[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). ## The pace of new AI tools is outrunning most teams Organizations are running more AI than ever. MuleSoft's 2025 Connectivity Benchmark found the average number of AI models in use doubled in a year, from nine to 18[^1], and its 2026 research found 68% of IT leaders struggle to stay current with emerging AI agent standards and protocols[^2]. StoreConnect publishes the same skills for every major AI tool from one open repository. Grok Build gets the same 13 skills as every other tool, plus five specialist agents and three slash commands, so your StoreConnect knowledge stays the same whichever tool your team prefers this quarter[^3]. ## A new tool without platform knowledge produces confident, wrong answers The first weeks with a new AI tool are when trust is lowest and errors are highest. Stack Overflow's 2025 survey found 66% of developers struggle with AI solutions that are "almost right, but not quite," and only 3% highly trust AI output[^4]. An assistant new to your platform makes that worse. With the skills installed, Grok Build knows StoreConnect's Liquid templates, theme structure, forms, point of sale and Salesforce object model from the first session, so the evaluation is about the tool, not about re-teaching the platform. ## A tool your team is still evaluating shouldn't get wide access to your store Trying a new tool is a sensible time to be cautious. IBM's 2025 research found 97% of organizations reporting an AI-related breach lacked proper AI access controls[^5]. StoreConnect's connection treats every tool the same way. The agent signs in as the person using it and inherits exactly their access, and any write goes through the same staged review flow[^6]. The plugin's commands confirm which store and environment you're connected to before anything changes. Our recommendation is to start with a non-production org. ## Keep what your team knows, whichever tool it's using Your platform knowledge is too valuable to rebuild every time the tooling changes. [Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers). Install StoreConnect from the xAI plugin marketplace, which brings the skills, agents and commands together. Installing it connects no store and includes no credentials. [Watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo). CEO Mikel Lindsaar shows an agent connected to a live store and the approval flow every change goes through, so you can judge the workflow independent of the tool. ## References [^1]: [Salesforce, "Integration key as 93% of IT leaders turn to AI agents amid soaring resource demands."](https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/connectivity-report-announcement-2025/){:target="_blank"} [^2]: [MuleSoft, "Agentic transformation reaches new heights: 2026 Connectivity Benchmark Report insights."](https://blogs.mulesoft.com/agentic-perspectives/connectivity-benchmark-report/){:target="_blank"} [^3]: [StoreConnect, "StoreConnect AI" GitHub repository (README, skills and provider packages).](https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai){:target="_blank"} [^4]: [Stack Overflow, "2025 Developer Survey: AI."](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/ai){:target="_blank"} [^5]: [IBM, "Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025" newsroom release (research conducted by Ponemon Institute).](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2025-07-30-ibm-report-13-of-organizations-reported-breaches-of-ai-models-or-applications,-97-of-which-reported-lacking-proper-ai-access-controls){:target="_blank"} [^6]: [StoreConnect, "Build with AI agents."](https://storeconnect.com/ai) --- ## 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.
