Use Cases & Recipes

Practical examples of what you can accomplish with Calvin

Calvin is designed to handle the operational tasks that slow eCommerce teams down. Here are practical scenarios that demonstrate how different teams use Calvin to turn hours of work into minutes of execution.

Building landing pages and UI components is one of the most common use cases. A brand needed new screens while their designer was on leave. Using Calvin with a Web Development workspace, they described the layouts they needed in natural language and attached their brand guidelines. Calvin's Full Stack Developer agent generated complete, brand-compliant components and layouts in under three minutes — work that would normally take 20 to 40 hours of back-and-forth between design and development.

Generating analytics reports and visualizations is another area where Calvin delivers immediate value. Teams that spend hours manually building reports in GA4 or other analytics platforms can describe the insights they need, and Calvin's Analyst agent generates the visualizations and delivers actionable insights. One team reduced their reporting time from 8 to 12 hours down to about 3 minutes of agent execution, with an additional 4 minutes of fine-tuning adjustments.

Product catalog management benefits greatly from Calvin's automation capabilities. An eCommerce team that struggled to produce descriptions for their entire catalog used Calvin to create a product description optimizer. The agent built a tool that generates, corrects, and publishes product descriptions automatically. The initial tool was created in under 6 minutes, and individual descriptions are produced in under 35 seconds each.

Running QA and validation before releases helps teams catch issues early. Using a Web QA workspace, you can describe what needs to be tested, and the Web QA Specialist agent systematically checks for errors, validates functionality, and reports issues — all before anything goes live. This reduces the QA bottleneck that often delays releases.

Building automation workflows with n8n is streamlined through Calvin's n8n Workflow Developer agent. Rather than manually configuring n8n nodes and connections, you describe the workflow you need ("When a new order comes in, check inventory, send a confirmation email, and update the CRM"), and the agent builds it.

Creating custom internal tools is another powerful use case. When your team needs a backoffice tool, an admin dashboard, or a data processing utility, Calvin can build it from scratch in a fraction of the time it would take a developer. Describe the functionality you need, and the agent scaffolds the entire application — frontend, backend, and database — ready for deployment.

For agencies managing multiple brands, Calvin scales horizontally. Each brand can have its own workspace with its own configuration, tips, and memory. Agents learn the specific conventions of each brand independently, so switching between clients does not mean starting from zero each time.
