Show IH: Copylio — an AI tool to generate SEO-optimized ecommerce product descriptions from a product link
Hey Indie Hackers đź‘‹
I’m Arth Sharma, and I wanted to share something I’ve been building.
What is it?
Copylio is a small AI tool that helps ecommerce store owners generate SEO-optimized, buyer-focused product descriptions in one click.
The problem I was trying to solve
Writing product descriptions was always the most repetitive and time-consuming part for me.
Even with ChatGPT, I still had to copy product details, tweak prompts, and then clean up the structure for SEO and readability.
What Copylio does
- Paste a product link (or product details)
- Copylio extracts the key information
- Generates a structured, SEO-friendly product description
- Ready to use on your store without extra editing
Why I built it this way
The goal isn’t “more AI text” — it’s less manual work and more consistent structure across product pages.
What I’m looking for
I’d really appreciate feedback from the community:
- Is link-based extraction useful for you?
- What makes a product description actually convert?
- What would make this a no-brainer to use?
Trying it out
Copylio includes 10 free generations and no card required.

Thanks for checking it out — happy to answer questions or take feedback 🙏
Hey Arth,
Saw you're working on Copylio, especially the part where you generate SEO-optimized product descriptions in one click from a product link.
Quick question: How do you validate if users are actually willing to pay for this feature? I’m exploring a video validation method but don’t want to build in a bubble.
Not selling anything—still in the early stage, just looking to chat 10 minutes with someone practical like you and exchange validation ideas.
Would you be open to it?

Hi Jone,
Thanks for reaching out. Happy to share what’s worked for me so far around validation. I’m still early too, but comparing free usage vs. paid conversion and real store feedback has been useful.
A quick 10-minute chat sounds fine. Let me know a couple of time options.
Best,
Arth
Hi Arth,
Thanks for the quick reply!
One heads-up: English isn't my first language (I'm Chinese), but I've prepared
3 specific questions about your validation approach. I might speak slowly,
but I promise the questions will be sharp.
How about one of these times?
My email: [email protected]
(I'll send the Zoom/Google Meet link once you confirm)
Looking forward to learning from your experience.
Best,
Jone
Hi Jone,
No worries at all — thanks for the note.
Friday at 10:00 AM EST works for me.
Happy to chat and exchange validation ideas.
You can send the meeting link to [email protected].
Best,
Arth
Perfect — Friday 10:00 AM EST is locked in.
Sending the Zoom link and calendar invite to [email protected] now.
Looking forward to swapping notes on validation approaches on Friday.
Cheers
This is a solid start, but as-is hard to see how Copylio beats not just generic AI, but tools with real conversion proof and structured SEO workflows — raw “one-click” output isn’t enough when margins and rankings are on the line.
If you’re serious about helping e-commerce founders actually sell more, you need real case studies showing measurable impact on traffic and conversions — that’s the hook that makes people hire expertise, not just try a freebie.
Happy to share strategy on turning this from a curiosity into a must-buy growth tool for store owners.
That’s fair, and I agree with the core point. One-click output by itself isn’t a moat, and without proof it’s hard to justify switching when margins and rankings matter.
Right now, Copylio is intentionally early-stage — the focus has been reducing friction and validating whether the workflow (link → structured SEO copy) actually saves time and fits real store needs before I start making performance claims. I don’t want to lead with conversion promises until I can back them with data.
Case studies and measurable impact are definitely the direction I want to move toward once a few stores are consistently using it and I can run proper comparisons.
I’d genuinely appreciate any advice on what you’ve seen work best when turning early tools like this into something store owners trust enough to pay for — happy to learn from that experience.
Totally get it — validating the workflow first is smart. From experience, the key is showing small, tangible wins early (time saved, SEO lifts, higher conversions) even with a few stores — it builds trust and naturally primes users to pay once you have solid data.
The 10 free generations in Copylio is a great way to make it easy for people to try it out.
I spent 8 months building a SaaS that launched with no customers, so I know how important it is to show people the value of your product early on.
Here are a few ideas:
How are you currently collecting feedback from users and making changes to Copylio?
Really appreciate this — and thanks for sharing your experience. The 8-month no-customer phase is something I’m very aware of, which is why I wanted to lower the barrier with free generations upfront.
A/B testing is definitely on the roadmap. Right now I’m focused on getting early users and qualitative feedback first (does this actually save time, does the structure fit their store), before running formal comparisons at scale.
Bulk generation is also something I’m actively considering for larger stores — a few people have already mentioned catalog-level workflows, so that’s a strong signal.
At the moment, most feedback is coming directly from early users and conversations on Indie Hackers / DMs, and I’m iterating pretty quickly based on what causes friction or confusion.
Out of curiosity, when you were in that early stage, what helped you the most in turning initial feedback into your first real traction?
This looks like a very useful tool — especially the way it generates SEO-optimized ecommerce descriptions from a product link. I’m curious how you handle brand voice variation across different niches or tones (e.g., playful vs premium)? Does the AI adapt dynamically or need prompts for style? Would love to see examples!
Thanks — really appreciate that question.
Brand voice is actually a big focus for me. Copylio lets you select tone and buyer intent (e.g., playful, premium, minimal, professional), and the AI adapts the structure and language dynamically — no prompt writing needed.
Under the hood it adjusts things like sentence length, word choice, benefit framing, and CTA style based on the selected tone and niche.
I’m still refining niche-specific defaults, but the goal is consistent voice across products without manual tweaking.
Happy to share a couple of examples if you’d like — let me know what niche or tone you’re curious about.
Congrats on the launch! The link-based extraction is a smart angle — removes the friction of manually copying/pasting product details.
One thought on conversion: ecommerce owners care about rankings and sales, not just "descriptions." If you can show how Copylio descriptions perform vs. their current ones (even one A/B test case study), that becomes a no-brainer.
Also worth testing: bulk generation for stores with 100+ products. One-click rewrite of an entire catalog could be a higher-tier pricing play.
Good luck!
I aslo need some advise on selling it. i have zero experience in marketing so i don't know how do place my Saas in front of the potential users. Where to post? Where i will find the Store owners?
Really appreciate this — great points 👍
You’re 100% right about ecommerce owners caring more about rankings and sales than the description itself. A/B-style performance proof is something I’m actively thinking about as the next step.
Bulk generation for large catalogs is also on the roadmap — exactly for the higher-tier use case you mentioned.
Thanks again for taking the time to share thoughtful feedback 🙌
Just drop a comment to show support, Congrats on the launch!
Thanks a lot, really appreciate the support 🙌
Excited to finally ship and see how people use it.
