What agents can do
Rubikc is built so that an agent can do the work. Admin is one way into your Space; an agent is another, with almost the same reach.
That is a design decision rather than a side effect. The things a merchant spends their time on — building cubes, writing content, arranging feeds, importing, checking analytics — are all available to an agent.
What an agent can change
Section titled “What an agent can change”| Area | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Cubes | Create, update, search and publish cubes, mark them as drafts, schedule when they go live, and set relations between them |
| Blocks | Write and edit content in every language, edit overlays, and restore an earlier draft of a block. An agent looks up what each block type is for, and where it can go, before writing. |
| Versions | Arrange which blocks appear, and in what order, including shared blocks, surveys, and generated blocks, and set how a generated block looks on a version. Agents can insert, move, or remove one block without replacing the whole version, including across every language at once. A language can have several versions of one link. An agent can duplicate a version and run a traffic split between them, then read how each version did. The Admin controls for that split may not be on every account. |
| Shared blocks | Create and edit content reused across cubes, including promoting a cube’s own block into a shared block |
| Surveys | Create, edit, and delete a survey, and place it on a version |
| Feed | Configure the feed and what is pinned |
| Structure | Menus and cube groupings |
| Categories and filters | Sync categories from Shopify, rename or hide categories, filters and values, create your own, set a cube’s category and values, and arrange the storefront filter bar |
| Sources | Run imports, work through the Inbox, set up Automations, and turn source material into cubes |
| Files | Upload and organise media, including videos up to 100 MiB |
| Brand | Appearance, the visitor tutorial, block defaults, the content playbook, General, and SEO |
| Localization | The default language, which languages visitors can switch to, and a refresh from Shopify. See Localization |
| Onboarding | Work through setup |
What an agent can read
Section titled “What an agent can read”Analytics for your Space and individual cubes, session detail, survey results, sync and transform logs, and the overall shape of your Space.
Reading is where agents are most immediately useful, because the work is volume — going through every cube against a standard you describe. An agent can check blocks, versions, languages and what is published across every cube in a Space, then open only the cubes that need a change.
What an agent cannot touch
Section titled “What an agent cannot touch”Deliberately out of reach:
- Integrations. Connecting or re-authorising Shopify, Instagram and the rest.
- Your domain. DNS and custom domains.
- Checkout and Smart Cart settings.
- Access. Members, invitations, and who can reach your Spaces.
This holds whoever connected the agent — an owner’s agent cannot reach these either. An agent can only work in the Spaces its person can reach.
These are the settings where a mistake is expensive or hard to undo, and they stay with you.
Working across systems
Section titled “Working across systems”An assistant is not limited to Rubikc. MCP is an open standard, so the same assistant can be connected to Rubikc and to your other tools at once — and act across them in a single piece of work.
That makes some things possible that neither system could do alone:
An SEO tool reports that a set of product pages have thin descriptions. The assistant reads that list, finds the matching cubes in Rubikc, drafts better content for each, and leaves it unpublished for you to review.
The pattern is the same whatever the other system: something else finds the problem, Rubikc is where it gets fixed. Because almost all of a Space is reachable by an agent, the fix does not have to come back to a person to be typed in by hand.
What this does not mean
Section titled “What this does not mean”Two things make the difference between an agent that helps and one that creates work:
- Fill in your content playbook. It is the guidance an agent works from.
- Keep publishing for yourself. See Working safely with an agent.
