Using the same supplier photos as everyone else is the fastest way to kill your conversion rate.

I built Modelize to fix this. It’s a Shopify app that helps you create high-end product visuals and professional-looking models using AI (Nano Banana 2).

It’s simple, effective, and cheap.

I’m looking for some honest feedback from people actually running traffic right now. Does this solve a pain point for you, or is there a specific feature you’re missing?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that my app, Modelize, is finally live today. I see many people here asking about how long the Shopify review takes and if you can really build apps with AI, so I want to tell you how it went for me.

I run a Shopify agency. My clients always ask for AI photos for their products. For a long time, I was just using some custom Python scripts to do it for them. It worked, but it was a big headache. It took too much time. So I built an app to do it automatically in bulk directly in the admin.

I built the whole thing in about one week. I used Claude Opus 4.6 to write almost all the code. I personally use Visual Studio Code with Github Copilot.

Here is exactly what happened with my calendar:

March 8: I finished the main parts and submitted the app.

April 17: First review feedback received. One minor correction mentioned, I fixed it and responded in 30mins.

April 20 (Today): I am approved and published!

The review line is very long right now (it took me exactly 6 weeks). My advice is: do not wait for your app to be "perfect" before you click submit. If the main feature works and it is useful, just send it.

You will wait 5 or 6 weeks before someone even looks at it. You can use that time to fix small bugs, make the design pretty, or add more features. Just get your place in the line as soon as you can.

If you want to see how it works, the app is not yet well referenced in the app store of course so here is the link: apps.shopify.com/modelize.

You can generate 5 images for free to test it. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Good luck with your apps!

Why I built this

I run a Shopify agency. My clients always ask for AI photos for their products. For a long time, I was just using some custom Python scripts to do it for them. It worked, but it was a big headache because I had to upload everything back to Shopify manually or build custom apps every time. It took too much time. So I built an app to do it automatically in bulk directly in the admin.

How I built it

I built the whole thing in about one week. I used Claude Opus 4.6 to write almost all the code. The app uses Nano Nana 2 to generate the images. I personally use Visual Studio Code with Github Copilot.

My experience with the review

This is the part many of you are waiting for. Here is exactly what happened with my calendar:

March 8: I finished the main parts and submitted the app.

April 17: First review feedback received. One minor correction mentioned, I fixed it and responded in 30mins.

My advice

The review line is very long right now (it took me exactly 6 weeks). My advice is: do not wait for your app to be "perfect" before you click submit. If the main feature works and it is useful, just send it.

You will wait 5 or 6 weeks before someone even looks at it. You can use that time to fix small bugs, make the design pretty, or add more features. Just get your place in the line as soon as you can. Also, make sure you follow the Shopify listing rules perfectly because that is what they check first.

If you want to see how it works, the app is not yet well referenced in the app store of course so here is the link: apps.shopify.com/modelize. You can generate 5 images for free to test it. I would really love to hear your feedback or if you think I should change something to make it better for merchants.

Good luck with your apps!
