Zero Four Five — AI apps. Purpose built. For what's next.

AI apps. Purpose built.
For what’s next.

We build small, sharp AI apps for commerce. Each one takes over a single job a store owner would otherwise do by hand: answering the store chat, writing the social posts, resolving the shipping rules. Then it does that one job properly.

What we
build

Every app carries one job and carries it end to end. No suite, no platform, no dashboard you have to learn. You install the one that fixes the thing costing you hours, and it starts working inside your store.

01

Store Chat AI

Answers customer questions in your store chat, in your voice, using what it knows about your products and orders.

02

Social Posts AI

Turns your catalogue into social posts that sound like your brand rather than like a template.

03

Shipping Rules AI

Takes the shipping logic nobody wants to maintain, all the zones and weight breaks and exceptions, and makes it something you can state in plain words.

Store Chat AI

Launching

Most store chat is a form that emails you later. This one reads the question, knows the catalogue, and answers it. Then it hands the conversation over the moment it hits something only a person should decide.

Job Answer customer questions in the store chat, without a human waiting on them.
Knows Your products, your policies, and the tone you already write in.
Hands over Anything it should not decide alone: refunds, disputes, exceptions.
Runs on Shopify.

Customer will the large fit me? i’m usually a 12 in everything
Store Chat AI A 12 usually lands between our L and XL on this one — it’s cut slim through the shoulder. If you want room to layer, take the XL.
Customer ok and can it get here before saturday
Store Chat AI To a metro address, yes — express orders placed before 2pm today go out the same afternoon. I can hold this in your cart while you decide. Checked: shipping rules
Customer actually i want to return the boots i got last month
Store Chat AI That one needs a person. I’ve passed the whole conversation to the team with your order attached — nobody’s going to ask you to repeat yourself. Handed to a human

04 / ORIGIN

Why 045

Two founders and best mates — Nicholas and Engledow — united by a shared vision and the same sense of direction. The first letters of their surnames form NE — north-east — which on a compass is a bearing of 045°.

That shared direction inspired the name Zero Four Five.

NicholasFounder + EngledowFounder = NENorth-east = 045°Bearing

Built
for you

The apps cover the jobs most stores share. When yours is genuinely its own problem, we build it. This is the work we came from, and it’s the reason the apps are any good.

01

Automation

The repeated manual step someone on your team does forty times a week. Found, understood, and removed.

02

API & backend integrations

Getting Shopify to agree with the systems you already run: ERP, warehouse, accounting, whatever the office actually opens every morning. Their API if they have one, and something that holds if they don’t.

03

Private apps

Functionality that belongs to you and nobody else. Built into your store, not bolted onto it, and not shared with your competitors.

04

Shipping logic

Zones, weight breaks, dimensional rules and carrier splits — the rules too particular for any app to cover, including the one we’re building. This is the logic that quietly breaks checkout when it’s wrong.

06 / COMMS

Talk to
a human

Support for our apps, questions about a custom build, or you just want to know whether the thing you’re imagining is possible. Either way you get a person, not a ticket queue.
