Kodex is an exciting step forward for product storytelling!
I love how it transforms static Shopify product pages into immersive 360° experiences, letting customers ‘feel’ the product instead of just viewing it. The no-code approach makes it accessible for brands that want to stand out without heavy tech work.
If you’re looking to boost engagement and build trust with your customers, Kodex is definitely worth checking out. Can’t wait to see what new features are coming next!
Hey folks 👋
I’m excited to launch Kodex — an AI-powered drag & drop CMS that lets brands craft realistic 3D product stories by pulling back the curtain on their backend processes, without any green-wash, via simple embedded screens on your site or QR codes on your physical product labels.
Why we built it⚙️:
What we built☘️:
Kodex lets you assemble stories of social and visual proof in minutes.
Immersive 3D canvas: Drag in your models, footage or data points
Zero engineering: No dev time, no agency fees, no file-size headaches
Easy embeds & QR: Publish everywhere - both physical and digital
Why it’s different💫:
Show, don’t tell: True transparency comes from a peek behind the scenes
Built-in UGC: Every viewer can tap to share their favourite “step” on socials—auto-tagging your brand and driving word-of-mouth
Scale in hours: Beta partners spun up 3D narratives for 100 SKUs in under a day and saw on-page engagement jump 30%
What I’m most proud of is how Kodex makes transparency marketable: brands don’t just claim honesty—they demonstrate it as a social proof for their customers.
We’d love to hear what you think about Kodex. Please take it for a test drive 🎉.
Question for you: If you could reveal just one hidden detail about a product you love, what would it be—and why?
Thanks a million for your time 🙏,
Siddhartha

I love how interactive micro sites can really enhance trust and drive conversions. How flexible are the design options?
@hazel_joy Thanks for asking. Right now, you have full control over fonts and text colors to match your brand. Layouts and button styles are kept consistent out of the box to ensure clarity and reliability, but expanding those design options is on our roadmap. I’d love to hear which specific layout or button customizations you’re looking for so we can prioritize them!
@hazel_joy We have customizable brand fonts and brand colors. Have to make it more flexible both font and color wise in some places.. Thanks..
This is absolutely brilliant. Can I link products straight to checkout or do I have to embed them manually?
@vera_adams1 You absolutely can send people straight to checkout from your story window. Please follow these steps:
Start your story builder as usual
Add a button element to the bottom drawer section
Paste in your product’s checkout URL
Publish your story
Only published, embed on product pages by mapping your products from the drop-down list on the story card
Once that story’s live, any tap on your CTA takes visitors directly to the checkout page. Let me know if you’d like a quick walkthrough!
@vera_adams1 This is an idea we have been asking around for market fit.. check this out..

What a fantastic concept. The interactive aspect seems like a perfect way to blend storytelling with conversion. Do you allow for embedding multimedia content like videos or interactive 3D models?
@abigail_martinez1 Yes.. options in the main content are:
2d images
2d videos
360 panoramic images
360 panoramic videos
@abigail_martinez1 Thank you so much! Right now Kodex supports 360° images and videos (equirectangular JPEG/PNG or MP4), not native 3D model files. You can:
Upload your 360° panoramas into the drag-and-drop canvas
Add info-icon hotspots directly on the 360 view which floats perfectly in it's place within each sphere, even while users are rotating their view
Map hotspots to related products for cross-sell/up-sell
Use the bottom-drawer overlay to insert video clips or richer 2D content
This gives you a fully interactive “look-around” experience without needing 3D exports. We’re working on true 3D-model support. Happy to share timelines if you’d like... 😀
I love the idea of using microsites to give customers a peek behind the curtain. How flexible are the layouts? Can brands keep a consistent visual identity across different microsites?
@nathaniel_cook2 Right now, every Kodex microsite uses a clean, performance-optimized template to ensure fast load times and a seamless experience. Here’s how brand consistency works today—and what’s coming soon:
Shared Layout Framework
All stories live in the same “360 media supported carousel” structure (which can be structured to form a narrative around the product's back story/journey), so navigation and interaction stay predictable for your customers.
Customizable Brand Elements
You can apply your own fonts (Poppins, Poppins Bold, etc.), color palette (Aquatic Green, Black, Grey), and logo across every microsite.
Consistent Button & Card Styles
We lock down button shapes, card backgrounds, and spacing to guarantee readability and accessibility everywhere.
Unified Experience
Because every microsite shares the same template, your visual identity remains rock-solid from one product story to the next.
Roadmap: Layout Variations
We’re working on multiple template options (grid, full-screen, split-view) so you can choose different layouts while keeping fonts, colors, and logos consistent. That flexibility goes live in the next quarter.
@Products @Businesses
Let’s be real. Have you ever felt that online shopping is too flat? A product page filled with static photos doesn’t connect with people. We wanted to fix that.
Meet Kodex – our no-code tool that brings Shopify products to life with 360° storytelling. No coding. No pricey developers. Just immersive, interactive experiences that make customers stop scrolling and start feeling the product.
We built Kodex for:

🚀 Thrilled to launch Kodex today!
Kodex is a no-code platform that lets brands build immersive, interactive storytelling layers on top of their products, processes, and provenance. Think of it as a dynamic microsite builder—built for transparency, traceability, and brand depth.
🔧 Under the hood:
Modular architecture for customizable layouts
Visual editor powered by WebGL + React
Interactive components like clickable hotspots, timelines, and 360° views
Structured storytelling—every element is backed by real data (e.g., sourcing, supply chain, materials)
Analytics integration to track story engagement
We built Kodex for forward-thinking DTC brands, marketplaces, and manufacturers who want to replace generic “About Us” pages with rich, proof-backed experiences.
Massive thanks to the team and early users who pushed us to ship this. Excited to hear your feedback, ideas, and use cases! 🙌
