The code a job needs, with every version kept.
When a store job needs code, Kai writes it: a store-hours widget, a tracking fix, a script that cleans up a sales file. He works as an AI developer and keeps every version.
What this costs you today.
Small code jobs wait in a developer's queue: a banner, a page fix, a script to tidy a file. Each one needs a brief, a quote and a check.

One system, not a tool for every job
Stop buying a tool for every job.
The biggest promise of AI is consolidation. The same kind of software that can drive a car can write the reply to your email. So buying one point solution per job, each with its own login, contract and agency, now wastes money.
Judge software the way you’d judge a hire: by the range of work it can take on. That’s what to look for now: one system you can point at many jobs. Ocally is that for your stores: Kai and two people across listings, reviews, local search, social, AI answers, pricing, inventory and store routines, at every store.
Not sure what you could consolidate? Bring your list of tools and what they cost to a free consultation, and we’ll go through it with you.

What Kai does.
Writes code for the job
A store page needs an hours widget, or a sales file needs cleaning. Kai writes the code for that job, in JavaScript or a shell script.
Runs and tests it first
He runs it in that job's own workspace. A page build opens in a real browser at phone and desktop sizes and is checked before review.
Shows you the change
Each change is saved as a new version in the Code Store. Kai explains it in plain words and shows it beside the live version.
Waits for your yes
Nothing goes live until you approve that exact version. If a release fails, the live version stays, and any earlier version can come back.
What it unlocks.
Small fixes stop waiting for a developer
A wrong banner or a missing page section is fixed inside the job that found it, then sent to you for approval.
Routines that run themselves
A script that checks this week's sales file or tidies a supplier sheet runs again every week, on the schedule you set.
Work gets done where there's no connection
Every job has a real browser, so Kai can read a supplier's site or check a live page the way a person would.
Your part
You approve. Every code change before it goes live, one exact version at a time.
You give. The job in plain words and what done looks like. Kai asks for any access the job needs.
Questions.
Can AI write code for a retail chain?
Yes, for clear, well-scoped jobs. Kai writes code when a store job needs it, like an hours widget on a store page or a script that cleans a sales file. He runs it in a separate workspace, saves every version and waits for a person's approval before anything goes live.
How is Kai different from an AI code writer?
An AI code writer suggests code for a developer to finish. Kai writes the code inside the store job that needs it, runs it, checks a page build at phone and desktop sizes, and saves each version in the Code Store. Your team reviews a finished change and approves it.
Can Kai add custom code to our website?
Yes. On store pages built with Ocally Pages, and on a WordPress or Shopify site you connect, Kai writes the change, checks it in a real browser and saves it as a new version. Your team can see exactly what changed. It goes live only after you approve it.
Can Kai fix our website tracking?
Yes. Give Kai access to your analytics or tag manager and say in plain words what should be counted, like direction clicks or form sends. He writes the change, tests that each event fires on phone and desktop, and waits for your approval before it goes live.
Who can see and change the code?
Everyone on your team can open the Code Store and read the files and the history of every version. People with edit rights can change a file and save a new version. Kai gets access only to the exact repository his job needs, for that job alone.
