How to Use the Best eCommerce AI | Find, Design & Source A Product With Accio

So guys, if you're all involved in a product business in 2026, you're probably using at least five different tools on a day to day basis, right? Or platforms of not 15 or 20. I don't have to tell you this. You know it. If you're all involved in this world and that's thousands of dollars per year and more importantly, dozens of hours of your time and your team's time per week. And most of that, despite AI, despite us living in 2026 is still done manually. But what if there was one AI agent that does all of that? So trend analysis across social media and e-commerce production already designs, the factories can actually manufacture and multi-platform sourcing to find the best supplier at the best price and all in one platform in one workflow with one AI agent. That is what I'm going to show you and walk through step by step in this video. I think you're going to love it. Let's go. And you may already know what I'm talking about and that's Axio, which I'm a big fan of and I've been using for a long time now, but Axio is being re-imagined for the Axio 2.0 launch. And in this video I'm going to show you why the Axio 2.0 launch and upgrades are the biggest upgrades to product sourcing and development that I've seen in a while and how this will impact your workflows and SOPs and make you and your team more productive as a professional in the product business. And so as far as the current state of this goes, we want to compress three major things into one workflow. That's going to be figuring out what to sell and why using actual data. Number two, designing something that you can actually hand to manufacturers. And then number three, actually finding the manufacturers that are best for that product. So that whole process from trend research to actually locking down a supplier and that's freelancers, that's VAs, that's your team's time. And the connective tissue there is manual. So it's that workflow that we're compressing into one natural language workflow with Axio 2.0. And so if you're not familiar with Axio at all, essentially what it is is the world's first AI sourcing agent developed by Alibaba.com that is built specifically for product first businesses. And it's built on the Alibaba.com sourcing expertise. That's 25 years of B2B commerce experience, plus 1.5 million sellers and 400 million products in their database. That is the intelligence, right? The hive mind that informs the Axio agent. When I first tried Axio, it was in beta, like no one was using it. And now over 3 million professionals and consultants and procurement professionals globally are on it, which is really cool to see personally. And so there are three capabilities that I want to touch on for Axio 2.0 before we dive into demos in my computer. So you can see exactly what I'm talking about here. So number one is trend analysis. And what Axio 2.0 does is it fuses social media data and e-commerce sales data to spot the next big product opportunity across every domain. This isn't just Google trends, right? This is deep analysis across TikTok, Instagram, Amazon, retail, wholesale, just every data source out there that you would want for real data back research gets rolled into one into the mind, so to speak, of this agent. The number two is the production ready design aspect of a product business. And so Axio 2.0 generates tech packs that factories can actually use. We're talking bill of materials, construction details, product specs, measurements, everything the manufacturer needs to quote and produce your product. And that's whatever product you can imagine just by talking with the agent. And that eliminates a lot of that need to go back and forth with designers and any miscommunications with factories and just a lot of the labor and cost and time and money that comes with that. And then third and finally, you get multi-platform sourcing. You will find the best supplier at the best price because you're inside of the Alibaba.com network and global sources and 1688 just everywhere. And there's some other cool add-ons there. Again, I want to show you all of that. And so that in mind, let's dive into my computer to go over that part one of this holistic workflow, that being the trend and research component. OK, now, quickly, if you want to support the channel and you want an exclusive free trial link to try out Axio as we're demoing in this video, so you can just follow along and learn better. Just drop a comment with the word Axio, A-C-C-I-O or click the link in the description. Again, that's a free trial and it helps support the channel. So let's just jump into it. What I'm going to do is select thinking mode as opposed to fast right here. And then I'll give Axio this prompt. So what are the emerging trends in the home wellness space and products for 2026? So show me products that are gaining traction on social media and are starting to see commercial demand. So this is that first layer of market research you would want to do. And let's just see how the agent goes about. So it's given us a plan on what it's going to do. This looks good to me. So I'm going to go ahead and start now. OK, and it's done. We can see that 63 sources were referenced. And if we actually search through here, we can see that Instagram, TikTok and the social platforms, as well as the news sites were pulled from to accumulate this data. And then we can click on the document and we can see this report now on home wellness emerging trends. It looks like the big one is Vegas Nerve Stimulation. So it'll give us the size of the market, who it's best for. I don't even know what VOC is. Let's see. Volatile Organic Compounds, VOC which. And then here we can see some of the actual products that it selected. And given this trend, we can see sources, right? So things like TikTok and Amazon. So both products inside of the Alibaba.com network and also these other retailer and wholesaler platforms. Number two looks like targeted longevity. And you can see here as well, right? Search volume for this term, search 234%. That's one of those other data sources I mentioned, which is web traffic that Axio can pull from. And then in this report, we get a final recommendations list. So we get the top three products and why they're recommended for us to sell. And then let me ask a follow up. Let me say, give me a competitor analysis of the e-commerce, VNS and neuromodulation space. Okay. And so we got that report. Let's go ahead and see. This is our VNS and neuromodulation competitor analysis report. So it's going to give us some of the different kind of subfields within the market. And then go ahead and give us the top brands in the space based on the actual sales data. And then we get a deep dive into each of those and the positioning and sentiment, which is again, exactly what you would spend. At least I have certainly spent many hours doing before and we can get that in a minute here. There's something I want to note here on just the format side is we can go ahead and just click download here in the top right. Then I can open that PDF and we can get this in a report where you