The reality

Most "AI" inside ecommerce brands is ChatGPT for email subject lines.

Generic AI consultants sell you a chatbot. SaaS vendors sell you another dashboard. Meanwhile your inventory planner is a 47-tab spreadsheet, your daily profitability tracking is still a manual Excel email at 9am, and your ad pipeline is bottlenecked on one creator producing 4 statics a week.

We're not generic AI consultants. We're a fractional CFO firm with $650M+ in managed revenue across 35+ portfolio brands. We've been running daily profitability dashboards, SKU-level contribution margin, and customer acquisition models for years. The AI we build replaces the manual finance and ops work we already know how to do correctly. That's the difference.

Inside an Eightx AI engagement

What you walk away with.

2 weeks

Assessment + ROI-ranked roadmap

Mapped operations, audited data, and the 3 highest-ROI AI use cases ranked by payback period — so you know what to build first and why.

30 days

First production agent live

A working AI agent shipped into your stack within 30 days of kickoff — ad creator, landing-page generator, daily P&L, or forecasting agent depending on the assessment.

90 days

2–3 agents + the infra they sit on

Implementation sprint deliverable: 2–3 production AI agents, custom connectors, secure MCP servers, and the data plumbing — built on Anthropic Claude in your AWS/GCP or Eightx infrastructure.

Quarterly

New agents + team enablement

Ongoing partnership maintains your agents, ships a new one each quarter as use cases surface, and trains your team to extend them. The AI grows with the business instead of decaying.

How it works

Three steps. First agent live in 30 days.

Assessment

Two weeks. We map your operations, talk to your team, audit your data, and identify the 3 highest-ROI AI use cases for your business.

Build

90-day implementation sprint. We ship the first AI agent into production within 30 days of starting, then build 2-3 more across the 90 days. Daily reports, ad creators, landing page generators, forecasting agents -- whatever your assessment surfaced.

Operate

Ongoing partnership. We maintain the agents, build new ones each quarter as new use cases surface, and train your team to extend them. The AI grows with your business.

What we've actually built

Real AI agents shipped to real ecommerce brands. Anonymized.

Ad creative scaling

500 static ads/week, stable CAC

Multi-channel fashion DTC brand. Pre-AI: 4 ads/week from a contractor. Post-AI: 500 ads/week, automated copy, automated landing page variants. Daily ad spend climbed from $180 to $340 with no CAC increase.

Landing page generation

4 landing pages over a weekend

Same brand. Used to wait 2-4 weeks per landing page through an external Shopify partner. Built an AI tool that generates conversion-focused pages directly into Shopify. 4 new pages live in a weekend. Vendor dependency eliminated.

Daily profitability tracking

Automated daily P&L delivered to inbox

Multiple Eightx clients now receive a daily report at 9am: revenue by channel, ad spend, blended ROAS, contribution margin, cash position. Replaces the manual Excel workflow most brands inherit from their first finance hire.

SKU-level forecasting

220,000 SKUs, AI replacing manual planning

Apparel-heavy ecommerce brand. 220K size-SKUs across multiple Shopify stores plus a 12-year-old legacy ERP. Building an agent that ingests historical sales, inventory levels, and stock-out events to generate SKU-level demand forecasts and replenishment recommendations.

Wholesale email agent

AI drafts personalized wholesale outbound

Multi-channel fashion brand with hundreds of wholesale accounts. Built an AI agent that drafts wholesale emails personalized by account history, current inventory, and upcoming season. Sales rep reviews and sends. Throughput tripled.

Legacy ERP automation

Agent that pulls data out of a 12-year-old system

Same 220K-SKU brand. Their RLM ERP requires manual report exports for receipt feeds and inventory-in-transit. Building an agent that automates the export-clean-consolidate cycle so daily planning data is current instead of 7 days stale.

The stack

Anthropic Claude. MCP servers. Your data stays yours.

We build on Anthropic Claude for the underlying model and MCP servers for secure data integration. Custom connectors hook into whatever you already run -- Shopify, Meta, Google Merchant Center, Klaviyo, Attentive, Triple Whale, Pinterest. For sensitive engagements we deploy in your AWS or GCP environment. For simpler ones we host on Eightx infrastructure with scoped API tokens that rotate. Your data never goes through a third-party SaaS analytics product.

Honest positioning

Who we're not for.

Customer-service chatbots. Buy Intercom Fin or Decagon. We don't compete there.
"AI strategy" decks without implementation. Our deliverables are working agents, not slides.
Non-ecommerce businesses. SaaS, services, healthcare, manufacturing. Hire a specialist.
Enterprise data warehouse work. If your real problem is Snowflake architecture or dbt models, hire a data engineering firm.
Six-figure budgets before any operating value. Our assessment is $7,500. We push back on engagements that don't validate ROI in the first 60 days.

Common questions

What founders ask before booking the assessment.

How does an Eightx AI Enablement engagement work?

Three steps. Step 1: a 2-week assessment to identify the highest-value AI use cases for your operation. Step 2: build the first AI agent and ship it live within 30 days of starting. Step 3: ongoing partnership where we maintain agents, build new ones each quarter, and train your team. Most brands recoup the assessment cost from the first agent's labor savings within 60 days.

How much does it cost?

The 2-week assessment is $7,500. Most brands run a 90-day implementation sprint after that for $25,000–$45,000 fixed-fee, which includes the first 2–3 production agents and the data infrastructure they sit on. Ongoing partnership runs $4,000–$8,000 per month.

What AI agents has Eightx built?

Recent examples (anonymized). A multi-channel fashion DTC brand: AI ad creator that produced 500 static ads in a week, doubling daily ad spend from $180 to $340 with stable CAC. Same brand: an AI tool that generates conversion-focused landing pages directly into Shopify — 4 pages live over a weekend. A 220,000-SKU apparel brand: SKU-level demand forecasting on top of a legacy ERP. Multiple clients: automated daily profitability dashboards delivered to inbox.

What's the technology stack?

Anthropic Claude as the underlying model. MCP servers for secure data integration. Custom connectors for Shopify, Meta, Google Merchant Center, Klaviyo, Attentive, Triple Whale, and Pinterest. Your data stays in your infrastructure — we never ship it to third-party SaaS analytics tools.

Why a fractional CFO firm for AI?

Generic AI consultancies build chatbots. Eightx builds AI that ties to financial outcomes — because we already run finance for $650M+ in managed revenue across 35+ portfolio brands. We know what good looks like for daily profitability tracking, customer acquisition modeling, inventory turnover, and contribution margin. The agents we build improve the numbers because we built them as CFOs first.
