Do you need code or API keys to run a conversion agent?
Short answer: No — a conversion agent needs neither code nor API keys. It runs inside an existing ChatGPT or Claude account, taking a CSV export or a dashboard screenshot as its only input. Setup is measured in minutes, not an integration project, and nothing is installed on your webshop.
What do you actually need?
A ChatGPT or Claude account plus one analytics CSV export — that is the whole requirement. The account can be free or paid; the CSV comes straight from the shop dashboard, and a screenshot works if exporting feels fiddly. No developer, no billing setup, no plugins sit between the data and the answer.
How long does setup take?
Minutes, not days — setup is opening a chat window, uploading a CSV, and pasting the workflow prompt. There is nothing to install, connect or authenticate, so the first margin walk usually returns inside a single sitting. The slowest step is exporting the file from the shop dashboard.
Setup runs inside an account you already have — the CSV is the only moving part, and it is measured in minutes.
Which platforms does it work with?
Any platform that exports a CSV works — Shopify, Lightspeed, WooCommerce, Magento, and most others included. The agent reads the columns in the file rather than connecting to a store, so the platform is irrelevant as long as it can produce an analytics export. A dashboard screenshot substitutes when export is awkward.
Is there a subscription or ongoing fee?
No ongoing fee is charged for the agent itself — it is a one-off €275 workflow, not a subscription. The only recurring cost is whatever ChatGPT or Claude plan is already in use, and a free tier runs it. Nothing renews, meters, or bills per report generated.
What technical skill is required?
If uploading a spreadsheet and reading a reply are manageable, the agent is manageable — no technical skill beyond that is required. There is no code to write, no syntax to learn, and no settings to configure. The workflow prompt does the analysis; the operator supplies a file and reads plain-language output.
What this does not tell you
No-code does not mean no-account: a ChatGPT or Claude login is still needed, and heavier reports run more comfortably on a paid tier than a free one. The CSV must contain the right columns — revenue, orders, spend — or the margin walk stalls on missing inputs. The agent reads a snapshot, not a live feed, so figures reflect the moment of export rather than a self-updating dashboard. Platforms that cannot export any analytics at all fall outside its reach.
