Connect your own AIStarter+

Use Claude, ChatGPT or another AI you already pay for on your own store's numbers, read-only.

Updated 14 October 2026Open in Marginful

On this page

Marginful has its own assistant, Orson. If you also use Claude, ChatGPT or another AI, you can connect it to your store with one link. The AI then answers from your Marginful numbers, in your own chat, with no copying and pasting. Access is read-only: the AI can look, never change anything.

Open AI connections in the side panel. Your connector link is at the top, with a Copy button. The same link works for every AI. Owners and admins can see it.

How connecting works

  1. Copy the link

    From AI connections.

  2. Add it in your AI

    Each AI has its own menu for custom connectors. Follow the guide for your AI below.

  3. Sign in and approve

    Your AI opens Marginful. Sign in, check the workspace, and press Approve. You can revoke it at any time under Connected apps.

"Not yet tested" means the steps follow each product's documentation and our connector uses the standard they require, but we have not run them end to end. We will update this page as we do.

What the AI can and cannot do

Read-only

The AI can read profit, orders, products, marketing, inventory, costs and alerts. It cannot edit orders, products, costs or ads. Every call is recorded in the audit log, and access is limited to the workspace you approved.

Questions to try

  • "What was my net profit over the last 30 days, and why did it change?"
  • "Which campaigns lose money after all costs?"
  • "Which products should I reorder soon?"
  • "What happens to profit if I raise the price of my best seller by 5%?"

What the AI can look up

Ask aboutWhat it returns
Your storesThe stores you can access
ProfitA period against the previous one: revenue, every cost line, margins, ROAS, MER, POAS and CAC
Why profit changedThe main drivers and an exact profit bridge
ProductsProfit, funnel, refunds and inventory per product
MarketingProfit and POAS by channel, campaign, ad set and ad, under any attribution model
OrdersOne order's breakdown, or filtered lists
CustomersLifetime value over time, segments and top customers
InventoryStockout risk, dead stock and reorder quantities
CostsThe P&L lines, expenses and custom costs
AlertsOpen alerts with an explanation each
Optical packLens economics, for stores with the optical pack
Price scenariosA simulation of a price change. It never changes your store

Most questions accept a store and a date range, for example "last 30 days" or "this quarter".
