About

I build small, sharp tools for Shopify merchants. PositionBird tracks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude recommend your store when shoppers ask what to buy, shows which competitor gets named instead, and writes the content that changes the answer. Before that I built StatusBird, which tells a store the moment it goes down. I run every AI engine through its real API, publish the methodology, and keep hash-stamped evidence for every answer, because "trust me" is not a metric. Solo founder, ships weekly. Try the free scan at positionbird.io and tell me what it got wrong.

What's your biggest pain point with third-party outages?

Hey everyone! We're launching StatusBird tomorrow: uptime monitoring built specifically for e-commerce store owners.

Curious to hear from the community: have you ever lost sales because Stripe, Shopify, or another service went down and you didn't know about it until it was too late? How did you find out?
