[Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers) or [watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo). ## Finding information is now the biggest drain on developer time It isn't tech debt or code review that wastes the most developer time anymore. Atlassian's 2025 State of Developer Experience research found finding information has overtaken technical debt as the leading source of friction, and 50% of developers lose more than 10 hours a week to organizational inefficiencies[^1],[^2]. The same research found developers spend only 16% of their time actually coding[^2]. An AI agent that has to search the web for StoreConnect conventions just moves that problem into the terminal. The extension gives Gemini CLI StoreConnect's skills, project context and specialist agents, so questions about Liquid drops, content blocks or POS registers get answered from documented platform rules instead of a search. ## Wiring a new tool into your stack is a project nobody scheduled Adding an AI agent to a commerce workflow usually means building something to connect them. MuleSoft's 2025 Connectivity Benchmark found 95% of IT leaders report integration as a hurdle to implementing AI effectively[^3], and its 2026 report found IT teams spend an average of 36% of their time designing, building and testing custom integrations[^4]. There's nothing to build here. Each StoreConnect store hosts its own connection at its own domain, the agent signs in as the developer using it and inherits exactly their access, and StoreConnect stays the system of record[^5]. ## Picking the wrong Google package quietly breaks the setup Google now offers more than one command-line agent, and the right one depends on how your team pays for it. StoreConnect ships a package for each. The Gemini CLI extension is for teams on Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise, Google Cloud and paid-key workflows, while personal free, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra users are routed to Antigravity CLI and should use the separate Antigravity package[^6]. Getting that right on day one saves a confusing afternoon later. ## Keep your developers in the terminal and out of the docs The fastest lookup is the one your developers never have to make. [Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers). Install the extension with a single `gemini extensions install` command and Gemini CLI starts working from StoreConnect's real conventions. Installing it connects no store and includes no credentials, so you can try it against a non-production org first. [Watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo). CEO Mikel Lindsaar shows an agent connected to a live store, from plain-language prompt to approved change, so your team can judge the workflow before adopting it. ## References [^1]: [The New Stack, "Fixing engineering's biggest time suck: Finding information" (analysis of the Atlassian 2025 report).](https://thenewstack.io/fixing-engineerings-biggest-time-suck-finding-information/){:target="_blank"} [^2]: [Atlassian, "State of Developer Experience Report 2025."](https://www.atlassian.com/blog/developer/developer-experience-report-2025){:target="_blank"} [^3]: [MuleSoft, "2025 Connectivity Benchmark Report" (with Vanson Bourne and Deloitte Digital).](https://www.mulesoft.com/lp/reports/connectivity-benchmark/?d=pb){:target="_blank"} [^4]: [MuleSoft, "Agentic transformation reaches new heights: 2026 Connectivity Benchmark Report insights."](https://blogs.mulesoft.com/agentic-perspectives/connectivity-benchmark-report/){:target="_blank"} [^5]: [StoreConnect, "Build with AI agents."](https://storeconnect.com/ai) [^6]: [StoreConnect, "StoreConnect AI" GitHub repository (README, skills and provider packages).](https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai){:target="_blank"} --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of this site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
