DX
Application
DX AI is a conversational interface for exploring an organization's engineering data held in DX, described by the vendor as 'the copilot for engineering leaders.' It answers natural-language questions with generated charts, summarizes qualitative snapshot data into themes and sentiment, and diagnoses the drivers behind metric changes. Its data can also be streamed into external LLM clients via the DX MCP server.
Developer tool
AI Code Insights measures what AI coding agents produce inside an engineering organization, tracking AI-generated code by commit, PR, team, agent and repo from IDE to production. It attributes authorship by monitoring supported coding agents' edits and links them to commits, pull requests and deployments, reporting adoption, delivery velocity, code-quality signals and session-level agent performance. It includes the Agent Experience report, which scores requirements clarity, steering and task scope from the agent's perspective.
Command-line interface to a DX instance, built so coding agents can drive it: it ships an agent skill telling an agent when and how to call the CLI, and covers the same catalog, scorecard and self-service operations a human uses the dashboard for.
Fabric is DX's context layer for AI agents, marketed as 'the context engine for AI-native engineering.' It turns an organization's software catalog into structured, live context that agents can query, and adds scorecards and self-service automation so agents can create services, provision infrastructure and resolve failing standards checks. Context is exposed to any MCP-compatible agent via the DX MCP server.
Shopify
Application
AI commerce assistant built into the Shopify admin that designs store pages, writes product copy, edits product photos and handles day-to-day store-management tasks from a chat prompt.
Developer tool
A developer toolkit distributed as editor plugins, agent skills and an MCP server that connects AI coding agents to Shopify's developer docs, API schema validation and authenticated CLI store-management tasks.
No counterpart
DX sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Shopify yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
The DX MCP server exposes a customer's DX data to MCP-compatible AI clients such as Claude, Cursor and Devin Desktop. It is deliberately read-only, offering tools to list and retrieve software catalog entities, scorecards and initiatives, and teams, plus execution of SQL queries against the DX Data Cloud PostgreSQL database. It is available as a DX-hosted remote endpoint at ai.getdx.com/mcp or run locally from DX's open-source dx-mcp-server repository.

AI agent
An early-access marketing tool that generates and runs AI-optimised paid and organic ad campaigns across supported channels from the Shopify admin.
Platform
Structures a merchant's product catalogue via Shopify Catalog so AI chat platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini can surface and sell the merchant's products, with every sale routed through Shopify Checkout.
