Short answer

How can I audit my storefront configuration with AI?

Your agent pulls live data from your Elastic Path instance to check settings, menus, and country availability. You'll get a clear view of your current setup through these specific data points.

Audit outcomes

Where your data lands.

These are the specific results your agent produces after running a check.

DATA

Live configuration snapshots

The AI pulls your current store settings. You get a direct view of your active parameters without manual exports.

NAV

Menu structure maps

Your agent retrieves all navigation entry points. This shows you exactly how your site hierarchy is built.

GEO

Regional availability checks

The AI compares your active countries against your intended setup. It flags if a region is missing or misconfigured.

HUMAN

Manual fixes required

The AI identifies the gaps but cannot change your settings. You still handle the actual configuration updates in the Elastic Path dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Elastic Path instance.

  1. Fetch regional data

    The agent checks which countries are currently enabled in your store setup.

    get_countries

  2. Map site navigation

    It pulls the full list of navigation entry points to see how users move through your site.

    get_navigations

  3. Analyze search settings

    The agent looks at your search configurations to ensure they match your storefront needs.

    get_searches

  4. Identify mismatches

    The AI compares the data from all three sources to find inconsistencies in your configuration.
