Shopia is split into two key products, Shopia Documents and Shopia Automations.

Automations can help you automate any key marketing or sales task using AI.

Shopia Documents is an AI workspace to help you research, write and manage your work projects or content.

Together these two products can be used to dramatically increase work efficiency for marketing & sales teams.

In this guide will give you a brief overview of each product.

What is an Automation?

With Shopia automations you can build your own custom tools to perform any repetitive task.

When a Shopia automation is triggered, a series of actions is performed. These actions can connect to AI, search the internet and interact with other software. These actions can work together to do just about anything.

There are 3 types of automations. They are characterized by the way they are triggered:

  1. Standard automation - upload lists of tasks or run your automation via API e.g Create a list of articles.

  2. Scheduled automation - run a task every hour/day/week e.g Summarize the news each week using AI.

  3. App triggered automation - run when something changes in your existing apps e.g do something when a Google Doc is created.

What is a Document?

A document in Shopia is the perfect workspace for any project.

Within each document you have a text editor and 100's of content creation & research tools.

You can start to think of Shopia documents as Google Docs combined with Chat GPT in one place. But that's just the beginning.

Documents is packed full of tools that usually you would have to switch between multiple apps to use. Some of these tools include:

  • Shopia Chat - a personalized chat assistant to help with your project.

  • Workflow templates - basic automations to search the internet, create content & more.

  • Smart search - Instantly find what you're looking for in your business files with AI.

  • Media - Search for images/videos or generate images with AI.

Not only that, but Shopia's tools can connect to your business files and website.
