves. Sales boosters, reviews, loyalty, WhatsApp order alerts and payments are part of the Growth plan that this plan contains, and they are documented in Online Stores and Payments & Orders where you set them up.
AI can get things wrong
Check every price, claim and image before you publish it or send it to a customer. Look hardest at generated images: the product's colour, its shape, and every word written on the picture. You are responsible for what your store says.
How much does the AI Co-founder plan cost?
₹1,499 a month, or ₹14,990 for a year, which works out to ₹1,249 a month. Outside India it is $29.99 a month or $299.90 a year. It includes everything in the Growth plan, 1,500 AI credits every month and 10 GB of storage, and covers one store.
What is an AI credit?
The meter for AI work. One credit is one rupee of face value. An agent message costs 1 credit, a campaign plan 5, an SEO audit 5, and an image 2 to 45 depending on quality. The price is always shown on the button before you press it, and failed work is refunded automatically.
Can I try it free?
Not this plan. The 14-day no-card trial covers the Starter and Growth plans. AI Co-founder is bought outright from the pricing page or the upgrade button in your dashboard.
Will the AI change my store without asking?
No. Every write is something you approve: an Apply card in chat, a tick box in the SEO audit, a button to attach an image to a product, a confirmation before a broadcast goes out. The automations you switch on are the only things that act on their own, and they send messages rather than editing your store.
What happens to all this if I cancel?
The agents, the AI Co-founder tab and the automations stop working. Your store, products, orders, customers and settings are untouched, and anything the AI already applied stays applied. Your credit balance stays on the account if you come back.

What the AI Co-founder plan is
The plan that adds four AI agents, a campaign planner, a creative studio, an SEO audit, a retargeting kit and five automations on top of everything in Growth, with 1,500 AI credits a month.
AI credits: what they cost and what they buy
One credit is one rupee of face value. The published price of every AI action, your 1,500 credits a month, top-up packs, automatic refunds when a generation fails, and where the balance is shown.
Creative studio: phone photo to product shots and ads
Turn one phone photo into catalogue images, ad creatives and festive posters. The twelve styles, the sizes, what is kept from your photo, what each quality level costs, and how to put the result on a product.
Instagram carousels: one topic, a finished post
Type what the post is about and get three to seven rendered slides, a caption and hashtags. The two slide styles, what each slide costs, and how to get the images out.
Campaign planner: a Meta ads plan for your store
Give it a goal and a daily budget and it writes the plan: which products to push, five ad hooks, audiences, the creatives to make, a day-by-day schedule, and when to stop. You run the ads yourself in Meta Ads Manager.
SEO audit and the retargeting kit
Score your whole store's SEO and apply the rewrites you agree with, then set up the Meta and Google product feeds and the Pixel checklist that bring back visitors who did not buy.
Automations: cart reminders, broadcasts, promotions and the Monday digest
The four automations that run without you: an abandoned-cart email at one hour and twenty-four hours, broadcasts to subscribers and past buyers, promotions that switch themselves on and off, and a Monday morning digest.
Storefront assistant: the chat bubble on your store
A chat bubble that answers shoppers from your own catalogue and policies, never invents a discount or a delivery date, and hands off to your WhatsApp when it is not sure. Off by default, and 1 credit per shopper message.
