Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I change product data using my AI?

You tell your AI what to change, and it executes the update in Akeneo. It identifies the right product and applies the new attribute values immediately. You'll see the changes reflected in your PIM right away.

Where every change lands.

The outcomes of your requests

Depending on what you ask, your AI will perform one of these actions.

DATA UPDATE

Modified attributes

The AI applies new values to specific product fields. Your Akeneo catalog stays current without manual entry.

PRODUCT LIST

Filtered product sets

Your AI pulls a list of products based on your criteria. This helps you find exactly what needs attention.

DETAILS

Full product views

The AI fetches specific information for a single item. You get a clear picture of current attribute states.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual verification

If a request is too vague, the AI stops. You decide when to proceed with complex bulk changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for an update.

The AI follows a logical path to ensure the right data gets changed.

  1. Find the product

    The AI searches your Akeneo catalog to locate the specific item you mentioned.

  2. Check current values

    It looks up the existing attributes to ensure the update makes sense.

    get_product_details

  3. Apply the change

    The AI pushes the new attribute values directly to the Akeneo database.

    update_product

  4. Confirm success

    The AI verifies the update was accepted by the PIM.