can just, you know, send it to an employee or a team member in this nicer, tighter PDF form. Let's be nice to the AI. Thank you Axio. And with that, we will wrap demo number one. So now we're ready for that second layer in the demo I want to showcase, which is focused around the production ready designs that Axio 2.0 can generate. And again, the big difference here is these are not just mockups. These are the actual elements that you can hand directly to suppliers to go and manufacture your product. The things like a bill of materials, construction details, and then the product and material specs. And so for this demo, I want to start with a product concept that we have, and then we'll see how Axio can help us through that kind of second stage of figuring out the product. Now to illustrate how I came up with this product idea, I was sitting around at home one day and went to get a glass and the glass was a bit dirty with this stuff and that's not good. So I was like, why can't they self purify? And that became a self purifying water bottle. So what I'm going to say to is design a sustainable travel water bottle with integrated water filtration systems. And then we're going to ask for that production ready tech pack. We're going to leave it on thinking and we'll click start now. Okay. So now what it did here is I came up with a market strategy and then selected a few products to make, and then it starts us off with the design proposals. So we gave it an idea for a product. Now it's saying, okay, here are the options. Here's what it could look like. And it actually came up with a cohesive approach, right? The strategy, the concept for the design, and then actually generated. You can see design images of mock-ups here with a, you know, and so on with these other generated images. And these are products that don't exist at all, right? These are, these are brand new. It's saying right here, peak Vanguard is its recommendation. Let's scroll up. That's going to be this one right here. And so if we scroll down, we can see the production tech pack for the peak Vanguard product. Again, this is one prompt. There have been no follow-on prompts here, and it actually generated these again. This does not exist. This was just created by the agent in about, you know, two minutes with one prompt, and we can see the actual bill of materials, design images, et cetera. These are some product specs, and we have the process to make it, and then so on right here. If we scroll down, we can see that bill of materials. So the various materials that are required for it, and then the material construction specifications, and then compliance and safety analysis requirements. And then it tells us, hey, here are the other things I can do. Market validation is one part of it, but also detailed prototyping, BOM refinements, and then demo number three, which we're going to get to supplier matching in a minute. But first let's just double down, right? They gave us a few options. Let's say, hey, I like the peak Vanguard product you came up with. Proceed with BOM refinements and detailed prototyping. So we want to push it. We want to see how good it can get with this tech pack set of materials, and let's go. We can see that these various individual reports were generated and documented. Let's go ahead and click on the first, and that's going to be the BOM refinement with a target cost range of somewhere between $10 and $15. That'll depend on the supplier we go with. And we can see sourcing analysis, material evaluation, and you can see, I mean, there is science behind this, right? This was very thought out. I'm just skipping over it here, but this is something we could spend an hour just reading and talking through. And so then we get to this revised bill of materials, a little more specific with the six parts, the cost of each, and then the cumulative cost. And it's also starting to show us some of those core components and the cost that we can get there. So I'll exit out of there that we can see the prototyping package. This is a 3D printing guide with actual prototype files that were generated here. If we exit out of that, we can see the validation checklist for the actual pass fail criteria for various parts and for the product as a whole is tying to them to regulation within this specific space. So that's, I think that is literally everything we need. And I think you can start to see by now how this flow works, right? So we start off with the market research, competitor analysis, then we can very seamlessly shift into, okay, now we wanna double down on what the product actually is, the specifications, the regulation. And then where I think Axio really shines is what this third demo is gonna be. And that is the third big feature, which is the supplier matching and sourcing. And that's because, right, this is part of Alibaba.com, which is the world's biggest e-commerce supplier. You're talking one and a half million suppliers, like I mentioned. And Axio 2.0 pulls from not just Alibaba.com, but also 1688 and global sources. So it pulls in essentially the world's largest network of suppliers with the same quantum of intelligence that you've seen from the agent thus far. So let's just proceed with this same product, right? We have the product. Now I'm gonna paste this prompt. So find suppliers who've manufactured this water bottle with the filtration system. And we want a priority on verified suppliers who are experienced in this case. And let's click search. Okay, so we can see the suppliers organized via Alibaba.com and then global sites as well. And the feature I really wanna double click on here are the matches. So the agent comes off with a list of things that's looking for criteria for the suppliers and then tells you how many matches it finds for those. So for example, here we can see it matches three of the four kind of requirements that the agent thinks are the most important. And we can see the top four supplier choices right here. And these are also verified manufacturers. They're not middlemen, which is a great another feature of Alibaba.com. If we click on global sites, we can also see these other suppliers right here. So description of the supplier, when they were established, and then an email that we can use to contact them. And the nice thing about the Alibaba.com suppliers is that we can directly send inquiry letters and the agent can write them for us within the Axio system. Let's go ahead and say yes, draft an RFQ for the top suppliers. We'll click start now. Okay, and here we can see the RFQs, so the cover letters. Now if I scroll up here and I click send inquiry, I can go ahead and paste that letter. I can enter my details and then click send now. And it's a done deal. I have a supplier for my product or open to that conversation where I can discuss to make sure it's a fit. And there you go, that's the whole flow. We just went from an idea of a market or a space we're interested in all the way through to a very specific novel product and the suppliers that can help us bring it into the world. Okay guys, so you've seen all of it now. I think, I hope you're as impressed as I am.
