After buying a brand, the owner has Claude read the Amazon search and ads reports, work out the search terms that matter, check the listing text against them and propose changes. He also uses AI-built scripts to watch for lost Amazon stock or a product dropping out of search.
How it went
The owner says the review used to take him between 2 and 10 hours depending on how many products a brand has. He also says AI let him take on a Shopify site and Meta ads that he would previously have ignored.
Worth knowing
This is one owner's own account in a Hacker News comment, with no figures for sales or ad results. He describes one supplier-tracking tool as finicky and hard to repair. Check any listing change before publishing, and keep Amazon's listing rules in mind.
