For AI assistants and agents
Tell an assistant. Your stock updates.
Connect ChatGPT, Claude or your own agent to Inventory Now and hand it the chores: the morning low-stock check, typing in a supplier delivery, fixing a category of prices. It works through the Inventory Now MCP server, with the access you give its key and every change in your audit log.
- Nº 1
Admin after closing
Delivery notes, price changes and count corrections pile up. Paste the packing list or describe the change and the assistant records it.
- Nº 2
Questions that need a report
"Which mugs are out of stock?" "Why does this item say 3?" The assistant searches your items and reads the stock history behind each count.

Repetitive edits
Moving a shelf to a new location or adding SKUs to forty items is one request, not forty taps. Read Only keys keep an assistant to looking.
Low stock
A morning check you don't have to do.
Ask "what is low or out of stock?" and the assistant lists the items at or below their low-stock threshold, by location or category if you want. An agent you run on a schedule can do the same each morning and send you the reorder list.
When the order comes in, tell it what arrived. It records a purchase and the stock goes up, exactly as if you had done it in the app.
Orders
Record sales and deliveries in a sentence.
"Sold two large candles to Sam for $48." "Received 24 bags of the house blend from our roaster." The assistant finds the items, records the sale or the purchase, and Shopify, eBay and Etsy quantities follow like any other order.
Made a mistake? Ask it to cancel the order and the stock goes back.
Catalog clean-up
Bulk edits without the spreadsheet.
Give an assistant a supplier list and it adds the items with names, categories, SKUs, prices and photo links. Ask it to move everything in the garage to Shelf B, raise a category's prices or set low-stock thresholds, and it works through the items one by one.
Deleted the wrong thing? Deleted items are kept with their orders and can be restored.
