ShopNext.AI, a startup specialized in smart solutions for digital retail, has just announced the official launch of its catalog management platform based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). After a successful beta phase that started at VTEX Day 2025, held in June, the technology—designed to automate and scale one of the most critical and operational tasks of e-commerce—is now available to the entire market.  

Focused on solving historical bottlenecks in the sector, the solution automates product registration and maintenance, categorization, attribute filling, description generation, and category tree management. According to the company, the platform can reduce manual task time by up to 98%, freeing up teams for strategic activities such as curation, shopping experience, and commercial performance.  

“The catalog is the backbone of any e-commerce operation, but it is still handled manually and inefficiently in most companies. We created ShopNext.AI to change this scenario with a plug-and-play, intelligent, and auditable solution. We want teams to focus on what really matters: strategy, content, and conversion—and leave the repetitive work to AI,” says Pedro Duarte, CEO of ShopNext.AI.  

Even before the official launch, ShopNext.AI has already gained the trust of major players in the national retail sector, with dozens of proof of concepts validated in the last two months. Retailers like Privalia (fashion), Rede d1000 (pharmacy), and Chatuba (construction materials) have recently begun to operate with the new technology in their product registration and update workflows.  

With a robust roadmap ahead, the company plans to reach the milestone of 500 active customers by the end of the year and will expand its presence on enterprise platforms by the end of 2025, establishing itself as a reference in automation and efficiency for the sector.
