Short answer

How can I check my stock and prices with AI?

You ask your AI for specific product details or a full list of items, and it pulls that data directly from Commerce Layer. You'll get instant answers on what's in stock and what things cost. Here is how the data flows.

Inventory outcomes

Where your data lands.

Your AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on decisions.

STOCK

Real-time availability

The AI pulls current SKU counts so you know exactly what is sitting in the warehouse right now.

PRICING

Live price checks

Get the latest price points for any item in your catalog without opening a dashboard.

AUDIT

Catalog snapshots

Request a full list of your products to verify that your digital storefront matches your physical inventory.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI only reads data. You still need to log in to Commerce Layer to change prices or update stock levels.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for stock info.

The AI translates your questions into specific data requests.

  1. Scan the catalog

    When you ask for a general overview, the AI identifies all available items in your system.

    list_skus

  2. Fetch specific details

    If you ask about a single item, the AI pulls the exact details for that specific SKU.

    get_sku

  3. Verify costs

    The AI looks up the current pricing for the items you are interested in.

    list_prices

  4. Report findings

    The AI summarizes the stock levels and prices into a readable answer for you.

    get_skulist_prices
