Personal Tinkering


Week 20, 2026

This week I focused on major improvements to the Woo Mobile AI assistant for WooCommerce’s iOS app. I delivered a three-part stack that replaced raw JSON tool results with typed entity cards, enabling a more native, tap-through chat experience where analytics, order, and product details show up as rich cards that link to their respective detail views. The assistant can now explicitly render analytics cards via show_cards, aligning iOS behavior with Android and making prompt engineering more consistent. I also introduced a curated empty state with interactive suggestions to help merchants discover what they can ask the assistant, and tightened both tool payloads and store-overview logic for better results. Alongside these feature upgrades, I tracked down and removed a set of flaky navigation tests caused by concurrency bugs, then added time limits for more reliable CI runs. On the server side, I contributed to the WooCommerce core project by extending POS order checks to support Stripe terminal payments, improving email logic for mobile POS orders.
