Dorris

One app instead of all those subscriptions.

We build it with AI for a fraction of what you pay now, and we never charge a monthly fee.

$1,500 once, with the first feature built in. $1,000 for each extra feature. Your own AI plan and hosting are yours to pay: what that costs.

Our own Dorris, the one app that replaced our rented apps, with every customer, order and number made up. A support inbox with each customer's email in the middle and, on the right, the order history, tracking and address that the app looked up. The sidebar lists what else it does now: PO tracking, bundles, CRM, invoices, analytics, warranty and more.

What you pay now, and what you'd pay once

A support inbox app cost us about $500 a month (our estimate). Rented apps charge every month; this is built once. Not sure what yours add up to? Add them up.

Questions

What is Dorris?

Dorris is one app that replaces the apps your Shopify store rents, built with AI and owned by you. We build yours for $1,500 including the first feature, $1,000 for each extra feature, with no monthly fee from us and no maintenance plan, and train you to run it. Prefer to build it yourself? The kit is $249, with a 14-day refund.

Is Dorris the same as Dori (dori.tech)?

No. Dorris (getdorris.com) builds one app to replace the apps a Shopify store rents, or you build it yourself with the Dorris kit. It is not Dori, the company at dori.tech, and the two are not connected.

Are you affiliated with Anthropic?

No. The lessons use Claude, which Anthropic makes, but we're not affiliated with Anthropic.

Why we built it

We run a tent company and none of us write code. We asked an AI to build one app to replace the apps we were renting, and now it runs the business. Read the story

Stuck?

Paste this first

Something broke

I just did this: <what you clicked or typed, in a few words>
This is what I got: <paste the error here, or drag in a screenshot>

I don't know what it means. Work out what went wrong and fix it. Then tell me in one plain sentence what was wrong and what you changed, and stop.

Is this really for you?

7 of 7 Building your app means using an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT on a paid monthly plan. Are you OK with that?
