Joy AI Agent

Joy AI is a built-in assistant that helps you set up programs, plan strategy, debug issues, and navigate the app — all from a chat interface

Joy AI is currently in Beta. Responses may occasionally be incomplete or inaccurate. Always verify important changes before saving.

Overview

Joy AI is a conversational assistant built into the Joy app. You can ask it questions about the app, ask it to prepare forms for you, run a strategy planning session, or debug why something isn't working — without leaving the page.

It does not make changes automatically. When Joy AI wants to configure something, it prepares the form and shows you a preview card. You review it and click Apply to open the pre-filled form, then save it yourself.

How to open Joy AI

Click the magic wand icon (✦) in the bottom-left corner of the Joy app. The AI panel slides open on the right side of the screen.

The first time you open it, you'll see a beta consent modal explaining what the assistant can do and its limitations. Click I understand, let me try to proceed.

The interface

The AI panel has four tabs at the top:

Tab	What it shows
Chat	The main conversation — your messages and AI responses
Canvas	A persistent document the AI writes for planning sessions (appears automatically when the AI creates one)
Todos	A task progress list showing what the AI is working through (appears automatically during multi-step tasks)
Memory	Things the AI has remembered about your store and preferences

The left sidebar lists your conversation threads. You can create a new conversation, rename, or delete existing ones.

Starting a conversation

Type your message in the input box at the bottom of the Chat tab. You can also:

• @mention a resource — type @ to reference a specific product, customer, order, or collection. The AI will have that item in context.

• Use a / command — type / to browse built-in commands (see below).

• Attach an image — click the image icon or paste from clipboard. Useful for sharing a screenshot when describing an issue.

Built-in / commands

Type / in the message box to see a list of ready-made prompts. Select one to send it as your message:

Command	What it does
/plan-loyalty-program	Designs or redesigns your full loyalty program strategy, writes the plan to Canvas
/audit-loyalty	Audits your earning rules, redemption, tiers, touchpoints, and integrations — creates a todo list of improvements
/create-vip-tiers	Designs a VIP tier structure with names, thresholds, and benefits
/setup-referrals	Plans and configures your referral program
/analyze-customers	Segments your customers and shows engagement metrics

/optimize-points	Reviews your earning/redemption rates and recommends adjustments
/write-email	Drafts loyalty email content (welcome, points reminder, re-engagement, etc.)

Form prefill

When you ask the AI to create or configure something, it prepares the form and shows you a preview card in the chat. The card lists the key fields and values it will set.

Click the button on the card (e.g. "Set up Earning Program") — Joy navigates you to the correct settings page with all fields already filled in. Review every field, make any adjustments, then click Save.

Nothing is saved until you save the form yourself.

Canvas

When you run a planning session (e.g. /plan-loyalty-program), the AI writes a structured document in the Canvas tab. The tab switches automatically when Canvas content is created.

Canvas contains markdown content — headings, tables, lists — that you can read and use as a reference while configuring your program. The AI also uses it to show strategy documents, point economics tables, VIP tier comparisons, or campaign plans.

Use the copy icon in the Canvas header to copy the full document to your clipboard.

Task progress (Todos)

For multi-step tasks, the AI shows a Todos panel listing each step with its status: pending, in progress, or completed. A progress bar shows overall completion.

The panel auto-switches to this tab when a task starts, and collapses to show just the active step when minimized. When all steps complete, it shows a "Complete" state.

Memory

Joy AI can remember things about your store across conversations — your program goals, preferences, things you've told it, or decisions you've made. These are stored in the Memory tab.

You can view, edit, or delete individual memory items directly from the tab.

FAQs

Will Joy AI make changes to my store automatically?

No. Every change goes through a form prefill card — the AI prepares the form, shows you a preview, and you click Apply to open the form. You review it and save it yourself. Nothing changes without your explicit action.

Is Joy AI available on all plans?

Joy AI is currently available in Beta. Check the in-app panel for current plan availability.

The AI gave me wrong information — what should I do?

Joy AI is in beta and may occasionally be inaccurate. If something doesn't look right, verify it against the help docs or contact the support team. You can also tell the AI it was wrong — it will try to correct itself.

Can I attach screenshots or images to my message?

Yes — paste an image from your clipboard or click the image icon in the composer. This is useful for showing the AI a screenshot of something that isn't working.

How do I start fresh with a new conversation?

Click New conversation at the top of the left sidebar. Your previous conversations are saved and you can switch back to them any time.
