Robert Thorp

Founder of Connily. 14 years in e-commerce, building brands & running an agency. Robert is now building AI that does the work.

Robert Thorp is the founder of Connily, an AI-powered social media agent for Shopify brands. Before building software, he spent 14 years in e-commerce - launching his own consumer brand into Amazon bestsellers and 600+ UK retail stores, then running Connily Studio, a social media agency serving 100+ brands.

After watching the same content problems repeat across every client, he spent 2 years building the fix: an AI agent that connects to Shopify, understands your products, and handles your social media end-to-end.

Robert is based in Dubai and writes about AI, e-commerce, and what it actually takes to build.
