This week I focused on shipping and refining the new AI Assistant feature for the WooCommerce iOS app. I wrapped up a major push leading to its general availability, enabling the local feature flag for all builds and switching the chat model to gpt-4o. I aligned the system prompt and tool catalog with the Android implementation for cross-platform consistency, added privacy-friendly telemetry via Tracks to measure adoption and engagement, and polished onboarding with an undismissable early access notice and in-app feedback channel. I also improved the assistant’s Markdown link handling to restrict unsafe schemes, fixed variation cards missing their images, and made documentation links in chat visibly tappable so merchants have more actionable support. Across the board, it was satisfying to see merchant-facing polish and robust telemetry come together in this release.
