CatZ FAQs

CatZCommerce was born out of one frustrating Sunday afternoon, a broken FAQ widget, and a very stubborn cat who refused to give up. Today we help 2,400+ Shopify merchants turn support headaches into self-serve superpowers — powered by AI.

Mission

Make every Shopify store answer-ready

We believe no customer should ever send a support email asking "What's your return policy?" Great FAQs eliminate friction, build trust, and let merchants focus on what they do best — selling.

AI That Actually Works

Our model is trained on 50,000+ real Shopify FAQ pages. It knows the difference between a good answer and a copy-paste.

Built for Merchants

No developer needed. No complex setup. Install the app, click Generate, and your FAQ page is live in under 5 minutes.

SEO-First Output

Every FAQ is structured with FAQ schema markup so Google indexes your answers directly in search results.

Our Values

What we stand for

Kawaii First

We believe commerce should be delightful. Every interaction — from FAQ pages to onboarding — should make merchants smile.

Cat Speed

Move fast, build smart. We ship features weekly and learn from real merchants, not boardroom assumptions.

Always Listening

Support is our north star. We read every ticket, reply to every review, and ship fixes the same day whenever we can.

No Drama

Simple pricing, clear docs, no dark patterns. We'd rather earn $29/mo with your trust than $99/mo with your frustration.

The Crew

Meet the cats

A small team with big paws. We're four humans (and an unofficial office cat) working remotely across Tokyo, Seoul, and Amsterdam.

Taro Neko

CEO & Co-founder

Former Shopify Partner of the Year. Built his first store in 2015, realized FAQs were broken, quit his job to fix it.

Hana Mochi

CTO & Co-founder

Ex-Google engineer obsessed with NLP. Taught a model to write better FAQ answers than most human support agents.

Sora Paw

Head of Design

Classically trained graphic designer turned product designer. Responsible for every rounded corner and offset shadow you see.

Kiku Zai

Head of Growth

Three-time Shopify app launcher. Knows the App Store algorithm better than some Shopify employees. Cat person, obviously.

We're growing the crew 🐾

Looking for a senior React engineer and a customer success specialist. Remote-first, async-friendly, cat-optional.
