The backstory
Copysmith's pitch was volume: thousands of product descriptions for a catalogue. Real work in 2022. Today a fifty-line script over a frontier API does the same job at a fraction of the cost, and Shopify, Amazon and every major storefront generate listing copy natively. Bulk generation is now a feature of the platform you already sell on, not a subscription you add to it.
