FAQ

The Tolstoy Plugin in Gemini CLI.

What can Gemini CLI do with the Tolstoy Plugin?

The Tolstoy Plugin lets Gemini CLI work with Tolstoy information you approve, including product videos, media-library assets, shoppable placements, campaign creative, and performance data when those features are available in your workspace.

Is this only for Shopify brands?

No. The Tolstoy Plugin is for ecommerce teams that use Tolstoy. Shopify data can be part of the information you approve for connected stores, but the plugin connection is not Shopify-only.

What should I ask first?

Start with a real campaign, product launch, PDP update, or creative test. Ask the AI tool to use Tolstoy to find relevant media, plan a shoppable placement, or turn the brief into assets your team can review.
