Shopify Ceo Tobi Lutke Shared An Internal Memo on X on Monday That Stressed The Importance of Using Ai Effectively in Daily Tasks. In Fact, He Wrote, Using Ai is now a “Fundamental Expectation” of Shopify Employees.
Spotify product designers are expected to use ai tools to do all platform feature prototypes. The results, lutke says, are more exploratory and faster to produce and share. Shopify Alredy provides employees with access to various ai coding tools from github (Copilot), Cursor, and Anthropic (Claude Code).
“Our task here at shopify is to make our software unquestionable Believed it was about to be leaked anyhow. “We do this by Keeping Everyone Cutting Edge and Bringing all the best tools to bear.. For that we need to be absolutely ahead.”
Lutke saying his company will judge employers in performance reviews on how well they know and use ai tools. Employees are expected to continue to learn about and experience with new ai tools, and share their fandings within the company.

But the new focus on ai tools such as anthropic’s claude and github’s copilot may not end at helping clients. Lutke says that before shopify hires any more humans to work at the company, the hiring manners must explain why an ai tool couldnys to do the job.
“(T) EAMS must demonstrate why they cannot get they want do using ai,” He Wrote. “What would this area look like if autonomous ai agents were alredy part of the team?”
